want...might have to ebay a kidney.

Actually, i saw that on ebay last year or earlier this year, so id say its been for sale for a while. A bit like that n1 shell that pops up for sale every so often.

Yes been for sale for over a year, they dont seem to want to drop the price so may sit around for some time to come... Maybe Terry will snap it up if they drop the price for a track car :)

These old bones of mine aren't getting any younger > so "sitting" and "waiting" are dirty words around this house.

L'il Enzo doesn't have any spare stem cells does he? hehe...

I've been thinking of fatz' (er Jenna's) car actually; so you read my mind Brian.

$148,250 is justification to insure your own R34 GTR for a similar amount when it comes time to renewing your policy.

Sure, but the level of modification and history of the car obviously varies, and with that the value.

Depends on what kind of premium you want to pay- I never really understood the need to get the most insured value you can, because it just increases your premium. I understand being under insured insured is not good, however to pay more to the insurance company (for something that realistically to them carries very little risk) seems odd.

The point has been missed.

The Sum Insured can go quite high without the premium going up proportionately.

The insurance company actuary can look at premiums going up from his angle but...

when the amount of cover (sum insured) goes up at a much higher rate than the premium, it's worth it.

It's worth it even to a person who doesn't even nominate this type of car as his business car.

But it's worth it even more, when it is...

I've just changed my insurer (to Dawes); but even in the past year, with Lumleys-SV, my Sum Insured was $106,000 and the Premium including ancillary costs was less than $1,100. Now at this time, I'm prepared to pay a bit more than that for a rare car that's worth a whole lot more.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
