no idea when i rang they said yup we have sorted it and gave me the details saying the correct car. then said its will be $600 and said what thats 100 more than what my bill said.then she yes but the 608 is for the whole year. :D they its cheaper now cause u have turned 25 since your last renewal and your ncb has gone up.

so if you've turned 25 since your last bill before you pay the next one ring them and make sure its in there system that your 25.

When I transfered my insurance from my old bomb to my 1994 r33 gts25t with RAC I was 24 and had a 55% NCB. When I re-new it in march next year I'll be 25 and should have a 60% NCB, so I'm hoping its nice and cheap. The only thing I hate is that there is no market value so you have to put a value you want, plus adding any additional mods to the insurance list is a pain as they dont like it. Anyway, it cost me like $900 for a year as a 24 year old with 55% NCB. I'm glad I waited till I was older before I got a performance car, screw paying $3000/year just because i'm only 19 or something. I dont think people that young should have performance cars anyway, too much power for someone with a small amount of experience, unless they have a CAMS license :)

I am currently paying $2500 per year for my R33 GTS-4 with no claim bonus( reacently got broken into but since then I got new window and sounds system, MB qurtz plus piooneer from factory)

only paid $250 acess

I think I am paying too much.. I am with RAC!

cheers

I just renewed with RAC and they wanted to know if i wanted to insure my stereo I asked how much to insure and she said well standard you get $750 worth of insurance on your stereo so any more $$$ than that it might pay you to insure....:eek:

I was never told that we get $750 of free insurance on the car stereo when i made me annual payment until now!

Have you guys been told that aswell? where you aware of that? i certainly wasn't they kept it pretty quiet from me! hmm maybe i should have checked my policy harder but i would have remembered sumfin like that though!

Okay this is the go as it was explained to me many a time.

The R32 GTR was released locally. Hence it's insurance is cheaper than the GTS. Why ? Cos at the time you couldn't get parts locally from Nissan for it.

Now that Nissan do carry R33 parts I think things are a changing.

The people on the phone generally don't know the difference beteewn a Hyundai Excel and a R33. All they see is that it is not listed on the computer and tell you to nicely rack off.

I have also been explianed why it is extremely difficult to get non bank finace on an import but that could get me into trouble for telling... Oh and I found this info out through the RAC and GE Auto and Fleet 'cos we did the outsourcing IT work for them and I asked some managers.

I'm having problems getting insurance for my R31 if it had a RB20det in it.GIO,HBF,Weatern QBE,Fai Allianz,RAC and SGIO have all said no coz i'm 19:shake: .I'm thinking about 3rd party coz it's cream to start with and she's not to hot what yous reckon.

i shopped around all the companies too

all my other sh#t is with HBF they told me NO at first

but i said i'd take my business elswhere a few calls later they came to the party. they told me mine changed the way they looked at these cars and it came in at $836..@ $15000

R31 POWER:

i'm only 20 and have a hr31 gts with a 32 rb20

rac cover me for $1540 per year, which i think is reasonable.

i rang everyone in the yellow pages, even brokers, and rac were the only ppl to give me a quote.

that premium is with 30% ncb and alarm discount.

originally it was $2445.

I have just been on the phone with the RAC and they not only dont want to insure any more jap imports they are going to send a letter to each policy holder at the end of the term to explain how they thankyou for you business but we are no longer can supply insurunce for your vehicle.

They say that they are looking into the feasability of going through each car one buy one and checking on the availability of part. But they are starting with the non turbo silvia then non turbo skyline but they dont invisage looking to their turbo charged brothers. Shit news hey! So you guys with RAC insurance dont leave it too late and find out that you only have a few weeks insurance left.

Hope that some car importers can get together and provide a good base of spares or i feel other insurers will follow suit and will put the life of the beloved Skyline at risk. :)

    • Updating results following our SR20det project. Data collected form improves future turbocharger making and high flowing services. So far differences between G and GT series turbine wheels, we are in the process of making a new turbine, the aim is for better mid top range flow without gain too much lag.  Result is back to back comparison of G25-660 and GTX2867 spec turbochargers on the same car, nothing changed apart from turbocharger. Both tuned to knock limit from pump 98 fuel (US Ron93). GTX2867 was about 400RPM more responsive making 255rwkws while G25-660 made 17 extra Kws with wider spread of torque after 4500RPM finishing off at 272rwkws.  
    • @GTSBoy i tried to jumper the wires and got the steering wheel light to come on which is right under the gear indication but that still doesnt come on.  Can it be an issue with my cluster?
    • Given that you have seen the dash indicator work briefly, then it would seem like you have a simple wiring problem. What happens when you simply jumper the wires on the "steering wheel switch"?
    • Yesterday's day in review: All the wiring to the lights up the front how I want it, is ran, terminated, and all to length. The only lighting up front I haven't finished is the side indicators, as I need to get to the partly cutup factory loom, and find the plugs for them. Interesting note, the side indicators use the exact same plug that's in the doors for something else that I don't remember what it is... So that plug better be careful...   Power steering solenoid, on the R33 is variable, and from memory PWM. The Ford's control from the docs I have so far, is it's just a on or off control. So I'm not sure it's what I want, and in any case, power steering running, but at its heaviest (solenoid off) is likely what I'll want anyway, so I'm not yet touching it at all. All the wiring I can complete so far, is done. There are 3 wires I need to make a plug for at the ECU, and these are just for the vehicle speed sensor, of which I need to get a T5 from an AU, so I can use its output that has the speed sensor on it. (My car doesn't have ABS, otherwise I'd set it up to use one of the ring gears on that). I need to buy new headlight globes and front parker globes, otherwise I could show photos of lights working. Current fuel lines in and out on this motor are "5/16". I'll order hardline, and some AN fittings for that, and I just need to 100% check fuel line size at the tank end, to get the ends for it. I'm also looking at a few options for the banjo bolts to AN fittings for the power steering rack. I'll pull the reservoir off the Barras PS pump. There's an off the shelf fitting for that pump for a -10 AN feed, and it'll use a 16mm to dash -6 an outlet to feed the rack. I'll be making my own power steering reservoir, I'm going through the thought process at the moment of how I'll run the baffles, and I need to research another idea for it too.
    • Two inlet runners changes the engines characteristics requiring less fuel to make torque at different points in the rev range. The smaller diameter inlet runners on the DET increases air flow speed, which improves atomisation of fuel, particularly in low load/idle for better burn, and in specific areas of the engine, (areas you would use when driving normally) increases the efficiency. All of those items change how efficient the engine is at different speeds. The changes on the neo help slightly to improve emissions where it matters. The overall improvements won't be the likes of going from an engine built in the 70s to an engine built in the 2000s, it's just a small step. But still leaves it the RB with the best chance of improvement.   As for your comment about the whole using a cat to not need to worry about those gases. Two things, no system is 100% perfect. It won't eliminate everything. So reduce the quantity you put into it, you still reduce the output. Two, make that system do less work, and it's likely to survive a little bit longer. Funnily enough to, one trick employed to get cats up to temp, AND to drastically reduce emissions before they get up to temp, is to reduce ignition timing.
