I've got a quote for transport (shipping) insurance for the R32 GTR that I'm bringing over.

2.5% of the value with an XS of $500 (exlcudes any rust, oxidisation or discolouration). Cover is from Port to Port.

I'm trying to weigh up the risks of this insurance - anyone had bad damage done during transit?

BTW - The car is stock with no aftermarket "goodies"

HEy,

Mate get insurance trust me... with all the problems and stuff you can run into with importing.. the last thing you need is a damaged car which is not covered by insurance.. if you dont have insurance the 2 weeks or so (time taken to ship it over) will be the longest 2 weeks of ur life.. just worrying and stuff..

i just had mine imported and they stole the gearknob and the radio... not sure what i could do about it.. but apparently not much can be done about it.

hey..

yeah i have before and after pictures but i picked up my car last week... so would it be too late... to claim for insurance???

what do i need to do??? that sux about ur mate i know how he feels.. the bastards left the user manual in for the stereo in my car as well prolly just to rub it in.. at least they took it out neatly without breaking anything...

Hey how did ur mate go? did he get all his stuff back??? what did he do??? i want to claim mine now but i got told not to bother....

its depressing when you look at ur new car and think hell yeah.. then u look at the big hole where the stezza used to be and its damn depressing.... let me know how ur mate goes.. be good to hear that someone got their stuff back...

is it too late for me to claim?

      Belt flex under throttle

      By drifter17a · Posted

      Hi all, I’ve just finished fitting the timing belt on my RB25, following the standard procedure: rotate the crank twice, release the tensioner, then tighten it down. The belt feels tight, and you can see that clearly in the picture below I’ve heard some people say it’s actually better for the belt to be slightly loose rather than too tight, as excessive tension can lead to snapping. So that’s in the back of my mind. What I’m seeing is this:  • At idle, the belt looks fine.  • But when cranking and especially when revving (around 3–4,000 RPM), there’s a momentary flap/flex or flicker in the belt, which I’ve tried to capture in the video. So my question is — based on what you see, is this slight belt movement something you’d consider normal, or am I just being OCD? Could this amount of movement cause sync issues? Or is it just a harmless bit of flex under load?   from what I know belt flap and flex is expected when crank spins up and pull cam with it Would appreciate any thoughts or similar experiences.     IMG_7656.mov IMG_7657.mov

      I've replaced the front brakes of my NA to 324 brembos and 350z calipers: i'm going for 225/40-18 up front and 245/35-18 in the back. I have Rays 7.5*19 ET35(225/35) in the front with 5mm spacers otherwise the calipers "lock up/ won't rotate". When i use the calculator i come up with 8*18 ET30 for 225/40...... but not sure i get problems with the calipers. Anyone riding around with 18 inch. that can confirm "that it'll fit"? In the back it's 7.5*9 ET30 (245/30) with the 5mm spacers, but there is no problem with the standard small brakes, so i want to take 8.5*18 ET25 (245/35).

      Glad to hear. If possible, get your tuner to check air's to make sure everything is still where it should be.

      The problem with FB/Insta/Reddit etc comments relating to cars is simple. You get to ask a question once, and get one round of replies. For things that can actually be answered in a few lines of text, once, it's fine. After 6 hours, your original question is lost to the void. There are no follow ups, additional questions, anything. No project car is ever such a simple list of questions to ask. You need discussion.
