hi everybody,

plz give me some ideas for my new line. i am gonna get a r33 tomorrow and not sure where to insure the car in sydney?

and also im 22, r33 is turbo, should i get car under my dad's name to get it insured or should i just put under my name? i was trying to get a cheaper way.

any quote for comprehensive insureance? im pretty poor, or might just get an third party.~

thanks very much for everyone's help. :thumbsup:

Need to look before posting.

I was using Famous Classic for a while and found their prices good. I had a no fault claim and they were ok.

I'm now with Shannons and find them competitive and have better coverage in their policy.

i'm going to be honest with you. you most likely wont be able to afford full comprehensive insurance. putting in your dads name is not a good idea, nor is it legal. plus if you are named on the policy they will base the premium off you anyway so it wont be any cheaper.

what is your no claim bonus rating like? have you had full comp on a sports car before? are you on a full licence or p's?

Shannons is the best but since you're under 25 and probably not a member of any car clubs, I doubt they'll insure you.

Keep in mind the years you go under your dads name generally do not count towards NCB.

Goto JustCar Insurance website and then perform an online quote - they generally give pretty good estimates of what you should expect to pay.

Anyway - you should've done all this research BEFORE you got the car. Naughty. :thumbsup:

How does that work? Im 23 and have an R34 Gtt and can easily afford insurance. I think insurance for imports has become a bit cheaper over the last 5 years because of competition and a greater understanding of the cars by the insurance companies.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat

      Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.

      I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...

      Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.
