Will be interesting to see. I've been with RACV since i started driving and rating 1, so maybe i should try them for my new car.

Its a GTS-T and modified so probably not but it can't hurt to see what they say. I mean if they lost a 7 year customer in me because they won't insure an import, they'd have to think a bit.

Anybody tried an insurance broker? They basically ring around and do all the work for you for a nominal charge. They'd know how the insurance scene works so they might be able to get you a good deal that you might not be able to get by ringing around yourself.

I'm even thinking that why doesn't an insurance company come along and actually make you do an advanced driving test or check before they insure to give you lower premiums (or even just cover at all!). Do all this extra stuff for an import if they think they're so much more dangerous and harder to drive. I'd be willing to do all of that, and a weekend of testing/etc to get $500 less premium (or more) a year. I just wish they won't so corporate and set in their formulas and their ways.

I rang this lovely lady.. But unfortunately she can't match the price I'm paying at this point in time. Which is a bummer.

Plus she said they don't insure people under 20 but were going to squeeze me through if the quote was good.

It was about $1000 more than what I'm paying now. So I think I might just stay with Suncorp.

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
