I am happy now :sorcerer: I can pay by the month with Shannons with no penalty $77/month to be with someone I want to be with. Always garaged, 3 point black wired immoboliser/alarm. Area is considered moderate for theft not high.

I agree! If I really wanted the car that bad it would honestly make me think $8400 for a $35000 car Hmmmmmm Should I even bother insuring it at all or at least consider just 3rd party insurance. I have discussed it with him and he doesn't seem to mind paying it for now (more money than sense I reakon) He is a semi high flyer for his age. He had a huge accident about a year ago that caused his dilema involving many cars not just his own.

I know a 19 YO paying $8400/year with Just cars for a GTR Not sure on Excess but would be a killer. Bad record.

I got a quote a year ago and ran with it $1500 now renewal is same with $1600 excess on top of that if I make a claim but $800 less coverage on total value of car than last year and they wouldn't budge a cent when ringing them, so yea that's the reason I wanted to drop them like a hot potato

I have had 1 fine in 25 years LOL it was 2 months ago way after I got my Just cars quote a year ago for $1500. Just shows there is huge variance between companies based on whatever seems to be the thought of the day huh? I have never made a claim against an insurance company in that time either!

What I have found is once you are with an insurance company, they think they have you and drop the total coverage every year but up the price. It seems crazy to me if they want to keep your business! I don't think Shannons use that equation though. I think they use an agreed price and keep the premiums relatively the same year to year. Most mainstream Insurance companies use my first sentence as a sentence for being with them untill you decide to piss them off.

I said I was over 30! I am 42 LOL. So I thought it was a bit rich charging me $1500 + $1600 excess for a claim when I have not ever made a claim and have 1 speeding offence in 25 years driving. Apparently I was right at the end of the day! Suncorp quoted me $1300 but included 14 days car hire with every claim. Nice but not nice enough.

It's all relative dude! When you reach 21 you will wish you are 18 again and be willing to pay a big premium for it Thanks for the link!

Thanks everyone for your advise, Chris from Shannons was cool as and came back with around $900 and $500 excess for $15000 cover. Just cars $1500 + $1600 if a claim is made and they wouldn't budge at all. I also received a quote from Torque for $699 with $500 excess for $16400 agreed cover (pending photos of the vehicle) before speaking to Chris. I just need to mull up my options now, but will more than likely go with Shannons for the name and reputation as I can't seem to find much info on Torque's reputation.

Thanks heaps mate! I would really like to get with them as I have workmates who have been with them for years who say good things!

Yea thanks, I might try one more time. NRMA will insure it for $3096 LMAO, for that money I may as well take my chances on a $13000 car! Suncorp will do it for $1300 incl 14 days car hire if needed and lifetime current no claim bonus protection. Still more than I have at this stage without going onto real bad debt.

They asked me a list of questions IE am I in a car club, Do I go to shows, Do I go to rally races etc This was last year and I said no to all, they said I am not enough of an enthusiest and put me on to Just cars. I called back Shannons again the other day to try for this year and he looked up my previous call based on my name from previous year and said can't do as it was knocked back last time. I am quite dumbfounded as to why they won't insure me based on my age and driving record. It seems there is only Shannons and Just cars to choose from unless someone can suggest someone else?

Hi, I have a R33 Import, I tried getting with Shannons but they reakon I am not enough of an enthusiest so knocked me back so I went with Just Car Insurance but they are like $1500/year with $1600 basic excess and it is up for renewal. Does anyone know of a better option as I have full no claim bonus and am over 30 with no traffic offenses. I wont be able to renew at the end of the month unless i can find a less expensive alternative and will probably have to sell the car as I wont drive it with no insurance. Is 3rd party an option? If so who with? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks mate! It's definately a starting point for me! I went to Repco today but they had nuthin in catalogues etc, They wanted me to take the 3 belts off for sizing....

Hi, I'm sure someone here would have had to have sourced them from somewhere. There are 3 fan belts I am trying to source. The mechanic didn't even have R33's referenced at all in his book and I was hoping someone here could point me in the right direction as mine need replacing. We got numbers off 2 of them but the 3rd one was worn off but they were all original nissan belts.

Here's a pic... I'm guessing it's glass..

Hi, I recently pushed my spoiler into a high Gutter and the left side is now cracked on both sides of the lower support of the spoiler... Can I get this plastic welded or is it fibreglass? Any advice would be welcomed as I don't want to push it at high speed with strong wind against it.
