I originally went with Suncorp, much to my surprise when i added the turbo they said that wouldnt affect the premium as i wasnt increasing the displacement (go figure).

I dont know if this is different these days, but one things for sure... there is no trickin the insurance companies... if there's a way of getting out of paying, be assured they WILL find it!

I’m with Justcar, don’t try and bullshit the insurance company…it just makes it easier not to pay you out in an accident.

I tell them everything...every minor thing on the car, and I’ve been happy with the excellent service. BTW I’m in the same boat as Crooser..my turbo did not increase the premium.

Didn't notice much of a difference in power (if at all) with the 3.25". Looks schmick and sounds great. A bit loud down low, but at cruise speed and idleing, can't even notice it.

Again, the exhaust is a bit bigger than I needed, but seeing as a turbo is coming soon, I opted for too big to save money down the track.

As for the insurance, insuring it in your dad's name is a waste of time. You don't earn any no-claim bonus for yourself, the excess also makes it a waste of time and can also give the insurance company a reason for not paying out too (i.e if you insure a WRX for example in your dad's name, they will not pay if a driver crashes that is under 25!!). Same could apply to your car. I got quote just under $4500 with 0% no claim, no mods and a speeding fine just recently through just cars

i only pay circ. $1800 p/a for fully comprehensive in WA, and i have no idea what just 3rd party fire and theft costs, i never asked. After all, how much is your baby worth ? if it was a 2 grand corrola then fine, but not the 'line !

pstanbis if my full comp was that much, sure i'd get it, but its quoted at over $4500 :|

yeah, fair enough....

$4500 - thats what i got quoted for a turbo ! i think you'll find it goes as much on car value as power - my mates 2001 pulsar costs him $2200 - but it cost him about 7 grand more than my skyline so thats where i got that idea from. Anyone else made the comparison?

    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal! 
    • You miss spelled bearings...
    • Just putting it out there, that's a decent list. You would be better off *not* doing *any* of that and buying someone else's modded car. Like mine. Or anybody else's. Yes it's lotto dependent and all this and that but that 70K (remember, double your guesses) could go elsewhere. Keep it stock, save your money, go lowball @Dose Pipe Sutututu :p
    • Does not mean what you think it means. The continual rising coefficient is the coefficient of friction that continues to rise with increasing temperature. Not "rising during a single stop", except inasmuch as the brakes should get hotter during a single stop. The RR would not be the best choice for a streeter. Yeah....no it's not. JAX would rummage around in the "shit pads we use for all shitboxen that come in here" and install those.
    • @Kinkstaah I've got my list.. but most of them is to do if I ever win the lotto
