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?

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
