how can you have enough time to paint the intercooler, but 'didn't have a chance' to make a 5 minute phone call and have it insured in your name? any car I buy or import (and it's quite a few) I ring the insurance company and get the insurance before i leave to go and collect the car. it's easy. takes 5 minutes. and means if I crash it or get carjacked on the way home I am covered before I've even had to shell out a cent. there is no excuse really to go un-insured.

THEY FOUND IT IN ONE PIECE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

April Fools' stopped 10 minutes ago!

Tell me you're not pullin' my leg right?

So what's the whole story from the cops?

Lesson learned (from Richard #21)???

Tez

yea for some stupid reason i was under the impresion that it had to be in my name to insure it.

as for the car, the only thing they took was a shity radio :S no body damage at all

i'll give you another tip. the day before you are due to go get the car. ring an insurance company and get a quote. ask them to send the paper quote out to you. the quote acts as valid insurance from the day it was issued and I believe it's valid for 14 days (it will be stated on the quote). so even if you haven't paid it, in 2 days time your car was stolen, you are covered by that policy as you had intended to take it up within the allowable period.

No insurance, no sympathy.

well thats one way of putting it.....

but your forgetting how majority of people are here......

most people on the skyline thread/forum are MALE......early 20's... with R33 or R32 GTS-t.

can you imagine how much insurance would be? and plus most younger people are on lower paying jobs...

so in a way, you gotta have sympathy dude....

think about it, some poor kid has saved his whole working years to buy the car he really wants....cant afford 6,000$ per anum for insurance.......so they just buy 3rd party property damage.......

and then get their car pinched.... they lost everything in away.

Why? Good info in here for others.. Learn from other's experience instead of the hard way..

I have never bought a car without getting at the least a cover note. Can't afford insurance, can't afford the car.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
