Hey all, just got myself a '92 R32 and have decided not to go with full comp insurance as I'm on my Ps and cant afford the ridiculous fee. I was just wondering if anyone can recommend an insurer for my CTP, as I've heard a few import owners speaking of a number of insurers I hadn't previously come across. So if anyone knows a cheap one, please let me know. Oh and I'm in melbourne.

Shit I just noticed the insurance thread, i'll have a read but if there are any recommendations let me know. Cheers

CTP costs only vary with the number of cylinders, not the type of car so it really only varies by a couple of dollars between insurers.

this is not always true, in relation to a NSW ctp greenslip there is often quite a difference between what different companies offer.

this year one company (AAMI) quoted me $100 less than all others.

go here to get quotes from all companies although some will not recognise imports online (u have to ring them)

Victoria doesnt have a seperate CTP. You pay your rego, and it has the insurance included in it already.

Are you talking about third party insurance? Then places like Just cars and Shannons etc are your best bet. But I'd highly reccommend getting comprehensive insurance. It seems expensive but you get what you pay for.

CTP or greenslip is privatised in NSW. It was introduced (15 years ago??) in an effort to lower the cost of CTP but ultimately has cost alot more and more over the years

Hasnt the price for CTP gone up??

i remember seing an ad by that blue heelers star, sayin greenslip is now covered for young teenagers who are injured, therefore the price is a little stepper..

Or something along those lines..

I got rego due soon as well.. So need to hunt for cheap greenslips.. hmm

that website above has a comparison for most (if not all) companies which offer ctp greenslips, a compulsory thing for rego in nsw.

if you cant afford comprehensive (its piss ass expensive for p'platers, 3.2k for me, plus a 2k excess), i recommend you get ctp and then a 3rd party insurance, such as just cars 3rd party fire and theft, which will cover anyone you crash (i.e fix their car not yours), and will also give you $5000 in the event of a fire or theft.

i remember doing an online quote for an r33 and it turned out to be somewhere around $540

What if you dont purchase CTP at all??

I know it cover you in an event of an accident.

But im talkin about legal issues.

Ie. will you get a fine for not taking it? Or you are unable to drive your car etc etc?? something like that.

u cannot register your car without a ctp green slip.

and as someone else said there is a wide misconception that it covers third party property damage, this is not true, it is only for personal injury and u need to buy third party property damage seperately. that is usually around $600 for a p plater in nsw from justcars.

I didn't know that, I must be thinking of third party insurance as you mentioned. That's the basic one that covers fire and theft and costs around $500 per year right?

i think ctp and 3rd party are around the same price.

dude. CTP IS THRIRD PARTY. That's what it stands for. Compulsory Third Party

I believe what this gentleman is interested in is "Third Party Property, Fire and Theft". Which is NOT CTP. Third party property covers the damage you cause to someone elses property, and will pay you out $5000 in the case of your car being claimed by fire, or stolen. Personally I think it's a waste of money. The payout is very small compared to the premium. Far better to just bite the bullet and pay for Comprehensive insurance.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way.

      From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
