putting under BOTH yours and your parents names, and they dont care or even want to know what % each person drives.......and that means either you or parents can crash it(touch wood) and still be cool

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.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
