Ahh, rare model and theft history, unlucky!

 

 

Well, i still think i'm lucky just to have it. :)
I just love looking at it in my yard. I still can't believe this car from Gran Turismo is here with me in the metal. 

Latest word is that the Portfolio Manager's directive is this...
* Nissans and Datsuns prior to 1989 can be covered
* ADM GT-Rs (with proof supplied) can be covered
* JDM GT-Rs from 1989 onwards will not be covered - with no mention of renewals being continued or culled.
 

Sorry guys, but a few bad apples have spoilt the good ones.

I received my renewal in the mail for my R32 GTR. I was actually a bit nervous considering what you guys said about the increases, but I opened it up and it had barely increased from last year. Still <$600 for the full year and $45k agreed value. Now I'm unsure whether or not to try and increase the value and open their eyes to a possible non-increase/mistake from their side of things or just pay it and be done with it for another year.

Yes, if you are happy with $45k I'd just pay it and move on. You won't get an increase in the premium.

If that's what you want then speak to one of the other insurers but be prepared to pay a heap more.

Is this happening at a certain date or just when our current policies run out?

I think our excitement at getting insurance at a reasonable price and talking about it was our undoing :unhappy:

unfortunately this community still has a bunch of shitflamin mongrels that will ruin it for all of us. As the values go up, the shitflamin mongrel % goes down.

^ Disagree, you just attract a different breed of flamin mongrel. 

Actually, most of the bigger assholes I know have money behind them. 

Drug money you mean ?

No, just well off, they may have worked hard for it, they may have had it handed to them, but money does have a tendency of bringing out the asshole in some people.

If I know people who have drug money, I'm not aware of it, I don't tend to run in those circles like Milan ;)

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
