$1300 for the car for me if i crash and $2100 if its stolen.

Yeah the excess is broken down into like:

$300 WA State something or rather.

$300 Under 25 Age excess.

$700 compulsory.

Then if its stolen

$400 on the mags and wheels and $400 on something else.

Famous Cars is about $1200 excess but i'm saving $1200 in insurance premium so its worth it.

whats the excess from just car though?

This thread is psycho! I guess it ended up with a purpose after all since i have learnt alot about insurance costs.. im only insured 3rd Party Fire and Theft, since it is an R31 after all, costs me $660 with a maximum value on my car of 5K... which would be a pisser since i reckon the cars worth at least 8 :P..

Brent.

OMG guys. Put yourselves in his shoes.

0.042 for a BAC isn't a crime in my eyes, hell 0.05 -> 0.08 isn't a crime in my eyes....but nevertheless, it's the law.

Remember not so long ago (okay, you know you're old when you can remember this...) when the limit was 0.08, and there was no P-plater limit?

Had he of blown 0.042 then none of you would have been on his back about it!

So give or take 10 years of law changes and this makes him a bad person? Get a freakin' grip.

back on topic: Nice car dude, looks pretty stock! Bring on the mods I say!

P.S. You're 23 and _just_ got your license? Are you like a sped or somethin? Hell.... that's 6 years of lost driving! *sigh*

Yeah but the only place i saw selling 4dr skylines was at the autoworks in welshpool or somewhere and they cost just as much as my 2dr.

I know the power thing is the same etc but i wanted a 2dr.

BUt still this is 1/4 what i was quoted at RAC, $4800 full comp so anything below is better.

See that's why I bought a 4 door 860 odd buck full comp and $500 age excess if my gf prangs it. ;)

i'm sure everyone in this thread will agree that your stupidity is unequaled in here.

You are trying to dump off an arrogance that you haven't had your day in court yet for DD. Well we'll all laugh the harder when they finally come after you.

And the rest of us will be even more pissed with you cause you'll just give more ammo to the biased justice system when they see another young fool in a fast car who DDs.

Thanks for being the idiotic minority that screws over the rest of us.

tdawg,

Bad luck, i am also on my P's and drive a skyline when doing my L's i had a lady how teach a person who got done for DD 3times and he only had 1 drink each time.

And if your on your P's i belived u have to take the Phase 2 Test again and do 30hrs before u can get your P's which suck big time :) back luck once again.

By the sounds of it u have learnt from your mistakes, dw about another people on the fourm some of them dont have an open pov, if u had only had 1 or 2 drinks i can understand, i didnt know the P Limit was different to the normal limit and i read the drinking book etc etc (only found out when i was told by my driving lady)

so again hope everything turns out for the best and dont go screwing it up and driving the line without that paper

mike :headspin:

its been said before but ill say it again, there are some real **** wits in here. its hardly DD, its a technicality. he never wanted sympathy, he never abused the police, he was just saying it sucked coz hes lost his license for 3 months right when he got his sweet new car, which was the reason for the post.

and no JXL not everyone agrees with you. i saw no arrogance in his comment and i see no evidence that he is the "idiotic minority."

    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
