1997 stagea rb25det auto - $1150

1997 stagea with rb26 and manual $1200

thats from just cars for 22 year old, very good driving record, and 60% no claims.

couldnt believe its only $50 more for a rb26, just shows they dont have a clue  :D

note: both qoutes the car was valued at $20K

yours is RB27 isnt it?? :D

Would they not let u insure it for anymore than $20K or is that all u wanted to insure it for?

I'd try a couple more times to try and get a good quote, as that seems fairly high. For example I am 22, 40% NCB, and drive an R33 GTR with a few mods, and im only paying $1700! Car is insured for $40,000.

I am in the country, and i have a clean record, so maybe that has something to do with it?

Maybe try to get a higher no claims bonus? I joined just cars with 3rd party only (on my old r33 gtst) for 2 years, and then upgraded to comprehensive, and they convert over the NCB from third party to comprehensive.

yer thats all i said to insure it for, as i was in a hurry to get cover and i planned on taking it in for evaluation at a later date, but its getting abit extreme with the big single turbo and shit to pass as a stock engine :D

but i think you'd find the premium a little higher than $2400 a year.

seriously.

nah not neccessarily, depends on quite a few things. there a limited use policies, for example, which can make the premium much cheaper too....

Or it could be BS :D

Ahhh thats cool that Just Cars will do evaluations, I never knew that :)

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
