im 18 and just cars quoted me 2746 for my 1996 gts-t unlimited mods (i have racked up the highest points with the mods i have)

premiums have come down about 800 in the last 3-4 months from just cars, only way i could afford my skyline lol

insurance premiums have dropped dramatically since a few weeks ago.

hrmm, i reckon just car should tell u straight off if a mod is legal or not. coz its not technically "easy" finding a particular rule to say if a particular mod is legal or not. if its not legal they should tell you straight away.

im not with justcar, my friend is and they told him that it was his responsibilty to make sure the mods are legal, not justcars'.

take for example the exhaust modification rule in NSW. "A vehicle cannot be fitted with an exhaust system which will work less effectively compared to factory OEM". say i get a full catback fitted onto the skyline, doing so immediately voids the rule, coz its not factory OEM specs. yet you have the option to tick "exhaust modifications" on the contract. yeh, "modifications". but who the hell is gonna change an exhaust(non sports) and tick yes? at fault claim rejected ? maybe.

you will be able to fit a cat back exhaust because it will work better than the OEM one.

but it also depends on what they classify as a "less effective exhaust".

well my quote isnt exactly word for word from the actual rule. but i do remember it being rather strict.

it sounds pretty stupid I think. They say only legal mods and it's our responsibility, so they will cover us for illegal mods, charge us extra and then possibly not pay out if something happens. They quoted me extra for my mods (exhaust and BOV) and it's third party, so they won't pay for any damage to my car anyway.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.

      Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      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
