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...

It's fair enough, and tbh I reserve the right to mock those in the field of internet marketing, lol. I'd respect the lucky kid more.

QBE are pretty good. I used my dealer finance guru to twist their arms. Buying the car from him gave him the motivation and incentive to swindle the best deal for me. I bascially handed him $30,000 deposit cash and said I'm not buying this car unless you get me such and such insurance set up. He knew someone who knew someone who could make the impossible happen. Leverage...use it :D

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.

DANGER DANGER!!! Go with AAMI if you have a 1980 VB commodore not a GTR!! Of course if you don't mind repairs consisting of chewing gum, sticky tape and finger paint then AAMI is just right for you!

Best I could get was $2200 with AAMI with $2100 excess....that was yesterday. Today I called to actually take out a policy and the computer comes up with $2840 with $2100 excess. :down: ...should have locked in the $2200 yesterday.

Still the best deal I could get though.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
