hey,

A few days ago i got my letter from JUST-CAR, saying it was that time on the year to pay for another year of insurance :) now i am currently 17 own an r33 gts-t am 1st driver with my oldman as teh second driver, car has bodykit, exhuast, music system and rims coverd.

Now my 3rd party + fired and theif a year ago was $700 now it has drop to $534

which is a pretty good amount so i rang up to get some info on full cover.

I was amazed that it had drop from around $4100 to $2355, which is a pretty large amount in my books (i now have a rating 5)

So all you young drivers out there just wait a year or two and im sure full cover will come into line and not cost u ur left arm

Michael :)

Sounds good.

I have a feeling that prices will drop further in Sydney (or "should") over the next 12-18mths as the Gov brings in the new P-Plate rules (no v8, supercharged or turbocharged cars for the P1-Platers).

Stevie, i have been with Just car for just over a year now (about a 1year and a few days :))

and like i said im only 17 :) im not sure what a rating 5 is, maybe it got something to do with my no claim bonus (the guy just memtion it to me over the phone)

I live in perth, so maybe its different for another state :S

WHAT!!! I'm paying 4100 with another major insurance company, im 19 with a '33 GTST SII. Whats this "rating 5"? How long have you been insured 4? Im going to make some phone calls if this price drop includes someone like myself!

do you realise that you will have paid off your car in insurance in 4 years?

i seriously couldn't bring myself to pay that much, i'd rather be careful about where i park it and not drive like a tool.

what insurance company is it?

They won't.. in Victoria they still insured you even though you were not elligible to drive the vehicle.. even paid out claims. They just want the money.

Premiums are so high in sydney because of theft mainly..

I would hate to see myself paying that much money in insurance too...

Thats why I egt it through the company I work for and only pay $550 a year :wassup: ... Any Car I own (which soon will probably be Twin Turbo) So am very pleased.. ;)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
