I'm thinking of going onto a low usage insurance policy, as in the last year I've just done 8000kms...

So, for those of you who use their car for daily purposes or weekend warriors, how many kays do you do a year?

You can use the poll if you'd like

:cheers:

When i used 2 drive my Skyline 2 work everyday i was racking up about 15,000kms per year.

Now i drive my shitbox 2 work most days & keep the liner mainly 4 weekend & short trips during the week & occasionally 2 work.

I am now on an 8,000kms per year policy ($90 something per month, can't complain) so i should be pretty safe with this, not 2 mention less wear & tear etc. also.

the skyline is our only car, so we rack up a few kays in it;

got it 67k, up to 105 now and ive had it for just two years :(

saddens me to see so many ks going on, but on the flip side, i get to drive it heaps, so im happy as well

25000kays in 6 months i am the winner (so Far)

I did 8000kay in just under 3 months :kick:

I guess it would depend how many kays you drive each week.. No idea if you take the skyline out on the weekends, and do the "hey look at me" posing laps ect. I was surprised at how many kays I was doing just driving around on the weekend.

i am a whore and so's my car :wassup:

Hey Ronin 09,

I was thinking the same thing. Ihave had my line 4 over a year and have only done just over 6000km.  

Which insurance company were you looking at going with???

I got a quote from famous 4 $2000 for this kind of classic cover.

Brendan

hey brendan, what rating are you?

Shannons want about 2100 for rating one 8000km/year

:)

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
