I think NSW, along with most states, don't let P plate drivers drive cars with over 200kw.

saw this list too, didn't have the 350gt in it. the 2009 updated list on the other hand....

Hello, :/

My name is John from Sydney and I am a new to this thread.

I'm planning to buy a 350GT in any time soon...(will post a pic soooooonnnnnnnnn~~)

Just a quickie:

Who provides your insurance and how much are you paying??

Hey guys I have a v36 350gt insured with AI insurance full comp plus gold club membership for 900 very cheap compared to shonnons who quoted me 2900 and just car 2400 my Skyline is a 2007 model hope this helps

Only one problem with AI, no own choice of repairer. They have a list of 1000 repairers, according to their FAQ, for the customer to choose from.

No thanks. I'm paying Shannons $2700 a year for my '09 V36 coupe ($55k agreed value) and that's good peace of mind for me.

I used to be with AI insurance and I could choose any repairer.

Their price was good, but NRMA offered better price :)

The only issue I had with AI was the time it took them to process a dispute that I had with a repairer. The repairer did a poor job with clear coat and it took AI about 4-5 months to follow it up... Very frustrating.

But when the initial accident occurred they were fast :)

Hope it helps!

I can choose any repairer have done so with my previous car and specified this when insuraning my new car

Well i feel like someone just stuck a rubber fist up my anouse after i just got my renewal papers from NRMA, so the cost is $1580, the car is insured for $18,700, $800 excess. Now last year when i was 22 and 1st got the insurace i paid $1600 and the car was insured for $22k with same excess with no multi policy discounts and this year im getting a $220 multi discount cauz i now that the green slip with NRMA also.

I think insurance has gone up across the board.. the insurance for my wife's J31 Maxima jumped from $400 last year to just over $600 this year.. we haven't had any claims or accidents. I rang and complained and they dropped it to about $550..

Insurance doesn't normally get cheaper because the insured value is lower..

I am a little scared about my up-coming home insurance renewal..

I rang just cars they wanted $1600. Called NRMA got it for $1200. I know alot of places won't insure under 25 especially when they here import like it's a dirty word! Anyway my car is registered in my name and insurance is joint (my partner and I) but they were going to insure it with just his name on it even though car is registered to me. Didn't know that you could do that. Plus my partner has had is lic suspended in the past.

My insurance went from $988 to $1819 so WTF .... and value went down 2,300 ....

just car is 1248, nrma beat by 10% with windscreen cover @ rating 1, 1 at fault, 26yrs, licence since 18, no bad record $1,123 with value at $30,700

will do bit more shopping around

  • 2 weeks later...

so just got my renewal papers from just car.

last year's was:

12 months: $1,011

agreed value: $31,500

got quite a shock when i looked at this years agreed value

12 months: $962

agreed value: $25,200

trying to figure out how the agreed value dropped so much, makes my head hurt pinch.gif

When i was with HBF they had a 20% drop in value every year for all imports. Was just their standard policy and I had to provide an independant valuation to get the agreed value increased.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
