Seems to be going downhill from here :)

Call Famous Class Car Insurance 1300 886 029, they are in WA.

They quoted me $3299/yr for comprehensive. I have no idea how reputable they are, but I am strongly considering them because they are a lot cheaper than other places.

Also, a few other places:

Will Suncorp do insurance in WA before I waste 10 minutes of my life on hold ?

Suncorp will nearly allways answer the phone in about 20 seconds...never ever had a problem. And i have a few other insurances through them.

0% rating 6, you will go to rating 7 after a claim and about the only people who will touch you is Just Cars for a price(experienced it myself). If you currently have insurance through some other place that is cheaper than Just Cars, don't let your insurance lapse as they won't take you back until on rating 6 again (1 year, experience again). But if you just renew the policy at rating 7 they (usually) won't decline insurance.

I tried Shannons. They said they only insure "collector or vintage cars" or if you belong to a club of some sorts (the group of guys down the carpark doesn't count unless fully incorporated). They have indicated if you are in a club they were not likely to insure you for everyday driving, only weekend club events.

But this was a little while ago, it may be different.

I'm not sure who I am with, it's a deal my father got through a broker, but he's paying around $900 for his 2 door STI and I'm paying about $850 for my R33 GTST and I'm 26, so looking what other guys are paying, I must have a good deal!

What broker?!?!?! :)

ive found that the best option is to (as soon as you get your drivers licence) put your name on your parents insurance policy as a 5% time driver. i probably only drove my parents cars about once a year.

anyway.. the point is it that my name being on their policy counts towards my NCB. so i have a 55 or 60% NCB (cant remember which one it is)... but ive been quoted something like $875 pa. for first party insurance.

i should point out that the figure includes that the car must be garaged at night and i do live in a safer than normal suburb for which i was told decreased the figure by heaps! thank god coz im so rediculously low on cash atm... haha.. but then again i will be the coolest looking guy who cant even afford to buy his lunch.. hehhee:D priorities? 1)skyline 2) eating

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
