The last hurdle

Hey folks,

Had a night-before episode today. Car pickup was tomorrow, was waiting on GIO to give me a letter saying my NCB so I could organise comprehensive insurance for tomorrow.

Letter and fax were pending but neither arrived. Gave a call, and they are like "sorry you don't have a no claim bonus" and I'm like WTF?!?!.

They told me I had a 20% NCB a few weeks ago, and the guy elaborated it's just an "internal" NCB because I am not the policy holder on my Pulsar policy (my parents are). So I'm like can't you just say "Tim's internal NCB is 20%"?? And he was like no, I can just say who the policy is with and you are a named driver with no claims.

F$#K! I thought. Anyway I said fine, please fax it asap. I faxed it onto Famous Classic along with my application, picture of car and covering letter. Tommy accepted it! I was so happy. So even though I was just a named driver, because I had no claims they accepted that and I got my 20% NCB via Famous Classic.

That was the *LAST* hurdle, the car is fully paid, insurance is fully paid and the car is registered and waiting for me to pick it up tomorrow :)

Just thought I'd share my story because I know pretty much everyone has problems with insurance, so this might be a glimmer of hope for you guys who ruled out even trying to get insurance because you're not the policy holder.

Cheers,

Tim

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
