Insurance Blues ...


Recommended Posts

INASNT,

let me put it this way guys .. cars in australia are wayyyy cheaper than it is in malaysia .. for example .. a R34 GTR V-spec II here would cost less than 100 grand rite ? in malaysia its around 220++ Aussie dollars .. a DC5 type-r here is less than 50 grand but its selling for 100 grand Aussie dollars in Malaysia ..

akeenan,

yes i can get a comprehensive insurance .. its just going to be expensive thats all ..

sven_laptop,

you are right .. i'm not a good driver yet .. everybody has to start somewhere rite ? which one of you here became very good in driving when you just got your license ? nobody rite ?

i might not get the GTT due to high arse insurance prices .. so i'm thinking of other options like a DC5 type-R .. haih .. its so sad ..

thanks guys .. i really appreciate all your views .. especially yours sven_laptop .. ! i'm going to get a less powerful car for now .. a DC5 .. =( and the insurance i'm going to pay is $ 4500 a year .. i know it sucks .. but .. oh well ..

take care guys ! drive safely !

cheers !

even tho ur a student, u can still have a decent job. I'm will be a 2nd year uni student this year and i have a decent enough job to get insurance for a GT-T at around $1500, and i'm 19. Haven't got the car yet... but that's what saving is all about. If u want a GT-T, and i'm kinda in ur boat, really want it but it's looking REALLY impracticle, then get it. If u dad is paying the $35K or so to get the car, i don't think he'd mind paying insurance either... well i don't know... he might. Anyways it seems like u've wised up to the whole situation..

wonder when i will? :D

hey !

you want a GTT too ? damn .. there are so sweet rite ? nothing can beat the looks of that car in the price range .. but i dont think i wanna get if after knowing the prices of insurance here in australia .. :(

i'm really considering the DC5 type- R .. what do you think of this car ? is it alright ? i mean you cant compare the performance with any skyline as it would lose out straight away .. in terms of looks and everything ?

cheers !

heard lots of great things abou the Type-R's, ppl who drive em go "all this crap about FWD, this car shows that it doesn't really matter"

yep, i am thinking about settling for a WRX, possibly a 325i, but the appeal of the R34 GT-T is soooo damn strong.... awesome looking cars, and the performance to match.

to the person who mentioned prosperion before. that's what i was talking about before. But they aren't just an insurance company. The package together the running costs of the car for a year (u sit down with em and budget out what u'd spend on fuel, servicing, tyres, insurance) and then divide into monthly payments. This then comes out of ur pay pre-tax. So u gotta get ur employer's ok to do this. That's what i was getting at about a decent job, cos i don't see this happening thru maccas.

So in regards with insurance with prosperion, they insure more on the CAR rather than the DRIVER, big advantage. U can mod the crap out of the car as long as it's street legal. But u gotta install navtrak, which u'd prob do anyway. Of course they have excessse for under 25's and turbo cars, but the guy i spoke (chris) said it would work out to be $1500 for the insurance part. So as u can see, it's pretty damn good. But it's quite complicated to do it tho. And a bit restrictive for 18/19 yr olds who might want to go o.s. but have to be on a minimum of 12month novated lease. But it's really the only way of getting insurance and plus coming out of ur pay pre-tax, getting a tax benefit there as well.

cheers.

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
