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

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
