They look like GTR rims :P

Welcome Afro.

I suggest you try the normal ones. Depending on age, you can try Suncorp (if you are over 25) or Famous Classic Car Insurance. They kinda do deals for SAU people. Theres a thread on here about them. Just search for Famous Classic.

Or Just Cars... Young and Cool. Most of them charge through the nose. But it depends on how much you want you car insured for as to whether you want to pay the premiums.

Hey AFRO,

beautiful car mate, as you can see from my avatar, it's the car i want, but unfortunately my budget couldn't stretch to a 2000 model (year Nissan started producing TV2 GT-T's) so i've just bought myself a 1998 Black R34 (but most prob get full respray to TV2 as there are a SHITELOAD of black R34's in Melb! :P :P)

I rang Just Cars, they quoted me $2467 - 20 yrs old, no bad history at all (touch wood), rating 4. Unfortunately no monthly payments.

And for those wondering about the rims, there are a few differences between SI and SII R34's.

Interior: Two tone (whitish, kinda more cream, and normal black colour) steering wheel and gear knob.

Exterior: Different front bar (altho AFRO's is an Altia item) Darker rims, more GTR colour.

Engine: More torque, not sure exactly how much, bout 20nm prob.

Differential: Helical as compared to Viscous from the SI

I think that's about it.

Congrats on the car mate, and that is an AWESOME price too! Wish that car was advertised more widely, i would have definitely be contesting you for it!

cheers.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
