I was in a similiar possition with finance and couldnt get a skyline. chose a rex instead (and wouldnt have it any other way now). Heaps of nice ones around 25K. I got an immaculate stock rex for $24300. Mainly MY97 and MY98's in that price range.

Famous have very odd quotes. When i i rang up 3 times they gave me three RIDICULOUS prices.

RAC will insure WRX's for you. I pay around 2K a year but thats in my name. I only have 20% NCB. If i had gone under my dads, it would have cost me about 1.5K.

Suss out what rex's will offer you.

just as a follow up, i just got off the phone to the RAC with some pretty good news...

they quoted me $3920 per year for a 1998 subaru WRX to a value of $25,000

then they quoted me $1960.37 for the same car under my mums name with me as a nominated driver..

im pretty happy with this price, and altho dissapointed i cant get my preferred skyline, still happy with a WRX

hope this info helps any others that are in the same boat as me

thanks fellas

While we are talking insurance and the RAC ..... my car (R33 GTST) is insured in my mums name with me as 30% driver by the RAC ....... bill came in this month ..... costing me $1.4K .... is it just me or for a car thats insured in my parents name this is unusally high?? ...... does anyone know of anywhere that'll insure my "mums" :P car for less?

by insuring in your parents name you are not generating your own No Claim Bonus, even as a nominated driver (qoute RAC unquote) so just putting off the high premiums till later on --- Sons 180sx is in his name he just turns 19 this week been insured for a year with no claims etc and his premium has dropped 600 dollars with RAC so my advise to the younguns is to tough out the 1st year and then once you have your own No claim bonus you will see the cost go down fast

Hrmm, my previous car was insured under my parents name and I was the nominated driver and I got 40% no claims through RAC because of being a nominated driver on their policy..

For the record I am 21, 50% no claim paying $1450pa for MY99 WRX through RAC.

if you want HBF insurance you need to suck up to me.

BIGTIME

nah even then guys HBF new rulings are as soon as you say import you get put on hold and then the decision gets made by our underwriting manager. Unfortunately we recently had a large claim for very little damage on an import and it has opened their eyes to what kind of amount they have paid out in the past for no real good reason as repairers have been quoting phenominal prices without utilising the second hand parts market that is available.

Not many of you know but I have been trying for ages to get imports specifically skylines insured by us and after all the time and effort and phone calls and hard work etc its all fallen in a heap because of a recent claim. I have done a bit of insurance for a few of you that have qualified, but if you want insurance now, you need to be older than 23 with a clean history and a very minimally modified car. but still depending on no claim bonus expect to pay from $900 to $2300 or thereabouts.

but PM me if you have a query and only if you are meeting the above criteria.

This is a one time only offer.

oh yeah and none of the its my dads or mums car which i drive blah blah, if they bought it for you then YOU insure it and keep the system simple.

Exactly, Your no claim bonus from under a parents name is completely at thier discretion.

Classic also didn't care I was supposed to have 40% NC, but due to an RAC f**kup, it went back to 30%....

... so i had 30% with classic....

... hence i moved companies :P

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
