Will be picking up a 2010 R35 next week.

Who has the best deal for insurance?

Sensible driving record (2 small fines in the last 12 years)

38 years old

I got a pretty good quote from Just Cars yesterday:

$4900pa

21yrs

4yrs exp, no tickets

Excess is pretty high though at ~$9000

My old $40k merc cost me more than that! Almost $6k pa

I just moved to AAMI, previously with Suncorp

my policy now with AAMI is about $2000 premium and $1000 excess. This was similar to the deal I had with suncorp before they jacked it up to 10,000 this year so got a quote and renewed with AAMI.

to let you know how fickle things are though, Druzilla had the opposite experience with AAMI (see thread), go figure.

rich parents?

Pfff, quite the opposite buddy.. I come from a working class family. I didn't want to be another working class man so I built my own business from the ground up. Is there a problem with reaping a few rewards from my hard work? I take offence when people make assumptions like this :P

You obviously don't follow your own advice as shown in your signature!

Haha! With 40,000+ posts, this guy needs to learn how to do it more often.

I had a sneaking suspicion you were an IMer after seeing the ads on your godzilla site. I steer well clear of clickbank products these days.

Send us a PM with what you have in mind.

Lol why so defensive?

Congratulations to you for doing so well at just 21. You must be very proud of your achievements.

They all do that. It's dumb because it makes customers mad; but it's free money for them if a customer just pays up.

I got jack of it with GIO last year and rang them. Told them that I did not want to do the ring around to get the price I wanted; and that if they forced me to do the ring around I would not be coming back any time soon.

Turns out coverage was available, and for the exact same price as the previous year (yeah, I know, it should probably have been slightly less). Go figure.

Cheers,

You take offence when people assume the norm? Most 21 year olds with 100k+ cars do have wealthy parents. He had a question mark at the end of his sentence, not an exclamation mark...

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
