Hi all first off I have done a search of the forums on insurance brokers and most of the numbers i called didnt work or wern't for sydney peoples

so if any of you have a good place or person i can call to see if they can get me insurance on a 98 r34 N/A (non turbo) skyline please either PM their details or leave a post here

I cant pay them unless they find a quote thats actually decent

Thanks

umm

try famous there should be a link in the genral automotive discussion forums about cheaper insurance

look in there.

also try just cars, got my rx7 insured with them as third party for 570 a year which is ok.. im 17 also..

comprehensive will hurt you no matter who you insure with

you got an RX7 now?

sweeet!! pics?

Yeah.. Should be here in about a week or so. I've only got a few crappy pictures of it sitting all dusty in the auction yard atm I'll upload some better ones in a day or two (waiting for them to be sent to me). It's nothing special yet just a gunmetal 1988 manual turbo II.. few mods.. coilovers, strut top brace, rims, exhaust, pod, steering wheel....

BACKUP, how did you go finding the thread? Did you give Famous insurance a call?

Hey Backup I've got an 18yo bro who I was looking to insure on an R33. Anyway called up heaps of places, and the brokers I spoke to said that they prolly wouldn't be able to do much better than the quotes I'd already gotten from JustCars / Famous Classic..

i dont want an integra type R coz i need a RWD

im stuk wats a good car thats RWD and under 50k new

Near new good enough... what about cars like MX-5, IS200. Quick 5spd cars with great chassis and plenty of aftermarket parts if you want to go that little bit quicker.

50k??? to spend and your only 17? farrrrkkkkk

Anyone's first car should be worth less than $5k and their second car should be worth less than $15k :P

$50k is a LOT to put in the hands of someone who's 17. Shit can will and does happen, and if it has any power i wouldn't insure you either!! :(

Get a cheap car < $10k get 3rd party property on it and you can use the no-claim history on that to increase your NCB when you take out comprehensive on your next car.

kinks i am going to be importing an r32 half way through january 2004 either gtst or gts4t for about 11k all up on the road in australia hopefully it will be good

i will get 3rd party only and a good security system

ill make a good post for finding my r32 wen the time comes :P

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
