'Sif get full comp as a P-plater lol. Just Car want $2,600 to insure me with my car on full comp, and it's a stock NA (albeit not for long) hahahaha.

I'm so trying that. Your a geniuos :)

Haha, clearly :D

I'm 18, but I still live at home. Therefore my parents can kick the car out of the garage (they're threatened that) and I HATE parking it outside, no matter where it is!

Get a car cover.

$780. sometimes its good to be a bit older (but not very often)

Man thats cheap, my basic 3rd party is already costing $320 & if I want fire + theft I got quoted $550.

On the subject of turbos, today my parents were talking about want kind of cars they want to get in the future, & based on their selection criteria I recommended these for them...

Dad: He wants a "regular" family sedan the size of a Commo. = XR6 turbo

Mum: Must have a BMW of some sort, preferably a sedan & size of a Camry (its a Chinese + doctor thing...) = BMW 335i

Myself: Skyline of some sort = R34 GTT

Whole Turbo for the family :)

'mum, i need a car to get to uni and back...'

'show me which car you want'

'that one'

'okay, don't forget you have to pay me back'

'okay' :whistling:

that's my story... and yes i'm paying her back, nothing's free in this world lol

All you punks that had cars bought for you.. tsk tsk.. shame on you all :domokun:

Me: Oh hai mum i pick up my new car today!

Mum: Thats nice dear what is it

Me: Its a skyline

Mum: oh those old square box things how much is it?

Me: 27k

Mum: YOUR PAYING 27k for an old box-car and your only 20!!!!

Me: ok gotta go bai

few months after i got the car

whilst in the car

dad: whats that clock thing? (the boost gauge)

me: boost gauge

dad: whats that for

me: the turbo

dad: what ? this car is turbo?

Pretty much same story aye...

One weekend my parents came up with this story to convince me that the boot in my R34 was larger than my sister's boot in her E46 320i BMW... They drove from Perth to the farm (360km) and proceeded to tell me why they brought the R34 and not the beemer.. I wasn't so convinced, I said to dad it would be a carton if my boot was smaller than my sisters, I found the specifications on the net and won myself a carton!

*woot*

3rd Party all the way :)

And yeah when I got my first turbo 180, I just told my parents I was going out, coming home tomorrow with my new car (hadnt mentioned it previously). Don't know how long it took them to work out it was turbo, but mum wouldn't have a clue what one is.

$2500 without that shit :thumbsup: f**king insurance. Gonna get Dad to try and insure it under his name through HBF. Hopefully its cheaper.

Wtf, that's still cheaper than insuring an Aus-spec NA Z31 lol.

Also bare in mind that you aren't covered if you're driving it at the time of a crash, only your Dad is. Unless you add yourself as another driver, and the premium goes back up to what it would be for you to insure it anyway.

Edit: Err, you might want to tell them you're no longer on L's too lol.

I'm not sure about that. I'm down as a driver on both my dad's cars one old and one new(er). It was just an extra $70 a year for each of them to have me on it.

I will definately be doing this when I buy my first car.

Yeh, they insure my dad, but I'm also insured. And it isnt that much more either. Everyone does it, my mate was paying $250 a year for full comprehensive on his VR Lexcen that way!! In his mum's name, who got 50% off because she worked for the RAC.

I put it down that I got my license on the 30 of Jan, 2008 (Which I did) and its MORE then what I'm currently paying!! WTF??

Hrmm ok then, when I did the online quote the price was the same if I was the owner or an extra driver.. Must have been just the site then.

Does the car need to be in their name too then? Or just the insurance? Is the excess any worse?

I'd blame the stereotype for that.

Edit: Btw, Just Car covers L-platers for free as long as the person sitting with you is the same person who the vehicle is insured to. That said, you wont be covered with someone else if you do it that way.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
