^^^ What he said, It's best way because insurance for younger driver like us (18-25) is bullshit (18 y.o. in stocko brand new corolla = $2,500 a year for car worth 20k), along with stupidly high cost of excess (around $1500 depending on cover), thats means not worth to make a claim if you crash the car like r32 if it's worth 10k, do search, there's information about insurance in this site somewhere that makes good read.

Good tip is get 3rd party (fire and theft) save your hard earned dollars aside for breakages, repairs to the car as it is very common for cars that is aged. At least, it's much better than driving without a insurance.

Best of luck of getting R32 GTS-t I'm sure the turbo power will bring smile to your face everytime you start the engine!

Cheers

1500 excess?!?! well thats the point I needed......seems kinda point less now, because if i crash thats 3400 plus 1500.....nearlly 5 grand.......which in the most realistic case of and accident, would be more then enough to cover the damage

With CTP Third Party Property with Fire And Theft option, would i be facing a larger then normal cost....or are the prices down to earth?

and for that turbo power.....it sure did bring a smile to my face.....which is the reason im upgrading from the VS!

Fire and theft for any car is around 300-500 bucks, doesnt matter if its HSV/Skyline/WRX or whatever. After all your car is only covered for those two things and I think if you also smash into someones house and end up with a million dollar bill, although Id check it out with the insurance comp cos as far as I know there are two types of third party covers.

Yes, there are two types of third party

You've got the one that comes with registration, which is Third Party, which basically means if you smash into someones car, and they get injured and its your fault, it means that the insurance company will cover the cost of the operation, but not the car

The other is Third Party Property, its really just an add-on to the above, so if u wreck there car it'll cover for that as well, and the fire and theft means they'll cover you if your car catchs on fire(if your bad enough to let that happen), or gets stolen it will also cover you to the market value

So no matter what i drive, even if its a turbocharged and supercharged W16 Monster, will not effect the cost of the CTP? if so thats really good news :(

yeah give em a call or log online justcar.com.au and do an online app for third party and see how much they charge.

The royal automobile club of WA (RAC) were going to charge me $203 for 3rd party on an R32GTS-t and i'm 19, from my searching it's a fairly decent price. Really if your'e wondering how much it's gona cost just spend 20mins n make some calls to insurance co's they will give quotes and a pretty close idea of the costs involved...

Cheers

fire and theft prices can vary quite a bit

when i was 18, to insure my stock non turbo TX5 with AAMI third party fire and theft was $450 ish.

with the mods (rims, lowering etc) it had to go through just cars, and they wanted something like $700 for the same cover.

also, its market value up to $5000. not actual market value. and dont go by what you paid...ACTUAL market value is almost certain to be substantially less than what people will pay for a car

yes, the market value is never what the car is really worth,

as for the Royal Automobile club of WA charging 200 something.....i assume this means id have to a member and live in WA? because Just Cars Insurance quoted me for about 450 with Fire and Theft cover.....and tahts a substantially higher price then that of the RACWA, would this be the same for the RACQ?

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
