hey, about to get my car soon, and trying to figure out which insurance company is the go, most likely to be 3rd party + fire and theft, but if full comp is not over the top, i shall consider it. I am 18, having just got my licence.

the car is a 1996 R33 Gtst Automatic.

Thanks for your help.

get full comp, can u afford to throw 15k in the bin?

if yes then get 3rd party, if no then get full comp

just cars will be your best bet

racv wont touch grey imports

btw manual is more fun and has better resale value

nah, paying cash, just got a quote from just car, $2973 !!! full comp

looks like its 3rd party + fire and theft - $540

i would have got a manual if i hadnt got such a good deal on the auto.

sports car + 18yr old = almost certain to do the inevitable. yes 3k for insurance is bloody expensive. i dont think u will get any cheaper though.

being 18 wouldnt that car be the most expensive thing you own? your better off forking out the full comp. i did. im glad i did

lol ineedy. meh, i cant afford 3 grand a yr atm, actually at any moment! i took out a 7 grand loan anyway. 3rd party + fire and theft is the only thing i can afford. i called shannons they said the dont insure anyone under 25 :)

and the rest hate skylines and other imports, bastards !!!

anyone know if i got a sound system (subs, splits, headunit, 6x9s, amps) would they be covered to??

cheers

Your sound system or anything else inside the car is not covered for theft.

And if your car gets stolen you will get $5000 - excess ($2250) - premium ($540) = $2210

Would you be happy with making a claim after paying your $540 premium and being told that you only get $2210 for your stolen pride an joy?

I dare say the sound system would probably be worth that much.

Go full comp... or get another car until you ar off your P plates. That way you will have (hopefully) built up some no claim bonus and will be paying less than $1500 a year.

    • Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?
    • A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.    
    • No, with a twin plate clutch flywheels and clutch pressure plate/friction disks go together. Only clutch where that isn't the case is the Uniclutch but they currently don't make a pull version for the Getrag R34, just some other cars. Personally the flywheel is as light as I'd want it to be. It already drops revs faster than I want to shift normally and I blip the throttle again to rev match on upshifts.
    • Are there any other lighter flywheels that can be used with nismo coppermix twinplate system? Id like to gave the revs pick up faster than oem
    • RB20/25 covers don’t have threaded fasteners stock like RB26 covers. They are blind rivets so I will need to drill out and tap threads. I bought some M4x6mm button heads and will report back once done if I chose correctly length wise.    have also got some loctite
