$10,400 cover on my car with just car insur. Unfortunately it's $2000 excess lawl. $1,400pa

Whoa $1,400p.a on a $10,400 car.

Insured for about $18K and pay about $700 for full comp over here with just cars. Your area that bad lol?

Pay $300 bucks for skyline 10k if it's stolen.. Third party of course

But really insurance on an import is almost pointless especially if it's modified they could find 100 reasons not to pay out on half our cars

Yeah I got 3rd party just wanted to check how much full is. Just car has standard excess + vehicle excess + age excess. totals to $1950 excess

I'm sure I would get cheaper if I called up and used my 3rd party history with them. Was just a random online quote.

Give it a shot tony, would be interesting to see if they quote the same.

Another advantage to the third party is the significantly lower excess than you were quoted with full comp. If you have some sort of pissy love tap that hardly damages your vehicle, but leaves you with a grand of damage to the other vehicle, it won't be worth claiming under full comp, but might be under third party.

Telemarketer: Hello can I speak to the business owner

Me: Speaking...

Telemarketer: Hello sir I am from Telstra, the reason I am calling is because I want to save you money on your monthly phone account

Me: I don't have a phone

Telemarketer: *silence*

Telemarketer: How am I speaking with you right now?

Me: GET OUT OF MY HEAD

No that's because you sent me a message while I was watching Falling Down, and no one interupts me while I'm watching that. Then I forgot about it. I'm away this weekend, if you can wait til Friday week we'll head to CQ?

For sure, it's been too long. Good chance to build some more rapport in the meantime

Who you gettin to do turbo install? Rob?

OTR...they've done a couple of HG turbos and work on Tao's car so should be familiar with fittings etc.

Then I'll drive it to RevZone for some tuning.

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
