ok hang on so the $2802 is what i pay per year and the "excess" which is $1600 is what i pay in an event of an accident etc? 3046 much safer than 3047 :P

what do yous pay then for your premiums?

If one's ecr33 diff has gone from a twin spinner to a single spinner akin to that of a VN commodore, what should one do?

options are:

shim

weld

replace with GTR diff

replace with real diff

all of these better than standard diff

Replace with GTR diff you say?

What benefit would this have over say, a train... which i can also afford.

Shim = what i will be doing

Weld = f**k that

GTR diff = will need to replace both half shafts as GTR is 6 bolt and GTST is 5 bolt

Replace with real diff = expensive and if u buy a shit one like i did it will explode nicely LOL

$10/month X 12 months = $120

is this your r33 or? why so cheap you must have a spotless license or something..

u think thats bad i remember being quoted somewhere round 5-6k full comp back in 2003 as a p plater r34 gtt think just cars or shannons.....

now $290 third party just cars.....

not surprised for a p plater i dont know what p plater would be able to afford that just for insurance anyway

thats not too bad for 3 cars but why do you need 3 cars for :/ i can understand 2 if you had 1 daily in which case i'd get a shitter thats not even worth insuring so i'd still only pay for 1

On a scale of 1 to Miley Cyrus, how illegal is shimming a diff?

you can shim a diff as tightly as you want, you can shim it for minimum lock or shim it so that it skips like a 2 way. Up to you.

With legality, its like anything if cops see it skipping they might say something, i have never had a prob with cops with the 2 way, they saw it skipping along the ground and didnt say anything

shim

weld

replace with GTR diff

just went out for a drive to prac my heel and toe technique.......master :whistling: i notice that my diff feels a bit sad maybe its these f@#%in ku36's dnt like em time to get a real

diff nismo 1.5 or 2 way? yea boiii...

3 litre is probably cheaper

f**k welding the diff or GTR diff

either shim your current one or new kazz centre or nismo centre

do it once and do it properly

stuff changing in / out 2nd hand parts etc

kaaz 1.5

do it and you can thank me later.

shimming's good fun if you own a beat up 32, but if you want it to last, do it properly. Put it this way... ALL the power you make has to go through it. If you wanna wager that on a $1.50 shim go nuts.

shimming just increases the bite point of your viscous, which means there's still slip, as time goes on it'll wear down and cark your diff. Guaranteed. Unless you're prepared to pull down and flush pumpkins after every track day or major fang session.

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
