haha didn't even realise, but was goin over the paperwork for the car, and I realised on the rego it said the car was a Nissan Maxima A31 :D hahaha

Now the good part is when I ring up to do the insurance for my dad, I'll go "yeah I need to insure a 1990 Nissan Maxima Sedan thanks". Sweet! I think the vehicle's VIN number sorta gives it away tho with the "6U900000" start.

What is your ceffy registered as...

Oh btw, just checked the numberplate CEF130 is available at VicRoads.

was at NRMA insurance and they had me as nissan cima. Because they had no other name for it on their options list.

I made NRMA add cefiro to their list of options. The chick had to ring up the IT department to get them to update their car list. I had to sit around for half hour while this was done.

Wouldn't it be their call? they put it in the system as that knowing it's not the car but the closest fit..

Billion $$$ insurance co. 'v' dude with smashed up ceff.

I know where my money is. Its the minions that put it in the computer, the little cubical people, not the people that give you the money. Stupid but if it came down to it, insurance would win.

Hmm, true - they would win.

Here me out though - In theory (In theory) the broker who sells you the policy has to get it underwritten, and the underwriters have to sign it off.

In that process everywhere the assumption is the information is correct - and your duty of disclosure is based on the notion of good faith - as such in "good faith" you've told them your car was a cefiro. You are NOT required to tell them things they are supposed to know in the normal course of their business, or things that lessen the risk to them. So you've told them it's a cefiro, they say it's classified as X.

Theoretically there are no schedules in the policy to say that if they decide to classify it as X, and it isn't they won't cover it (good faith applies both ways because they have duties of disclosure also).

But yes - I agree with you deveo I would have my money with you as we live in the realistic world and not the dream technical world.

P'raps you guys with misc classifications could get a schedule added to your policies to be sure?

I got my A31 officially green plated. Mine is a 90 model and didn't come in as 15 year old rule. I've had for about 3 years or so now.

On the compliance plate my car is called a Nissan Matthews A31. The guy who did the compliancing was Alan Matthews. Coincidence, I think not :D

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.

      By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
