I just filled in the form for an online quote for a gst-t and they replied by saying that cover for the gts-t is under review due to "lack of available parts" , and weren't allowed to give any quotes untila decision is made.

what a crock of shit

there's only one reason why its under review, and we all know lack of available parts is not the reason

they should at least come clean and say why they really don't want to insure them

damn media influce, irresponsible drivers, and theives -> least he's goin to jail:D

Give em a call or see them face to face, myself aswell as many others have RAC insurance. Thats one advantage of the net.... you can post stuff up like that and not have to worry about taking abuse from a potential client!!!

If still no then go to your local RAC and if they say the same kick up a bit of a stink....

At least this way you have tried and not just let it be.

I'm with RAC too and recently moved house, they said my new place has reduced my premium YAY! by a whopping $55 (from 2200/year to 2150/year) big hairy deal.

The problem is they sent me the papers confirming the new premium and it says "1992 NISSAN SYLINE GTR COUPE 6 CYLINDER, 2500cc" but I told 'em it was a '93 GTST.

Now I'm dreading calling 'em up to correct this incase they say "Oh, I'm sorry we don't insure GTSTs anymore". BASTARDS!

Do you think they'll refuse a claim (god forbid I need to make one) if the policy states an R32 GTR when I actually have an R33 GTST?

Calling them to get a positive result on the insurance probably wont help. I am insured with them, and when I rang with a general question about my policy they told me that when my policy comes up for renewal - they wont run with it anymore - too expensive they said.:confused: Time to start looking elsewhere

100 percent correct there dude! I think a lot of us Gtst owners were insured as 32 GTR's, so quite a few of us had to change with no hassles. better off changing coz they do ANYTHING to get out of paying you if something goes wrong!!

If you wanna see em pack there dacks do what i did!

Me "Hi I'm interested in insuring a GTR/Supra here is my client number......."

RAC "Oh yes Daniel i have your details here, is that supra you want to buy a turbo or non turbo?"

Me: "Supra will be twin turbo "

RAC: "We don't insure twin turbo's we have a strict policy BLAH BLAH BLAH"

Me: " THEN WHY HAVE YOU INSURED ME AS A GTR TWIN TURBO!"

RAC " Oh Ummm AAhhh Yes Sir, it seems there was an operator error when putting it in, I will correct it for you straight away sir"

Me "Hmmm strict policy?"

RAC "terribly sorry our apologies"

ehehe always good for a laugh!

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
