Thanks all i have made a short list of other potential insurers and will be contacting them all.

It's funny that with shannons, i was told that once i turned 25 my prem. will drop under $2000. When my rennual came it increased from $2100 to $2300, through no doing of my own. When i questioned why this was they simply said "due to the amount of claims made with my type of vehicle". So no matter how carful i am on the road if some other idiots (non of them on this forum, i'm sure :) ) keep having accidents i will still be stung. WHAT B.S.!!!

I was paying $4000 frm CGU w3nkers via Heath Lambert that decided to terminate carriage for import cars insurance, then went to Just cars for $4200.00 ... after three years, ive paid over $12K in insurance which neva gave me one moment of benefit... bsides the odd... peace of mind.

now that ive handled sooo many sore ongoing costs amplifying legal matters in relation to insurance failing to pay up to our clients due to some minor excuses about legality of certain modifications, certain obl. to inform them of every mineut details, certain minor breachs in cond of car etc etc that ends up them not accountable to the policy, its a forever ending battle.....

i don't believe in insurance anymore.

just got third party.

a muthda fooken good alarm.

don't park anywhere for more than 20minutes... (it only takes that long)

and have a second car or three.

i'm with you miz 33t... just get third party and have a bomb or co car for daily driver or beater as the yanks like to call it.. Shit if you are paying 4 grand a year in ten years you could have bought a gtr with that cash. and insurance costs are only gunna to go up... its rape and pillage. yes and a damm good alarm ..

btw off top nice dawn run pics. esp u and mona heheh

Just to clarify,

Im 22 in June.

Clean record up until Nov 2002. now only 1pt.. who cares (no insurance anyway.)

My car is considerably, uninsurabally modified.

Anything that goes beyond the general/specific modifications that are a high canditate or remotely an epa/rta suspectible victim is also uninsurable.

But i guess, the only way to find out if u have wasted several years of hard earned thousand of dollars on a "'strong as oak' policy", is to have ur car stolen or raped, then try to lodge a claim.

anywayz..

goodluck to all!

we all living in this ridiculously high cost of living society surrounded by prick ass companies making the use and abuse of us paw ppl with their obtuse, stringent and unrealistic parametuers... ^_^

hahahah dun worrie... im just a bitter ol' hag.

hey hippy, I use torque underwriting too, do a search, there is an old thread with insurance co names and numers.

As for company car, the only way to get a better deal than retail is to lease thru someone and get insured on their fleet. My car is just insured directly so I just get the regular price. Still pretty good though, about 2100 for 28yo, 97 GTST

This is the one reason for selling my good old Skyline R-33 GTS-t.. Damn insurance.. Call me a traitor, about to get into a 400HP GSR Lancer 4wd.. Funny thing about this though i am paying less than half the amount for insurance.. And the Lancer will be nearly twice as powerful?? Figure that out.....

fark that, nice avatar...

Im with franks though on this, id never buy a car and not insure it... When i had the 994t porsche, the insurance went up to $9000 per annum, i wasnt going to pay that so i sold the car... never did it cross my mind to drive it without comprehensive, accidents do happen....

thats just my opinion anyway...

    • Last year I got a set of MCA street coilovers for my turbo Forester after my son hitting a concrete gutter/wall on a small bridge causing the whole drivers side suspension to get bent because the rain just made the car slide out I love them, I think they were $2400. even had a hiccup of have the wrong hub configuration (my fault) so got onto MCA and they sent the correct shock ends overnight parts from QLD, for free!  I was very impressed with their customer service and quality of the product  
    • They've had some weird failures on their brake actuators. One of them was because they added some kind of lubricant to the factory fill brake fluid that aftermarket brake fluid didn't have so it would affect the seals. Another was just mysterious, probably internal corrosion or something eating away at Prius brake actuators. Parts alone for those are a few thousand USD so not a cheap fix.

    • KYBs are typically twin tube, putting them in the lower tier of desireability. Do you just want to replace worn out ones for the lowest cost? I mean, you wouldn't just replace one end of a car, if the rears are a similar age to the fronts, then they are probably nowhere near what they should be, and likely won't be great against brand new fronts. So, to spend ~$800 on 2nd tier dampers, when you could get a decent set of MCA coilovers for <$4k.....? As to the strut tops. 1st up, the Sparesbox site specifically tells you that they are not correct for an R33. Beyond that, why do you think you need them?
