bro they will do mine im only 24...they did my mates...he used to have the blue hq 202 ute that now has a 350 chev in it....so i cant see why they wont do you...

stupid big companys and their stupid rules...

so how did you go with redstar?? good price or expensive???

hey man i looked at shannons they wont insure anyone under 25 cos im only 18 lol

I got told when i applied that they wont insure anyone without # (forgot) years driving experience, they never said anything to me about being under 25

hmm weird guess ill hav 2 read it more carefully lol im calling redstar tomoro ill let ya's know how i go but i did see a quote from the people azriel used and they said 970 from adelaide depot 2 alice springs depot all the car has 2 do is run without jump and have breaks and have min 6 inch clearence off the ground but they didnt really have good info on payment details so i think they will be a last resort.

dude for about $1000 you could take a friday or a monday of work...fly down one day..pck your car up and drive it back and have 1 day to recooperate before you go back to work...we drove to adelaide and back last month and cost us $260 each way in a vt commodore... i mean f**k $960 is a lot of money...

Your right it is a lot of $$$.. but it is also easier, you don't put the extra k's on the clock, no risk of hitting a roo or anything. It could still get damaged but at least any major damaged is covered by the transport company. Driving yourself would be a great chance to get a feel for a new car.

i mean there are good and bad of both...look at it this way..if you transport you cant really go back to who ever you got the car from and say its no good...if you pick it up you can look at it properly so you know your not getting ripped... and if you leave at about 4 in the mornig you will be home before dark that same day... we left city centre at 6 and were home at just past 6pm... so only drive at daylight...

yeh dont worry guys iv weighed up all the options there all good points and i agree with azriel 100% i really dont wanna stress the car out by driving it here or hit a roo and i will get a feel for the car by driving it to standley chasm or sumthin like that so i think i will play it safe and get redstar 2 get it here

dude i fully understand..i would probly do the same thing... i wouldnt wanna f**k up my new car either...on another note...

i saw skylyn in maccas drive through wednesday night....lookin schmick jimmy boy.... :sorcerer:

lol saw u at maccas that same night i was followin ya down larapinta in dads corolla but couldnt keep up lol was gonna say hi when u were in the drive thru but thought it would look kinda strange if i jumped out in front of ya car lol

    • 65601-05U00 is the hood latch. 62550-08U31 is the support that holds it to the radiator core support. They are all super discontinued so I don't really have any great leads on how to source this stuff.
    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
