can anyone tell me who to contact for an online quote? its a bit hard for phone at the moment as im overseas. I'm having a hard time getting agreed value and additionally because my car is back in melb its not insured and registered (cancelled those before i left). JCI and shannons wont give quotes through email etc. but dont seem to give agreed value if i change the options around a bit to say its already registered.

Hopefully you get a response, otherwise I can dig out an email address for a contact I used there - except it's at work. I think his name was Brendan?

Emails are better than speaking over the phone for making a contract - it's all recorded as it went. Although domestic undwriters probably prefer to know who they are speaking to, hence the phone thing.

bugger.. got the shannons renewal today and it looks like the r32 agreed value dropped quite a lot :D like 1.5 or maybe 2k (will have to dbl check)

(although the premium dropped around $40 a month which is good, possibly 'no claim' & age related)

thanks a lot gtr-32 mate, its too hard for me to go by phone just for quotes, obviously ill make the effort to wake up in middle of the night if its to arrange a contract or something, but to go around rining around for quotes its a bit hard. ill email the address u gave me.

cheers mate.

Two40,

Just out of curiosity, does your Famous policy cover you as a daily driver, or is it "weekend only" like Shannon's ? I'm in Sydney, rating 1 (70% NCB), low-risk postcode, over 30 & my best quote has been $2100 from Suncorp-Metway - and the car is totally stock !!

Also do they have the "10yr old" clause - where if your car is more than 10yo whilst under the policy, said policy then becomes null & void ? (beware of this trap !).

Forgive my interrogative style, but usually when something appears too good to be true it often is.

Cheers.

OUCH! I got quoted $1099 for a GTS-t by JustCar (Im 25)

today i called every insurance company conceivable. None would cover me except for just car. my own fault though, i only had my licenbce for a year and ive lost it for 3 months of that :P and in the same accident had a $15,000 claim. some of them just didnt cover imports, some didnt cover young drivers, some didnt cover young people in turboas and the rest combinations of those. and the ones that probably would of covered me were dettered by my accident history. ( only the one ) so now im stuck with a $2639 premium and a $2500 excess:'(

heres hoping i dont have any accidents lol

Wtf.

I've had my license for 5 months (haha) and no claims or fines (as you'd assume @ 5 months) and my premium WAS $2800 but was raised to $3500 because the car is financed.

God damn Just Cars being the only ones that'll insure an 18yr old.

For a R33 GTR with minor mods, i found JCI to be the cheapest for my situtation.

21 y.o. male

Location: Bankstown/Yagoona area

Daily car

Private use

No Claim Bonus 60+%

No claims or thefts and no suspensions

Obtained licence in 2002

Amount covered $30,000

Premium Comprehensive $2,036

Excesses

Standard $600

Plus Vehicle $1,000

Age Excesses

Male Drivers Aged 16 - 21 $700

Excess is abit steep, but the premium is what i found to be fairly cheaper then the other quotes ive received.

lower premium is more important to me, cos even though thats why we get iunsurance no one plans on having a major accident, so hopefully i will never need to claim, therefore pay my excess :unsure:

Their website just says no to under 20's, so give em' a call.

If my car wasn't financed I wouldn't bother with comprehensive right now, at 3.5k its almost 1/4 what I am paying for the car.

yeh but what if car gets written off ? i know no one plans on it but no one is phsycic :laugh:

    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
    • Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys. 
    • So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!
    • If you really want squish back, you can have it put on the piston (at least to some extent).
    • Impressive. He's very very smooth.
