I'm looking at buying a Supra. Have applied with both Famous and Just Cars. Will be interested to see what the figures are. I've been with Just Cars before and they've taken care of me. On that basis alone, I'm leaning towards them already.

**** me drunk..... $2722 from JCI. I'm 26 years old, last accident was 3 years ago as well as my last speeding fine.

This is ridiculuous. Not even counting the eleventy billion dollars they want in excess fees should something goes wrong. I was quoted $1700 when I was looking at an R32 GTR (not modified) and Honda Integra Type R.

I'm going to wait and see what Famous offer me.

Got a call yesterday from Robin @ Famous. She gave me $2700. When I mentioned that I had received other quotes and mentioned Just Cars had given me the same figure she immediately dropped it to $2500.

I also asked about the monthly installments and how that works. I was quite happy. I was a little sketchy about the requirements thing for leaving it on the road things like that so I asked. She said it was primarily to prevent people leaving it on the street overnight while they slept. So it's one thing if you go out to a nightclub all night and leave it on the street, it's another if you crash a mates place and leave it on the street and it gets burged.

I will read the fine print more closely but to be honest I'm almost definitely going with Famous I have to say.

Shannon's were nice but they just couldn't help me. Robin at Famous was great. :rofl:

I am with famous, 1,500 with 1,000 excess. They dont care what mods you have as long as they are legal. they want receipts for all mods, and pics of engine, interior and exterior. Minimum 3 point immobiliser. Will cover custom paint jobs, but not harlequin paint and get to choose own repair shop.

Just cars quoted 1,570, BUT with a 1,700 excess (WTF??). So chose Famous instead. Havent needed t make a claim (touch wood) so dont know about their claim service.

Oh that is for 1995 R33 gtst with a few mods, and over 30 yrs.

Drivebai: I have front mount too, sent them receipts and all is good. havent been asked to prove if any mod I have is legal so far. maybe at worst they could reques an engineer certificate, but I just plucked that one. about to send off some more mods to them, let you know if I have any dramas. Dont quote me , but I believe that if you dont declare mods, a claim can be refused, (dont know anyone that has been in that situation though)

Didn't know whether to tell em about it.. how can you prove if its legal..

Declare it. They know about mine and it's all ok.

I think there are a couple of people who have written about making claims with Famous in this thread. If not there is another thread somewhere in this section where they talked about it. From what I can remember there were no issues because all of their stipulations were followed (the main ones being parked in your own garage overnight if at home, and telling them about all the mods). No one had their car stolen from their own garage either I think. Which is good :P

I'd search for the exact posts for you but I'm at work (well, really it's because I'm lazy)

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      Mechanic in Victoria

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
