Would You Bother With Insurance?

Hey,

So i have had my r34 gtt for 5 years (currently 24, 25 in oct) and have been with JustCar for the entire time.. Every year i get in a discussion with them over 'agreed value' of which they massively drop each year to which has not been agreed or discussed.

Each year the car would be lucky if i put on more than 5000 KMs. It sits in my garage and comes out each weekend for a wash, and then goes back in the garage.

Is it worth forking out $1500-$1800 (with no accident history or claim history) each year because im under 25 for a car that sits in my garage and very rarely gets driven and won't get paid out an acceptable amount if something happened anyway?

I'm 26 and I had my r33 gtst insured at an agreed value of $11,000 and I was paying $1200 a year with $800 excess. My insurer was just car. You gotta call over the phone and speak like an innocent and mature guy to get good deals with these f**kers.

so i might jump 3rd party for this coming year and being 25 for next renewal will speak with shannons again.

I'm 24 (turning 25 next month), been with Shannons for 2-3 years now, and my car is insured for 28k and I pay roughly 1.5k a year. As Anthony said, call again lol

Don't know any companies who will do 3rd party property, fire and theft on an import.

Straight 3rd party property for sure, not the additional fire/theft.

But some ancient VR Commo or such, not a problem.

NRMA do.

Just car at least used to.

Take your car for a spin on the weekend → some arse hat rams into you. What happens then?

If you're prepared for that loss, then don't worry about full comp.

I was 25 when I got the insurance; my GT-R is insured for $15k with mods for a tickle over $1k p/a with LSV (limited use, garaged).

      I don't know if you can disassemble the thing and put it backwards for different ramp rates. They're both "2 ways" or both "1.5 ways" because well, 2 ways and 1.5 ways are the same 'thing' I do not know for sure, but I believe the 38420-RSS15-B5 is the 1 way, and 38420-RSS20-B5 is the two way. In other words, I predict Nissan considers this: to be a 1.5 way. No idea what actually happens when it arrives/you disassemble it. It would be an excellent question to ask Nismo directly! I somehow doubt you will get an answer though, I feel you would be the first person to document what you encounter when you open the box and the internet would be grateful.

      Well - they have arrived.  And they are easy on the eye to put it mildly... These only have three bolts - but for a start there is a key that fits with vacuum like precision..  And as you can see by my ruler, the interface is large..   I listened to a podcast on HP Academy about Dan (KiwiCNC) and I'm more than comfortable he knows what he is doing. R35 Bearing assembly should arrive later today so can mock that up for a look. Can't wait to get these on and get some brake pressure logging too. IMG_3860.MP4

      I would be very confident that they are the same parts (the 2 different SKUs). It seems very clear that you can drop the cam in the 2-way opening, or in the other opening. If you arrange it in the other opening in the same way that you see any other 1-way diff, ie, with the flat of the cam up against the 1° side of the opening, then it would work as a 1-way. It can only spread the ramps when driving forwards - cannot spread the ramps on overrun. It would then appear obvious that if you put the cam into the opening "backwards", that you would get the angled flats of the cam working onto the "points" of the 1° side of the opening, which would give you ramp spread in both loading directions. I do wonder if the forward direction of the 1.5-way config is equivalent to the forward direction of the 2-way, seeing as the cams are flipped and the angled surfaces on those would need to be the same on each side - AND - clearly when installed in either the 2-way or 1-1ay configuration they are not intended to work exactly the same (the ramp angles on the 2-way are 10° different between forward and backward, and the ramp doesn't exist in the 1-way config). 'twere me, I think I would rather actually have a set of rings that offered the 2-way with two different sets of ramp angles, say the 55/45 of the existing design and maybe a 45/37.5 combo for a less aggressive effect), AND another set of rings with a dedicated 1.5-way opening and a dedicated 1-way opening. The 1.5-way opening would actually have the steeper angle on the overdrive side that causes it to be less pushy than the forward drive angle, like you see in many other diffs. But really - if this Nismo thing is thought out properly and all those surfaces work on each other the way that they need to, who am I to argue?
