well, depends on whether you're legally allowed to drive it....?

have a search of the forum there is a thread about insurance (many) i'm sure you'll find options there. Justcar, NRMA etc.

Just Cars is about your only option while on your P's, but trust me, you don't want to claim with them. As soon as you are able, switch over to Shannon's. They are much better.

I had a minor accident in my R34 while I was insured with Just Cars. I rear ended someone who decided for no apparent reason to just stop on the highway. It wasn't a big impact, so the front bumper, headlights and a few bits and pieces needed to be replaced. I didn't get a choice of repairer and the guys I was forced to go with didn't even know what kind of car it was. It was taking so long that I ended up going to see the repairer and my car had been sitting there untouched collecting dust as they didn't know where to get parts for it. I ended up ordering the parts myself for the repairs. It took just over six months to get my car back when it should have taken a max of four weeks and that was only due to delivery times.

On top of that, the paint job they did on the front bumper was that bad that it had drip marks on it and within three weeks of getting the car back, the one side of the front bumper came loose and I had to refit it myself.

All I'm saying is, you don't really have a choice, but if you do have to claim, push as hard as you can to pick your own repairer and don't get quotes from anyone till you have done a background check.

Congrats on your purchase. Since you're probably 17 or 18, then that sounds reasonable for that model of car. Yes Full Comp covers theft, however there may be an additional excess fee depending on the insurer.

I had to make a claim with Just Car when someone pulled out in front of me and hit the LHF of my old 34. All went through quite smoothly with the car repaired at D & T Panel here in Osborne Park. No problems what so ever.

After our 34 being hit by an old lady exactly 6 weeks ago, the cheque finally got transferred into our account today, Just Car are so shit to deal with, we had to call them constantly to get updates, the most help we got was from the Admin girl at the Smash Repairers, won't be using them again, going to Shannons for sure, having a pile of friends working there will help any future claims if I need to!

      R34 Handbrake light saying ON and intermittently flashing

      Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.

      Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.

      The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
