23yo male

$1060 per year.

Insured for $19,000 incl mods (18's, bov, bodykit, exhaust, stereo, momo wheel, turbo timer, pod, strut brace blah blah).

i realy hate these threads :P

22... $3200/yr... :(

btw everyone, remember if you got illegal mods like a boost controller or a bov and you have an accident just cars wont pay you out a cent.

True?? I'm going to read up my policy on that one. Seems stupid if they're willing to list it as a mod and not cover you.

When i took out my policy they said that they wont cover you if you FAIL to notify them of mods (eg: bov, turbo, suspension etc..). As long as you keep them updated it should be fine.

No the mods that are on the car also have to be legal, (ie your bov can't vent to atmo etc). I have a fried who works for an assesor, and basically he said that they're pretty lacked about basic mods like that, its illegal ones like: Having no cat, or mods which are illegal and downright dangerous like cut springs, or putting your rolling diametre out by 4 cm's without recalibrating your speedo, that they are concerned about.

I was also under that impression.. but i called them up to double check (i was having this same discussion with someone a few weeks ago)

they say they will cover you... but if you read there terms and conditions it ses

if you have anything illegal fitted to your car you will not be covered.

I told them about my safc/boost controller and they charged me the extra $40 or $50..... then when i asked them if im covered they said its my responsibility to make sure nothing illegal is fitted to the car... they clearly said 'no you wont be covered'

its an insurance company... there going to be looking for any excuse not to pay you..... Maybe its abit more strict in victoria or something... but i reckon all you guys should ring up and double check, cause there terms and conditions policy overrule your policy.

yeah but all they need is 1 little excuse not to pay you... lets say you have an illegal bov...

option a) they can be nice and pay you out evan if though they dont legaly have to

option B) they can stick to there terms and conditions and pay you nothing :P

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
