Confirmation with Just Car over the phone told me that if you are not legally driving the car you have no cover what so ever. Third Party and Comprehensive is void.....

Just like i thought. I would just buy a shitter and drive that for 6 months till you get you license. You will have a true apprecaition of your new car then ;) . Dont risk damaging your financial record for life by driving it.

easiest thing to do is apply for an exemption at the RTA you will need to write a compelling letter showing you looked on the site and called RTA and was told is not on the list but later found out that it was on the list so the RTA was the cause you were miss informed and now cannot sell the car as you would be at a great financial loss and the car is also used as a family car by your parents

this should be enough grounds for you to get an exemption

worst that can happen they refuse you one and you have to go with the little 500 banger till your on full license

don't think they'll buy that reason. The RTA ruling is pretty clear on that ..if it's registered under his name, then it will not be considered a family car. It has to be registered under either parent, then u can argue that it's the sole family car and that he's applying for exemption to be allowed to drive the car.

Garage the V35, and go buy a $500 shitter to drive legally in the meantime: at least that way if someting does happen, you only wreck a crappy car with no insurance, rather than a $26k car with no valid insurance.

Agreed.

no sense in driving around with out insurance for you and other drivers.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
