So I had quotes of Shannons and Just cars for my S1 RS4..

The Shanonns quote was the cheapest, but had all the usual crap shannons conditions like the car can't be visible from the street etc.. Just cars was through the roof ($1500 yr + stupidly high excess). So I talked to GIO about their new custom car insurance. They gave me a quote of $1400 with no restrictions, a decent excess, windscreen protection, 65% no claim with lifetime protection etc..

So I told them it was a fair bit higher than the shannons quote and they told me to fax a copy of it through as company policy is to beat any quote by $50! So I got the car fully insured, with all the bells and whistles, for $14,000, for $980 per year!

Give them a try! Or just get quotes through someone else and get them to beat it,

choice of repairer, lifetime warranty on repairs etc.. as well. :cheers:

Cheers,

Michael

i gave them a ring, gave me the best quote i had recieved.

then they told me it was a wrong quote and it ended up being 2400...for a stock S1.

wasnt even paying that much for my old modified r32...

and they werent nice to me as well.

but hope all ends up being good for you, i have been dicked around by insurance companies so many times...

and the quote u got, was pretty much exactly the same as what i got. how old are you?

they said that they will insure a s2 99 but not a 2000. I expaned to them that they are the same car, but that didnt seem to matter as apparently there are not enough s2 2000 models in Australia for there requirements. Just cars quoted me $1158 so i guess i will be going with them.

well, when i first rang, i got a quote for a 1997 S1 stagea. told him my age and all that crap.

the dude gave me a rating one for some reason. now i didnt take the quote out straight away as i had not decided what stagea to purchase first.

rang back about 1 1/2 weeks later and spoke to a lady, and she said that the quote was totally wrong, and that i shouldnt have been a rating one. even tho i had the quote numbers and all, she said nah we cant do it, the first guy had stuffed up, the new quote is $2,200....

and i was not going to pay that much.

this was a couple of months ago, but thats the jist of what happened.

How old are you? and have you had any accidents?

if you got your license when you were 18 then we'll give you a Rating 2. If you still have the original quote number sitting around somewhere can you PM it to me? I'll have a look at it....

yeh i got my license when i was 18 and a bit.

no, i dont have the quote numbers im sorry.

    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
    • Stock O2 sensors are narrowband. They're useless once you're away from stoich. IE, useless for what you're trying to do. 10:1 will read the same as 14:1 from the stock O2 sensors. That is, they'll read rich. The same level of rich.
    • I agree once misfires happen it's basically worthless, but the hope is you can see what's happening in the run up to that. 
    • You should totally get a Brumby, and then come pick up the Subaru Liberty GTB I have here. EJ25 Turbo, 6 speed manual from the sti (just no dccd), and the good rear diff. Drop all that into a Brumby and go have fun!
