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.

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.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By PranK · Posted

      Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.

      I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box

      So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.

      Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo
