Hmmm interesting... That'll definitely be the go for the R32 when I find one... Seeing that the only road time it'll be seeing is to and from the track and the odd cruise, comprehensive insurance is overkill.

shannons insure my r32 gtr, its on the super light use policy.... not more than 4000ks a year. only 800 notes though.

if i do more than 4000ks, it jumps up $300 to 8000ks. then a few more hundred if more than 8000 to unlimited ks.

perfect for me.

Im with Just cars, in Melbourne, R32 gtst, 22yo, lightly modded, rating 2 and i pay $1200 a year for an agreed value of $16000.

I am so glad i dont live in Sydney.

In Vic we have CTP like in NSW but do dont have a choice who you go with, its all included in the price of rego. (thats why rego is like $550 in here).

who would be a good insurer to go with.

mind you i'm mainly going to be usiing the car for track racing and a bit of weekend driving.

and i also know that many insurance will not cover for the track..

i is also got a bucket load of mods,

i sent a quote off to just cars.

also i am 22..

i'd probably want the car insured for say 30k

32 gtr

Wouldnt drive my cars unless they were covered by full comp, the GTR cost me 3200PA and i was 18, the GTS with the V8 now costs me 1600PA, no i cant afford to insure both thats y only one is on the road at one time and while the other one is off the road it is chained to the garage floor until one of them sells.

Thats with just cars by the way, they said under normal circumstances they would not have touched an 18yo with a 33 vspec but because i had the gts since i was 16 and had not made a claim with them they would insure me.

I'm not sure if just cars will do an agreed value on older cars.  I really had to argue with them for my 97 model line.  From my experiences (fairly limited) just cars have been the best and the cheapest.

They did it on my 92 gtst... Famous couldnt match just cars in my case

  • 4 weeks later...

im 23yrs old and just car was about $1100 including all mods, but then again i have a 4-door r34 gtt which is classed as a family car, my previous NA JZA80 insurance was $1300. All rating one and comprehensive. My brother is a rating 3 or 4 and hes s15 costs him about $2000 from 'young and cool'.

Fully comp..... A car worth more than 10k or so then fully comp....

My 4x4 us a little shitty and worth about 20 bucks so i just got third party fire and theft on it as its $150 bucks a year. Never know might come back to the car after fishing and it may not be there so $5k coverage for 150bucks with a 600dollar excess on it. Thats a bargin to me. The skyline on the other hand is 1400 bucks with a 2400 excess but she is insured for 30k. I understand the high risk, i do drive very safe. But im more scared of it being stolen than anything else.

So i answered fully comp as the line is my daily car.

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
