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

      Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.

      Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old

      Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
