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.

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
