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

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
