Well I just called up Famous Insurance to get a quote, spoke to a good bloke, however he told me that since my car is twin turbo, I need to wait to be 25 or older till they can insure me. Apparently single turbo is fine however. Is the right guys? Seems like a silly rule to me

perfect reason to convert to a big single.

"honestly officer, my insurance company made me do it..."

Just rang H2P. They will cover my car for $23,000 and quoted $1110 PA

Im paying more then that at just car to cover $14,000

Hmmmm

Renewal comes up in march. Pretty sure im shifting to H2P

would be interesting to see if a fella rang and gave the exact same details i.e. age, driving history, same suburb & storage and car specs, whether the quote would be exactly the same.

I've heard that males that drive imports and are under 25 can sometimes be penalized by some ins companies.......food for thought.

Correct, i just got a quote from them.

1998 R34 Skyline

exhaust, wheels, cooler, suspension, cd player and ecu listed.

Premium: $2919.01

per month: $243.26

Rating 2 (im rating 3 with just car)

Excess: $2000 (500 basic, 500 <25 turbo, 500 car is an import, 500 for mods)

No agreed Value mentioned.

Yeah girls do get it cheaper a lot of the time. Did at Justcar, cost an extra 500bux if you were a guy. Not to include the age excess... which is bigger then a females also.

H2P do allow monthly repayments and dont charge any extra to do so, no cancelation fees or anything either. I also got a quote for when I upgrade and get a Turbo, its and extra 500bux on excess or something like that.

Basic excess is $1000

Driver under 21 - $750

Driver 21-24 - $500

Driver (me)- $250

Just car have $1000 basic

another $1000 if your at fault and another car is involved

Then driver and age excesses on top of that. Cant remember the exact details but when the renewal papers come through I will do a proper comparison and let ya know.

just keep in mind that with H2P they get to pick and choose what mods they want to pay out if anything happens = not everything is covered.

that certaintly doesnt give me piece of mind so i was glad i changed to shannons

I spoke to the guy at the Shannons stand at SMASA on the weekend.

If you can answer yes to the following questions, you will NOT be insured by them.

Are you under 25?

Is your special vehicle your daily drive?

I was informed that the 26-27-28 year olds who keep drifting and smashing their 180sx's and Silvias are to blame. Shannons wont be insuring kids with daily drive imports in the near future.

isnt ur 34 NA though? thats gonna make a massive difference when talkin to insurers

You would think so, its still classified as a high performance import tho. The difference is under 500 bucks. Pretty gay, ill still use the "cheap insurance" line when I sell it.

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
