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:

      R34 Diff oil

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.

      Short shifter r34

      By Duncan · Posted

      How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box

      Short shifter r34

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Throws on the FS5R30A in most Nissans of this era are actually quite short and direct compared to any remotely modern BMW with the S6-53 transmission. Those things have throws a mile long with rubbery vague everything. Synchro issues combined with a short shifter is just going to break everything even faster.

      R34 Diff oil

      By Duncan · Posted

      Only thing I'd add...is on recommendation from a good diff shop, I've used mineral oil in my diff including the race car for years. The synthetics can be too slippery and glaze the gears
