I can understand why people would want an n-a skyline. theyre nice cars to drive - even without the boost.. but in all honestly if you're trying to keep your insurance down and you want an n-a I 'd look at a bling bling euro. driving experience and pimp factor.

there are a surprising number of s/hand beemers and peugots around at hurter cheap prices.

if you want a jap import with an n-a engine there are some cool cars around - like the infinitys, cedrics, glorias and celsiors.

i managed to get insurance for my GTS.

and im 18.

(drivin almost 2 years or there abouts...)

if u cant find anywhere else, famous classic car will insure anyone as long as u can come up with the cash. (they quoted me $2500 ish for a non turbo)... but i went with western QBE (usually dont insure imports but i had used them as insurance before so they allowed it) and now im paying $1900 a year for a non turbo :D

and thats with a 20 % NCB. cant wait till i get my 30% next year an then more an more!!!

mmm yeh i have an n/a and was paying 2.5k for my first years insurance :D

i doesnt really make much difference turbo or not, as soon as insurance companies hear the word imported they add another grand 2 your insurance :D

it woulda cost me around another grand if i got a turbo

and yer as Pva said being under 25 is seen as a major risk

nah, that's not what I'm saying. everyone gets their cars for different reasons.

I wanted mine for maybe 10-15% pimp factor and 85-90% because theyre great cars with good handling and great bang for buck.

if you take away the turbo, you do take away the bang for buck to an extent. hence if I wanted a car for pure sex appeal i'd probably have a look at some other things. then maybe still go with the line, but who knows.....

    • Here is a recipe. Sonic blocks till you get one that has a good enough bore. Get a torque plate and block brace, use your choice of fasteners (arp ect) bolt the thing together empty, half fill it and let it cure. Release it when it has, go to a REPUTABLE RB Builder and get the thing line bored/honed and cylinder honed to size, then wash. Once its all clean and dandy, wash and blow it out again. Then again.  Assemble said engine to your desired clearances with oil control mods, gasket to suit desired CR/Squish ect. Attach your extended sump with proper trap door oil baffles and head drain plumbed to sump with a SUMP BREATHER SYSTEM. Build your front diff with a decent LSD, rebuild your transfer case with a few extra plates, more than likely replace your tailshaft centre bearing and tighten up the rear diff. Tune to minimise excessive midrange cylinder pressure (timing unless you like to split bores and rebuild engines) Enjoy your engine, but hate the fact you are now destroying engine mounts, gearboxes, gearbox mounts, diff output flanges and driveshafts, diff mounts, tailshafts and front CV's.   Disclaimer.... Ive never done any of the aforementioned stuff.......
    • 440s will support well over 400HP on petrol, which is a decent place to be for an RB20. 230+rwkW. Will be a safer bet for idle/low load. 550s would be nice for the extra headroom. I've made the same decision with mine (Neo25). 1000s are probably too big for the Nistuned ECU, so I have some smaller ones.
    • Appreciate everything guys. I did go ahead and get an alignment... most of my complains are solved. Car is not perfect, but it's good enough. If I notice uneven tire wear or anything I'll just take everything back to stock.  Thanks again!
    • They still have not shipped the 550cc injectors as they weren't in stock, so in theory I could ask to get the 440cc ones instead, if those work better in my scenario. They're the same price so really shouldn't be an issue. Unfortunately I am not so knowledgeable in most parts of tuning so I wasn't sure what's best to choose between the two. 440cc ones are the lowest they have (not in stock, but available to buy nonetheless).
