1997 stagea rb25det auto - $1150

1997 stagea with rb26 and manual $1200

thats from just cars for 22 year old, very good driving record, and 60% no claims.

couldnt believe its only $50 more for a rb26, just shows they dont have a clue  :D

note: both qoutes the car was valued at $20K

yours is RB27 isnt it?? :D

Would they not let u insure it for anymore than $20K or is that all u wanted to insure it for?

I'd try a couple more times to try and get a good quote, as that seems fairly high. For example I am 22, 40% NCB, and drive an R33 GTR with a few mods, and im only paying $1700! Car is insured for $40,000.

I am in the country, and i have a clean record, so maybe that has something to do with it?

Maybe try to get a higher no claims bonus? I joined just cars with 3rd party only (on my old r33 gtst) for 2 years, and then upgraded to comprehensive, and they convert over the NCB from third party to comprehensive.

yer thats all i said to insure it for, as i was in a hurry to get cover and i planned on taking it in for evaluation at a later date, but its getting abit extreme with the big single turbo and shit to pass as a stock engine :D

but i think you'd find the premium a little higher than $2400 a year.

seriously.

nah not neccessarily, depends on quite a few things. there a limited use policies, for example, which can make the premium much cheaper too....

Or it could be BS :D

Ahhh thats cool that Just Cars will do evaluations, I never knew that :)

    • Means something is not set up right, tune/calibration related.  
    • Finally replaced the previous temporary mesh indicator surrounds (temporary was the last 10+ years 😂) with a 3D printed GTR style version for the front indicators. I think it looks a lot nicer than the old setup and at least the indicators now point in the correct direction rather than angled off. Needed a little bit of tweaking to deal with the intercooler piping but got there in the end. Old and new photos below. 
    • It's weird to me that you say this because I'm pretty sure locals with relatively standard standalone tunes (boost/barometric compensated alpha-N) still have driveability issues when they pop intercooler hoses. Maybe with enough data I can just train some kind of model that spits out an expected grams/cyl given every sensor input except MAF like what FCA did with their Pentastar 3.6 ECU logic. Basically stock everything. The main motivation honestly is to have a sensor that can be a decent baseline source of truth. In scenarios you're describing obviously it won't work every time but it seems to me the number of corner cases that exist in MAF load is maybe not as severe and difficult to manage vs ITB alpha-N with some MAP/barometric compensation.
    • What are your plans for your blow off valves? Purely plumb back? How soft will the spring in them be? AFM can be tricky to get super smooth and nice, especially depending on the rest of the system, and then can be very easily upset if something slightly changes. IE, even if you run recirc blow off valves, you could still see issues getting it to behave at certain load points as turbos might start to spool, but you release the throttle but it's not enough pressure to crack the bov open to recirc, and you can end up with reversion which can cause double metering, and hence dumping of fuel into the system, and stalling the engine.   If you're going to run a map sensor for closed loop boost control from the ECU, what makes you want to keep the AFM?    
    • It's not bad, it's just not flexible. And say if you have any leaks between the MAF and plenum, well then your load axis goes out the window. Here's a real world scenario, I blew off an intercooler hose last track day, as the clamp decided to Bluetooth itself somewhere. Still continued to do 2 laps and drive it to the pub for a couple of beers then home. Good luck doing that with a MAF setup
