You don't have to park on your property overnight to be covered. If the car is within 500m of your place of residence, it needs to be in a lockup garage overnight to be covered against theft. It doesn't have to be your garage. And you are covered if you leave it outside overnight more than 500m away. This is just to stop people leaving their car exposed to car thieves overnight in the street or in a driveway where they are easy to steal. Personally I welcome this because it's dropped my premium over the past couple of years. I've read a lot of posts from people whose cars got stolen from their driveway or in the street in front of their house, and I am glad that my insurance money is not funding any cars that have gone missing in this way. I'm not saying that I don't feel for these people, but I'm glad I don't have to pay for it.

cant park outside @ night?

i thought u could but not within a certain close distance in which you have to garage it?

edit: i got my cheapest quote with Famous.. great help on the phone and was very polite.. think her name is Julianna or something

yeah your right, i should have made that more clear, i did mean the rule where it has to be within 500M from your house in a Garage...

also the westfield here is within 500M from my house (i think...) so i wonder if im at the movies and the car gets stolen if its covered?

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
