i think the best idea is to talk to the people who have the right answers.

for insurance : ring an insurance company - as a general note, your in the worst possible case

for legalities: contact the RTA (for NSW) and ask them - i dont beleive there is any laws (yet) about not having a r32gts when your on your p's

If it's illegal then insurance wouldn't cover it no matter who's name it was under since it's duty of disclosure in good faith. Which means you have to tell them anything you know that you can reasonably think might affect their insurance of you < quite a simple concept really.

Insurance at 17 = doubt it. JustCars (for people I know who are older than you and been driving longer with the same car) seem to offer around the $5000-5500 mark with about a $4000 excess (or thereabouts - for me it was about $6000).

I doubt anyone else would insure you.

Also you can't put it under your mums name cos then you're not covered. You need to be a nominated driver to be covered. When you're nominated they quite simply give you the same price as if it was in your name (as it always goes by the youngest/highest risk driver).

My mate is 21 and he doesn't insure his cos he can't.

He's never had a speeding ticket.

Never crashed.

Totally stock car.

Good luck.

Assuming you are in NSW as per your profile yes as the power to weight restrictions such as those in vic dont apply here.

You cant put it in your mums name and have your name as a listed driver, this used to work but insurance companies arent stupid and have clamped down hard on this.

Getting a GTS would be a smart move until you have more experience under your belt, then make the move to a turbocharged import

if your parents are with NRMA then they will insure you. that is how i got mine insured. also under my dads name it is $2000 a yr to insure a r33 gtr which by far is the cheapest i have seen it. i know because i am a listed driver that if i am in an accident i need to pay an excess of $1500 but in my dads name it is $600.

Why cant your mate get insurance ?? is it cause no one WILL insure him or he just doesnt wanna pay ridiculous amounts ???

cause im pretty much the opposite of your mate (except in age)

im 22 now but i was 21 when i first insured my car (R34 gtt), I had numerous speeding fines, wrote off my last car and basically lost my liscence (except i didnt cause of some legal handywork..long story), with bodykit, rims, lowered and exhuast....all listed and the insurance came out to be just over 2.5k

which just goes to show the inconsistencies (spelling?) in the insurance process.

8ball - yeah mate you're right to own one, just save PLENTY of cash for insurance...as most ppl have said above. JustCar would be about the only company who would even insure you - i'm 24 and have a full no claim bonus and i still paid $1800...good luck dude

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.

      Car Rotisserie

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Hi guys, has anyone either purchased or built themselves a rotisserie for their car before? I can only just justify the need for one hence why I should just make one but at the same time, if I make one I can kiss another 4 weeks of potentially productive car working time goodbye because I'm building a bloody rotisserie....  I mainly want it for the application of the body deadener.  Cleaning the old stuff off, priming and then colour over the deadener doesn't worry me, it's just the application using the Schutz Gun that I feel would achieve a significantly better finish painting it side on and keeping the Schutz Gun upright.  I don't think they would work well on the side let alone almost upside down for some areas.  If the product I use (Terosun, etc) could work through a HVLP ok then it might be ok to apply without the rotisserie.   I can get one of these style ones for about $1200 which is pretty good value-     I reckon if I made one it would cost around $500 but it's more the time that it would take is more of a killer than the cost.  They look to hold their value pretty well second hand so I could always sell it after using it and realistically only lose $200-$300 at worst.  Or keep it and buy another project when this one finally sees the light of day... Anyone selling one...? Cheers!

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      While it is a very nice idea to put card style AFMs into the charge pipe (post intercooler, obviously), the position of the AFM and the recirc valve relative to each other starts to become something that you really have to consider. The situation: The stock AFM is located upstream the turbo, and the recirc valve return is located between the AFM and the turbo inlet, aimed at the turbo inlet, so that it flows away from and not through the AFM. Thus, once metered air is not metered again, neither flowing forwards, or backwards, when vented out of the charge pipe. When you put the AFM between the turbo outlet and the TB, there is a volume of pressurised charge pipe upstream of the AFM and there is a volume of pressurised pipe downstream of the AFM. When the recirc valve opens and vents the charge pipe, air is going to flow from both ends of the charge pipe towards the recirc valve. If the recirc valve is in the stock location, then the section between it and the TB doesn't really matter here - you're not going to try to put the AFM in that piece of pipe. But the AFM will likely be somewhere between the intercooler and the recirc valve, So the entire charge pipe volume from that position (upstream of the AFM, back through the intercooler, to the turbo outlet) is going to flow through the AFM, get registered as combustion air, cause the ECU to fuel for it, but get dumped out of the recirc valve and you will end up with a typical BOV related rich spike. So ideally you want to put the AFM as close to the TB as possible (so, just upstream of the crossover pipe, assuming that the stock crossover is still in use, or, just before the TB if an FFP is being used) and locate the recirc valve at the turbo outlet. Recirc valve at the turbo outlet is the new normal for things like EFRs anyway. In the even of a recirc valve opening dumping all the air in the charge pipe, pretty much all of it is going to go backwards, from the TB to the recirc valve near the turbo outlet. But only a small portion of it (that between the TB and the AFM) will pass through the AFM, and it will pass through going backwards. The card style AFMs are somewhat more immune to reading flow that passes through them in reverse than older AFMs are, so you should absolutely minimise the rich pulse behaviour associated with the unavoidable outcome of having both a recirc valve and an AFM in the charge pipe.

      Rb25det Belts Change

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yep, in my case as soon as I started hearing weird noises I backed off the tension until it sounded normal again. Delicate balance between enough tension to avoid that cold start slip and too much damaging things.
