Im really starting to think about purchasing a skyline most likely a r33 gts-t or gts.

I just need help on how much the insurance would cost BECAUSE im only 18 and had my licence for only 6 months?

And do most skyline owners have comprehensive insurance (for obvisous reasons)? or just third party ?

theres are several insurance threads

do a search

you may find insurance maybe quite high due to you only being 18 with a skyline

however, try "famous insurance", i got a freak premium which is very very low

0%, SYD, GTT .. under $2.7k prem + other standard costs

i had a skyline when i was 18 and on red Ps and had no problem with police or killing myself. It was actually my second car.

i just got a tracking alarm, and third party property for $660 from just cars.

if you want one and have the $$ get it just be careful anything can pop out on the road in front of you (including police)

its best to take part in a defensive driving course, which is usually an eye opener for an inexperienced driver.

i dislike the 'adults' thats whinge like a little girl about this kiind of thing, they watch the news too much...

i would say their whinging is pretty reasonable.

if i was older and say had a family i sure as hell would complain about p platers. and more importantly the government which is the source of all these p plater problems.

imagine the worry every time u let a family member borrow a car when u know they have a statistically high chance of getting wiped out.

(i am a p plater.)

Can people PLEASE stop blaming the government. Blame no one, accidents happen, no ones a "perfect" driver hence why there are speed limits so people can drive more in control but so there is less chance of crashing

Why do you think the RTA brought in the P2's ? So people who drove stupid would lose their license as they still did not have 12 demerit points for another 2 years.

I am 18 and yes I love my cars, I am totally opposed to banning high-powered vehicles for slightly younger drivers. There's idiots on the road, statistics don't lie. A large majority of people are under 25 (particularly male) are at least THREE times more likely to crash. Im not saying P-platers are idiots, but the stereotypical person see's a P plater accident and claims they should all have more experience. Therefore, all P-platers get slapped hard for insurance because of the stereotypes.

This then leads to insurance companies having to play the probably game with people under 25 who haven't driven much especialy high powered cars.

A mate of mine is an idiot when it comes to driving, he consistently drives out of his limits in shit cars and in the last year has written off two cars. He still has not learnt his lesson but nags his mates who own rotaries and turbo'd cars to be able to drive them. They say no funnily enough.

imperium, I know you may think your the best driver but we are all improving the more we drive. I don't know whether you have your CAMS or anything so I'm not bashing your driving skills but honestly, do an advanced driving course if you are serious about wanting a turbo'd car. They're only $300, it may save you and even your mates life one day.

Good luck with finding your new car, as for insurance I would stronly recommend Just Cars 3rd Party Fire and Theft - However the payout for theft is weak (about 1/3 of actual car's value

Yeah i was definately going to go on the advanced driving courses, do u use your own car with them or the companies ?

Yeah i know im not the best driver in the world but reading some thread (like the EVLR34 thread) has really opened my eyes when driving over the speed limit etc. All i can say is im a sensible driver... thx leb and everyone else for the advice.

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
