yep, drive careful. That's the plan....i only drive like....5 times a week and those 5 trips are all the same, 6 min trips, in suburbs. And sometimes to the golf course. I know i'll be driving heaps more, but that's basically wat i do, so i thought for that sort of driving i should be ok.

Oh yeah my bad. I forgot you said "fire and theft", so forget my comments about the theft bit.

But I am still pretty sure if you park it and come back and it has damage, there's nothing you can do about it.

I was very strongly considering just getting 3rd party f&t but I just wanted the cover of comp.

i think fire and theft doesn't cover the total value of the car ... eg just cars does fire and theft but that is only covered for up to something like 4k value of the car .. so if u have a 20k skyline and it gets stolen.. then u only get back 4k minus the excess ... i'm pretty sure thats correct.

Hey,

I have never got 3rd party fire and theft - only 3rd party.

I think my greenslip is with GIO - but it's currently for a Pulsar, not a Skyline. When I get my Skyline, the dealership will deal with the first years 3rd party.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

croat i think ur getting confused with third party INJURY insurance again.

you have third party injury insurance (green slip), you need that to get ur rego.

you dont have any other insurance :D

and by the way, you cannot any longer get third party fire and theft insurance on turbos, they stopped doing it because people kept doing insurance jobs coz it was so cheap to do :)

don't know about NSW xcuzme, but in Vic, Just Cars, 18 yr old, 7 months of insurance hist, R33 GTS-t, Third Pary F + T, $638

Full comp, $4712. Which isn't too bad considering age and car.

But Vic, Third Party, is still fine for turbos, must be different in NSW.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
