Well to get a loan for skyline i had to sort out all this insurance crap and speaking to robyn she quoted me 4 different figures (ranging from 2600-4500). If i payed it all upfront she would do it for $3400, but i couldnt do that so it was going to cost me $700 upfront and 10 monthly payments of about $370. Using monthly debits adds almost another grand on the premium. Bugger that

My mate comes goes in a week later and with a worse driving record, no NCB, almost identical car (skyline) etc (remembering i live in a much better area than him) it only cost him $2500. They seemed to stuff me around and when i cancelled (after i found out that RAC wouldnt give me a loan for skyline) they were very, very unhappy.

My excess was going to be 2500 at least.

WRX is SO much easier / cheaper for insurance.

But they are looking after my mate really well (and by the sounds of it, you too)

yeh i understand what your saying.

Im reasonably happy with the RAC and the only mods that they said no to was something like autronics, but when the time comes, what they dont know, wont hurt them.

Everything else like zorst, FMIC was cool as long as its done in a legit way.

One thing that will never change is that ALL insurance companys are wankers!

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
