Just as a public service announcement, for those of you who don't know, RACV will cover skylines now! I know this won't matter much to you older folk who can get on with Shannons and the like, but those of us stuck with Just Cars massive fees this might help.

I just got off the phone with them, and their 3rd Party Fire + Theft quote undercut JCI by about 50% and full comp is actually affordable!

*this may have been happening for awhile and i'm just slow, but when i got my car back in '05 i was politely informed that RACV wouldn't touch me with a 10ft bargepole

JCI - Just upped it from $5 to $10k recently, but market value on my NA is probably less than that

RACV - $5k for the loss.

The other difference though, JCI have excesses totalling about $1500 odd if your foolish enough to make a claim, whereas for RACV excess would be $900.

Seeing as full comp is affordable with RACV, if i pay it monthly, it's tempting to go that way.

Full comp on market value was about $1500, or $130/month. That's with the car registered at the parents place out in the sticks (fringe benefit of having a term address at uni).

The price difference would still be similar being kept in the city though.

I just did an online quote with the RACV for fully comprehensive insurance of an r33 Skyline. The grand total....Over $6,500 per annum. Good to see RACV are attempting to make it affordable for young people! :P

Ouch. Mine was for an NA, kept in the country, and 3 years worth of driving.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By MBS206 · Posted

      With the system, once you drive it for a bit, and before you turn the car off, does the car fix its date and time? When you say the date is wrong, what date does the vehicle think it is, and does it always show the same date? My thoughts from a process driven view is; The system may be defaulting to a standard start date/time. The main reason you'd typically see this occuring, is the system is losing its constant/backup power supply.   If its always defaulting to the same date/time at start up, and especially if it fixes itself while driving, I'd say either the non volatile memory has an issue, or the power supply to the volatile memory that stores this information.   The other thing I'd check is if there is anywhere in the system you can adjust the date and time from. If the date/time is still moving forward since it wished you happy new year, then it is 100% possible the system has just had a bit of data corruption occur, and you likely need to find a way to reset the date/time in the vehicle.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Scissor Jacks are an accident waiting to happen, the only time they should be used are in an roadside flat, even then a tyre and rim should be placed underneath

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      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?
