Yea i pay very similar to this unfortunately... if it was stock/legal i would only pay about $990....

I am considering trying to get my car past the emssions test for this reason...

From memory i think i only claimed my exhaust as a mod too because thats all i have as a support mod for 400+awkw :thumbsup:. I pay very low considering my circumstances (age + mods + driving record from when i was a young sick k*nt in a NA skyrine thinking i was king lol).

With insurance and rego coming up again in a few months along with my TE37SL's wrapped in some quality rubber im definately going to tearing a big hole in my pocket :(

Tried Shannons but they didnt like my carport with a roller door. Said they wouldnt insure it unless its in a fully enclosed garage which is fair enough.

They are black and white about garaging which can certainly be frustrating. It would be nice if the underwriter did some underwriting and asked a few questions, because if it's under cover, off the street and out of view it's low risk.

matt...but could still be outside their u/w guidelines regardless of how low the risk is.

things have changed since you were at shannons.

I'm sure they certainly have - it was over 6 years ago. I suppose I'm coming from a commercial perspective where underwriters tend to consider the risk itself, rather than being so black and white.

Got a quote today for my R34 GTT sedan through Shannons, very bad driving record, lost license countless times, including instant loss for doing 155 in a 110 zone three years back, only one claim in 5 years which wasn't my fault (got rear ended)... I am 31, live in the bush and garage my cars... Quote was for $950 a year $500 excess..

Does this seem any good guys? Might call up Just Car and see what they can do.

I'm 31 mate. Thought it woulda been heaps as i was very open and honest driving history. I've racked up on average 1.5k worth of fines in the 12 years ive been driving and didn;t want any complications from that. Maybe the agreed value of 10k made it cheaper? Coz I know a lot of you guys would have it up around 15k yeah?

Is there any insurance company out there that insures weekend drivers ?

Or very low KM's ?

Besides Shannons.

I got a everyday daily car where i drive all day and night and the evo is like once a weekend car for me.

However im paying full rate at NRMA .. >.>

hi there dude, just checking out this insurance site your promoting, and as far as i could tell, they only offer MOTORBIKE insurance. seems strange to be a sponsor or endorsed by a MOTORVEHICLE site..... i got this from there site...

"

It's "weekend cars" rather than "weekend drivers" Longz

For a reasonable Sum Insured...

Choice is between...

* Shannon's

* Just Car

* Dawes (high end)

* Lumleys SV

* Piranha (is a broking firm)

I pay $2200 a year with RACQ insurance but thinking about swapping to NRMA as i can't get unlimited mods or windscreen protection with RACQ which is retarded.

I have a 2003 V35 Skyline 350GT coupe, i am 20 (21 next month) lost lisense just under 2 years ago for going 10km over the speed limit TWICE within a week at the SAME speed camera (hidden bastard), never had any accidents and live in a safe-ish area.

NRMA will charge me an extra $30ish a month which turns out being nearly $2600 a year to insure my car for agreed value at $26,000.

Shits not cheap for under 25 and a "unique" vehicle :/ i wish it was as cheap as my girlfriends Getz, she pays like $400 a year.

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
    • Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
