Bwhahah You guys have it easy I pay about 3000 a year 22 YO clean history, had the ride for 1.5 years now

Btw to the bloke in slurry hills your insurance is going to be massive. Hopefully you have a garage hey.

Oh mines mildly modded soon be more-modded? can i tell the insurance company that? lol

GIO custom car insurance, the policy is way better than any of the carinsurance like shannons where u cant drive anywhere, just look at it parked in a garage with a car cover made of kevlar so even dust cant break into it.

I must add I live in a very bad crime rate area, but slurry hills is worse.. weird.

Hey mate,

Did you try Justcars? Im 21 with the same car as you (probably minus the mods) but I have a flawed history with speeding (damn lane cove tunnel...i was OVERTAKING!) and a claim (...someone stopped in front on me suddenly at like 50km :D ). But yeh, Im paying around 2k insurance. (the excess is a bit over the top). It just seems 3k is a bit expensive for someone with a clean history.

Might be the crime rate area, but yeh. The more money you save on insurance, the more money you have to mod! :D

Im 22, R34GTT stock.. paying $1,800 a year.

There is alot of different things that go into the cost of it all.

Sometimes it can come down to where u live.

Mate sadly with insurance ocmpanies realising that the whole parents name thing is a sham and that the kids are driving the cars most of the time, the insurance covers the cost of the lowest age driver, therefore if you really do drive that car insurance qoute of 3600 covers that cost for them.

I paid something like that in my first year in my name and after i fked up my car my insurance went through the roof!!!! i was paying something like 5000 for one year...and i shat myself.

thats the lesson you get though, its gradually fallign im around 2500-3000 now like mentioned in the above post, hopefully it drops soon since i have had a clean record/age increase/getting off p's.

Try Ansfa (however you spell it) they give you better agreed value etc etc than AAMI just car blah blah, (just car is the worst for p platers) Try them, you should drop to around 3000 id say.

my quick quote with GF included was about $1400

goth them to do a propper quote

Car is completely stock

1 male 24 (now 25) clean record (drives > 50%)

1 female 22 clean record (drives <50%)

bopth work for gov and drive their cars

Car is garaged

together we also own 3 other cars all which are insured and currently registered

agreed to insure the car for what i paid ($10 500)

and it was sucked down to $880 for the first year and additional excess is bumped up an extra $400 - Fully Comp

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
