...and that is any of your business or concern how?

You're a f*king moron.

I'm just trying to help a young kid out before he is just another thread starter about yet another uninsured skyline being stolen.

I'm yet to see one thread on here that says.

:rofl: skyline stolen from X, but it's all good.

I had it insured for agreed value of $18K

because everyone takes the "it' not going to happen to me.. " approach.

I just can't believe that you can say that in todays state of affairs.

click search and type in STOLEN.

have a look at the dates the hundreds of threads that come up have on them.

you paid $12K for the skyline.

"WHEN" someone steals it from you, you will get back $2500 "AFTER" you have paid your exess of what? $1K for a 21 year old?

seriously mate.

It's a nice looking car.

alarm etc will do f*k all when some c**t with a bat taps on your window.

ye i understand. Just where did u get $2500 from? Im covered for $10000 with just cars, so i would get $9000 back. Thats wat im lead to believe.

I ran out of those you sonofabitch...

sorry, sorry..

Mark - have a look in this here mirror...

Be careful mate.

Perhaps look at getting your name off your profile too.

mines 89 and valued between $5500 - $7500 through just car insurance.

only added a head unit and an exhaust.

Double check your excess mate,i just re-insured mine last week and theres new additions to excess

my total excess is $1750 and im 24. i recall the 18-22yr olds have to pay about and extra $100 im pretty sure.

Mines a 1993. The full information on the insurance should be in my letterbox soon, but im fairly certain she said its insured for $10000, excess if car stolen - $1200, excess if involved in a crash, etc - $1800

Just thought i should share some things ive been working on in the interior. Abit flashy, but not too bright in real life. Its bayside blue base coat colour.

Basically i completely reshaped the centre surround and done a pod for the boost gauge from scratch. All done with fibreglass and body filler.

Comments, opinions???

Hiya,

Can I suggest that when you can, insure the car comprehensively; but get an 'AGREED VALUE' policy rather than 'market value'.

Insurance companies have a nasty habit of paying out as little as they can - NO JOKE!

If you car did get stolen, what value do you think the company would place on your wheels mate?

i) I think you've got a nice car with good value but...

ii) The insurance Co. would give you little change of $12K!

Don't believe me! Ask the Insurance Co. that 'leading question'!

You'll Sleep Better. Terry

    • Not too sure just yet, want to have a go at doing what I can myself, but to start with want someone to cast their eye over it tell me what needs doing to get it running and back on the road, so anyone with great overall knowledge would be ideal.
    • I personally would go with cutting out the rubber. Then deal with getting sleeve off separately. Rubber can be painful to cut, it loves to jam up cutting tools. I normally have success with drill bits, deburr bits, angle grinders, jigsaw, reciprocating saw, and never forget... fire. Obviously different tools won't work in all locations you're trying to work with, and you need to be comfortable with each. You personally may be happy slowly slicing it out with a razor blade, if you are, go for it with one too! Feel free to wait for others to weigh in also on their thoughts.
    • So ... I got everything disconnected and started dropping the frame. Three of the four mounts started to come down but the fourth one (the one with the nut that gave me all the trouble) won't budge. The inner metal sleeve stays up tight against the chassis rail although the outer part of the mount drops a bit (and can be levered quite a lot more) but it's just stretching the rubber bushing. So I reckon there's some serious corrosion inside the inner sleeve and holding it tight to the lug at the top of the bolt. Tried everything I can think of so far: penetrating oil, whacking the top of the sleeve to vibrate it and wedge a screwdriver blade in there. I also tried to turn the inner sleeve a bit by hitting it with a chisel at the bottom. It's stuck solid. What do you think about cutting the rubber with a blade so I can drop the subframe around it anyway. Then worry about getting the inner sleeve off after? Will that work? Is it gonna give me even more problems?
    • Steam valve seals are usually responsible for cold start smoke, it goes away once engine warmed up. Disconnect it let engine breathers and let it breath freely, see if problem goes away after a short drive. Also check to make sure engine oil drain pipe is not blocked or kinked. 
    • Haha thanks! Yea I'm moving over from 2x 1000cc jets pre throttle over to 6x 190cc direct port jets and 1x 500cc pre throttle jet.  Direct port comes with all the advantages you would expect, except that pre throttle does cool down IAT'S more. That's why my direct port nozzle placement is closest to the plenum as possible in the runners to allow the air more time to cool before being sucked in. I'm also putting that one 500cc pre throttle jet to help with more cooling. It's a hybrid system. There's a lot more advantages to moving over to a PWM solenoid with a constant pressure system vs my old PWM pump setup, but I'll get more into that once I'm done converting everything over. The ricer in me is excited to see SS tubing all over my manifold though!
