You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

wxactly what i was saying....

that mazda prob pays about 1500-2k aus insurance a year, expect that to treble next year.... hahahahahahaha

Is your insurance premium also based on previous accident costs as well? Didn't know that

So if I got into an accident with a ferrari tomorrow and was at fault, my premium would go up shit loads?

I know you premium goes up when you make at fault claims but didn't know it's also based on the $$ value of the claims

you declare you have a claim,

they will look at claim history, see it cost half a million quid and laugh at him...

i dont know if its tied together, but i should imagine his insurance will go up more substantially for writing a lambo of than say a mini...

No care if the lambo was speeding

Its as if the Mazda didn't look, and still kept going when the lambo was close

Mazda at fault

On a street lined with cars, the lambo is crazy low... If it was coming fast (it was) then even if that the mazda did look, but couldn't see any cars coming in the immediate area...

Lets say he could see 50m of clear space on the road he was turning onto, and couldn't see any other cars around because the lambo was low and far back, if the lambo was travelling at 50kph it would take a min of 4 seconds before it reached the mazda. In a 50 zone, that is more than enough to be considered a safe gap.

Also, with an accident like that you don't get airborne at only 50, or 80 ;)

Well it's definately a percentage game... My insurance jumped by $60 this year which was only 3%, acceptable. But if my mums insurance jumped by $60 then I'd be saying why the hell is is 15% more when the car is now worth less?

Called up Shannons yesterday actually to fix a few things on my policy... including my listed mods being Bilestine Suspension, Walpro Fuel Pump and a Power Sc...

I called them up when referencing a quote and asked to alter some listed mods and they said they didnt care. ie if listed you have coilovers, they dont care if brand changes etc.

Did they mind about having bilsteins? (thought you always had them...)

Was more the typos that the guy made when I first listed off the mods, BILE STINE

Na, they don't care... I altered the Bilstein Shocks on the policy to now be Shockworks Coilovers, zero change to the premium, was just keeping the records up to date...

If you're on agreed value, once you hit a certain number of mods the car goes into the "Modified" bracket, and small changes/additions don't alter the premium or excess or anything.

Yesterday I got rammed from behind by a guy in a Lancer, then we exchanged numbers :turned:

But on a serious note, he has no insurance and cannot speak very good English (been in the country only ten months). Luckily my insurance said they will wave my excess if I take down his details - also, since I'm not at fault, it will not affect my premium or rating :D

Still a pain in the arse having no car for a while.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
