I originally went with Suncorp, much to my surprise when i added the turbo they said that wouldnt affect the premium as i wasnt increasing the displacement (go figure).

I dont know if this is different these days, but one things for sure... there is no trickin the insurance companies... if there's a way of getting out of paying, be assured they WILL find it!

I’m with Justcar, don’t try and bullshit the insurance company…it just makes it easier not to pay you out in an accident.

I tell them everything...every minor thing on the car, and I’ve been happy with the excellent service. BTW I’m in the same boat as Crooser..my turbo did not increase the premium.

Didn't notice much of a difference in power (if at all) with the 3.25". Looks schmick and sounds great. A bit loud down low, but at cruise speed and idleing, can't even notice it.

Again, the exhaust is a bit bigger than I needed, but seeing as a turbo is coming soon, I opted for too big to save money down the track.

As for the insurance, insuring it in your dad's name is a waste of time. You don't earn any no-claim bonus for yourself, the excess also makes it a waste of time and can also give the insurance company a reason for not paying out too (i.e if you insure a WRX for example in your dad's name, they will not pay if a driver crashes that is under 25!!). Same could apply to your car. I got quote just under $4500 with 0% no claim, no mods and a speeding fine just recently through just cars

i only pay circ. $1800 p/a for fully comprehensive in WA, and i have no idea what just 3rd party fire and theft costs, i never asked. After all, how much is your baby worth ? if it was a 2 grand corrola then fine, but not the 'line !

pstanbis if my full comp was that much, sure i'd get it, but its quoted at over $4500 :|

yeah, fair enough....

$4500 - thats what i got quoted for a turbo ! i think you'll find it goes as much on car value as power - my mates 2001 pulsar costs him $2200 - but it cost him about 7 grand more than my skyline so thats where i got that idea from. Anyone else made the comparison?

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
