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.....

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
