So they rejected an insurance opportunity with me on my new GTR because I have lost my license 3 times in the past 5 years.

Mind you 5 years is a long time and this country is THE anal place of the world for road laws.

Just wondering...have you guys had similar experience with insurance companies based on poor speeding history?

or do you all have clean driving histories and i should think about canceling my deposit on my GTR?

5 years might be a long time...but 3 times in 5 years is a bit extreme

maybe you should learn the difference between a drag strip and chappel st

never taken my car to chapel st at night mate

never dragged my car

you clearly dont live in Victoria where cops wait at the bottom of a hill in a 60k zone and pull you over when you accidentally hit 70 or 75.

you clearly have never driven on a 80k road where you get pulled over going 85 (but lo and behold the 40k signs from the construction workers were left out on the weekend even though they arent working) and so you lose your license.

Make accusations like that and you look the fool.

I Beleive Just Car are more lenient in terms of driving history mate, Shannons can be an absolute pain in the ass to get insurance out of perhaps just ring and ask... without dropping your details or do an online quote... without your actual details just so you can get an idea of the various insurers and the effect your driving history will have on your ability to buy insurance from them, plus its impact on your premiums.

As for not buying the car, only do that if you can literally not find insurance for it.... if you dont buy an awesome car because your worried about losing your licence in it... the terrorists win.

Well i did live in vic a few years ago, so I know what its like, Yet I managed to never get done for speeding or anything for that matter.

I FYI if the 40k signs are still out at a work site than the speed limit is 40 :)

Its a glass of cement, and harden the fark up

Maybe try just car insurance.

Yeah id like to harden the f**k up but not sure if my wallet can

Just car quoted $5000 a year and $12,000 excess

*sigh* I do believe the terrorists are winning.

Have to agree with Amer, there are some shit circumstances down here in Vic that can land you without a licence.

Just because it hasn't happened to you before does not mean it cannot happen.

I say keep ringing around. If you can't find insurance then of course cancel...there will surely be someone who is willing to take you on for a large excess/premium.

Holy Jesus mate, thats pretty much criminal, have you tried tying it in with your house insurance or something like that Just call up whoever does your general insurance (House etc) and say you want to have your car with them also, and if they dont insure you or give it a ludicrious premium say you think youl take your business elsewhere.

At the end of the Day it is the insurance companys decsion if they want to insure you.

They make an assement on based on many things like your age and driving history.

Having lost your liscence 3 times in the past 5 years obviously means you didnt learn your lesson the first and second time and they see it as being a massive risk to them as you are driving a 180k Vehicle.

70 to 75KM/h in a 60 zone. Downhill or not, you sir are a fool!

Secondly, 85KM/H in a 40Zone!

The construction workers do not HAVE to be at the site for it to be a construction zone, even if it is 3AM on sunday morning!

your photo...and your car....I NEED NOT SAY ANY MORE

cheers fool

Well considering how much parts can cost in the 35gtr, the excess MIGHT not be as bad as you think.

I know how bad Vic is and there nothing you can do about it. If Just Car quote is that, I doubt theres anyone else that will beat it (other than Shannon IF you can get them).

SO lets see here, you can afford a cars thats $180k yet you dont wanna pay 5k a year for insurance, are you going to be able to pay for tyres, brake pads, trans fluid etc?

my guess is no you wont be able too, or is paying 600 dollars a tyre criminal too? so you will run around on $150 nankangs or somthing

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
