Rego for a skyline is the same as any other passenger vehicle. In victoria anyway. Usually $486.50 in high risk area (ie melb metro). It gets cheaper the further away from the city you get (but not much).

Insurance = $$$$$$ for a skyline :):D . Do a search and you'll find a million and three people here with the same problem. If you're under 25, expect to pay upwards of $1500. I think theres only 2 or 3 companies that will even look at turbo imports & under 25 "Just Cars" and "Yong and Cool". Good Luck.

$1500? keep going :uh-huh: Unless you have a spotless driving record and 60% no claim I still wouldnt expect to get away with insurance for less than say $2800 per year if you are under 25.

I think I've worked out Just Cars rating system. I got a few quotes on 22yo, S1 R33 gtst, medium risk suburb, and few minor mods. With rating 6 they wanted $3591, rating 4 $2561, and rating 1 $1078. That looks to be about $500 per rating, doesnt it :confused:. Fook 'em, Insurance companies are a

That's cos you're in Vic :D They are a QLD based company and that quote is their way of saying we don't want your business :uh-huh:

they don't mind ACT ppl though :)

I'm with them ($1400 a year full comprehensive)

Yeah I worked that out. They could've just said "Sorry we cant insure you." That way if I ever move to QLD I might consider giving them another call. I doubt wether they'll ever get my business now.

Oh, by the way, the last line of my last post should've read "Fook 'em, insurance companies are a pack of kunts!!!" :uh-huh:

    • Also sorry to hear this @DanielStone - I remember @SmoothLine well, he was around for a very long time and was one of the original members of this site.  God Speed Matt. Thoughts with his family and friends.
    • Nice car! Looking at your GTS; makes me wonder why I bought a GTS-t... Everything has been changed anyway. I should have just started with a non turbo model.
    • Rear doors central locking wiring removed and cleaned. See the first 8sec video of when it’s filled with river silt. its a snip of what I’m up against. front and rear doors complete now. Maybe another day removing carpet and bits and pieces. Then the re assembly begins. 🤙 att.DqweJqhY5MZiZYQDVMhn3LtvdD1RBZ7TBG4f2s7W1zM.mp4 att.lFuN22MZEowqCbFAXoDw009r2gHL76ChMVfxMfBX-uk.mp4
    • There aren't boost creep issues, it's not engineered around the restriction of the cats but if you haven't tuned the engine a full decat + exhaust can flow enough air to run off the end of the OEM load scales and you will get a pretty substantial reduction in ignition timing as a result. I recommend using DFCO, avoiding ignition cut limiters, and avoiding popcorn tunes along with running a cat unless you enjoy a perpetually soot-covered and potentially burnt bumper.
    • Small update, it's been slow moving over the Christmas period with money having to go everywhere thats not my car 😅. I got myself a little present to myself from "santa" in the form of some tidy radiator mounts from fitmint automotive to get rid of the stock ones that look like they have been in an accident before and then straightened by a caveman. I know I should've replaced the rubber bush at the same time but I had no idea how bad they were until I was replacing the mounts. Decided to order their dash mat while I was at it as I feel like I am lucky enough to have a pretty decent condition dash and I don't want to risk it being ruined while it's parked in the aussie sun while I'm at work. I have found another electrical fault to add to the evergrowing list to eventually chase down. Every time I replace my taillight globe it blows within a day of use, I'm starting to think my life would be easier if I took a few minutes to learn how to use  a multimeter 😂.   Had some luck with finding a series 2 drivers headlight on marketplace to replace my mismatched series 1 headlight, a subtle difference but it's nice to have a matching set of lights now.   I returned to the air con problem due to being sick of this summer heat, found a good condition condenser to replace my leaking one! I got it in the car and was happy when I got the thumbs up that the system was now holding gas. Sadly the compressor is not kicking in for some reason, we even tried branching the relay in the fuse box. I have tried to do some research on the issue with no clear understanding of what the fix is, so for now it will be placed on the backburner until I can be bothered to look into the wiring to the compressor. The last small mods I have done was cutting the horizontal vents out of the front bar, not really in a functional airflow sense but I just think it looks better as I am not a fan of the series 2 bar. I also switched the shift knob out for a hosoboyo aluminium grex style one, it has a really nice more direct driving feel than the outdated rubbery oem one. Thirdly, I chucked on one of the ebay bonnet strut kits. The fitment is decent and they seem to work fairly well. They have only given out once while the car was parked facing downhill, I think if I was working under the bonnet I would still put the oem hood stay up to be precautionary as to avoid getting a speedy concussion.
