I'm thinking of going onto a low usage insurance policy, as in the last year I've just done 8000kms...

So, for those of you who use their car for daily purposes or weekend warriors, how many kays do you do a year?

You can use the poll if you'd like

:cheers:

When i used 2 drive my Skyline 2 work everyday i was racking up about 15,000kms per year.

Now i drive my shitbox 2 work most days & keep the liner mainly 4 weekend & short trips during the week & occasionally 2 work.

I am now on an 8,000kms per year policy ($90 something per month, can't complain) so i should be pretty safe with this, not 2 mention less wear & tear etc. also.

the skyline is our only car, so we rack up a few kays in it;

got it 67k, up to 105 now and ive had it for just two years :(

saddens me to see so many ks going on, but on the flip side, i get to drive it heaps, so im happy as well

25000kays in 6 months i am the winner (so Far)

I did 8000kay in just under 3 months :kick:

I guess it would depend how many kays you drive each week.. No idea if you take the skyline out on the weekends, and do the "hey look at me" posing laps ect. I was surprised at how many kays I was doing just driving around on the weekend.

i am a whore and so's my car :wassup:

Hey Ronin 09,

I was thinking the same thing. Ihave had my line 4 over a year and have only done just over 6000km.  

Which insurance company were you looking at going with???

I got a quote from famous 4 $2000 for this kind of classic cover.

Brendan

hey brendan, what rating are you?

Shannons want about 2100 for rating one 8000km/year

:)

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
