Hi All,

Im just after some feedback for N/A vs T for insurance. Do the prices really vary that much? I think the main cost is cos its an imported car. I think the turbo vs non turbo only equates for about 10% of the insurance cost. Does this seem resonable?

What is your expierence with insurance quotes?

With the following mods: extractors, exhaust modifications, air filter modifications, stereo, wheels, 3pt immobiliser and alarm, tinted windows I have received the following quotes

Rating 6, Just cars: $4700 full comp

Rating 5, Just cars: $2500 full comp

amazing how much difference one rating makes -- sorry i can't compmare this to turbo insurace though.

do you know how much they want for a GTST with same conditions/age etc..?

I am 25 rating 1, Just cars for a 96 GTS-T with bodykit, mags and exhaust with Viper alarm is 1,200, compared to Suncorp which is $983, however, that means that my girlfriend, 22, cannot be covered...under 25 insurance SUCKS on anything decent...

ok well, my first year, day i got my licence got my car insured for 3300 a year non turbo, they tol me 50 bucks extra a year for a turbo. Im now just turned 18 and my insurance has gone down to 2276 as a rating 4 and again 50 dollars extra if i turbo it. Go the turbo if insurance is ur only concern.

Edit: just thought id mention i also have a shitload of listed mods just for eg, big stereo, guages 17" chromies, full kit, cf bonnet, after market steering wheel etc etc...

as a rule, insurance premiums vary depending on the suburb you live in, your driving record, your insurance rating, how old you are, if you're male, if the car is auto or manual, how many cylenders and doors it has, and whether its turbo or not.

some of these are obvious, some aren't. a turbo premium is more because of the higher power output and the desirability for thieves.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

      Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.

      I have an elite 2500 running an adapter harness on an rb25de neo r34. I took the butterfly out and removed all that junk. But I also went Plus+t at the same time. The butterfly thing works in reverse to the boost solenoid on the Gtt if that makes sense

      yeh they are 235/45/17 up front and 255/40/17 in the rears. I still didn't get my answer if i can fit a 18x9 up front. I want to get 4 of this and see if they will fit before committing as they didn't see an 18x8 as an option but there is a 18x9.5 also.   Enkei RS05-RR 18x9 35mm ET 5x114.3 75.0 Bore Matte Gunmetal Wheel
