Unfortunate side effect of performance vehicles is an empty wallet/bank account. i can tell you that the insurance was higher for me in my '98 non-turbo R34 2-door... and don't even start on the GTR.

The way i justify it to myself is that if it is expensive, it means that the people who are driving are actually committed to their cars and hopefully the high costs will keep the idiots away. After all, driving a nice car is a privilege not a right.

No quibbling with Marc.

On occasions though, you can get a quote from a competitive company (eg with Lumleys SV if you're with Just Car) and ask if you can maintain a Sum Insured that's similar to your current $20K.

It may be of benefit to get a quote one year with B if you're with A. Then if you insure with B, the following year get a quote from A again. Sometimes there can be a pleasant surprise (as if that's possible from an insurance co)

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
