Also interested in the GPS tracker, there is another thread but I cannot remember the name ?

Try NRMA vintage insurance if it is not a daily ride and you have another car to use for everything else.

They had it you can drive it 10 times a month and  in a garage but it seems they could change their policy at anytime. Great deal if you can get it

Old style GPS trackers required a subscription to a tracking service but the new ones will phone your own phone directly. Then all you need is a sim card in it. Google to get excessive amounts of info.

Hi guys,

Looking for your feedback on GPS trackers. Who here uses one and what are the costs associated? Any feedback here is appreciated.

And who do you guys insure your car with? Most insurers will only insure my GTR R32 for 22k max or charge an arm and a leg for an agreed value...

Thanks!

 

If you're located in Melbourne I recommend CARZON. www.carzon.com.au.

They install custom alarm systems and also GPS tracking systems with an App where you can log in and see where your car is 24/7, also how fast its going and where it's been for up to 6mths. I got an alarm and GPS for $500. GPS costs $15 per month. 

If NRMA are anything like RACV if you crash your car they will only quote/assess your car based on NEW PARTS ONLY. In my case they wrote my car off as an economical write off because they only quote installing new parts. But they pay out within a week and  they allowed me to buy my wreck back.

Thanks for the help guys.

Anyone with recommendations on an insurer? I need someone who can insure at an agreed value and not charge an arm n leg.

As Nismo 3.2ish says, NRMA Vintage Veteran and Classic is the most reasonable these days (with conditions). 

One GTR is insured for 143K agreed value. Premium is  $1,200pa

    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
