:bahaha:

sorry mate ... seriously ... try Famous Car Insurance in Subi ... they seem to be able to sort out some fairly reasonable prices. Also, Suncorp Metway is another one to try.

Good luck! :)

Hey Chris,

Are you the guy that gave everyone my direct number a while ago so they could call me at HBF for quotes.

IF IT WAS (and only if it was) thanks for that, a total of 22 phone calls from hoons with GTR's, silvias, 180sx's who are 23 and mostly younger with at fault accidents and losses of licence etc. what a good day that was

If not then I am still looking for the guy. Either way I probably authorised the cover for your wifes car.

Insurance is very scared of taking risks with imports as there are no age/driver skill restrictions for buying them, especially with the power that most can put out, same goes for V8's ya know. I mean I know excel drivers smash cars all the time, but cos we are a specialised group we get the sh*t end of everything. Its almost hopeless. and worse if you have had a crap history.

HBF do cover imports. so give them a call and tell them that someone else just did one if anyone says we dont do it. If you get too much opposition ask to be put through to James and leave a message for him telling him you want a quote for an import.

DO NOT TELL HIM YOU HEARD IT FROM HERE. If he tells me that I AM GOING TO BE NOT HAPPY JAN.

(we are checking how much interest there is just from the public, not from advertising. )

cheers RiaZ, will give hbf a call later on and see how i go. maybe will have slightly better luck - will be 26 when the car if fiiiiiiinally registered and i'm sqeaky clean :uh-huh: (well as far as driving record goes anyways!!)

thanks for the input guys

Beeb

Sorry to inform you guys but I only pay $600 per year for my GTS-t, and it was only $700 when I was under 25. It seems that the insurance companies have one mad recently, but if you had insurance before then its not so bad, just hope I don't have an accident, they'll be waiting for an excuse not to renew at that price.

See'ya:burnout:

no dramas Chrisroi,

I know paul and he is a good guy, You wont have any dramas with the car for sure.

if you need anything insurance related about your policy let me know via email. [email protected]

Everyone else. good luck

RiaZ

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
