They covered fibre glass on mine, sometimes you may need to get the panel shop to make up false dockets for you (most panel shops will as long as they get paid they don't care). Just car are quite expensive but are usually the only people that will cover anyone sub 23yrs old. As soon as someone gets over 23 you'd be nuts to not at least shop around.

Yes this is true you can get a quote 'altered' although when they send photo's of the damage to the insurer or they send out an assesor to inspect the car it does become very hard to get around it.

As soon as im 25 i will be changing to shannons.

Had a fiberglass bonnet come up un my GTR and they would not cover a new bonnet they would only pay for the damage caused by it and i did have it on my policy..

Cheers

Sorry forgot to add R34 GTR 23years old my premium is $1200 rating one..

By the time i added

$400 standard excess

$1000 vehicle excess

$600 age excess

And had to buy a bonnet as it was not covered it was cheaper not to use the insurance anyways.

No faults found yet with Just Cars. H2P was quite expensive comparitively. A word of advice, with high excesses you may aswell write the car off.

Lot of cars as a percentage from Just Cars at the damaged auctions so one can only assume they arent too fussy and dont knock too many back . Personally , Iv had no issues though I havent had to claim yet

what if you mod along the way, can you let them know and add it to the policy ?

It's advisable to do that. You can ask them that firstly as a hypothetical question.

Then if they say "YES", at least the mods are covered. If you don't ask, the mods are not covered.

Cost? I upgraded the mods list on my car recently by $2200 and I only have to pay $12 extra per year in premium.

But that was with a different insurance company.

So long as you tell Just Car, Shannons, Famous or Guild Insurance about those mods + and so long as they aren't responsible for an 'at fault' crash, you are still covered.

Guild Insurance?

If you are part of a business, medical practice, dental practice, physiotherapy practice or pharmacy, they will cover Skylines.

And guess what?

Premium with Just Car used to be $2068 on maximum 'no claim bonus' for my R33 GT-R & insured for $27K with $600 excess.

Premium with Guild Insurance has dropped to $870 for 'agreed value' again, insured for $25K with $500 excess.

I just switched!!! ;)

this post got my attention - but i dont think i qualify with guild as i have no association with a business :down:

shannons insurance for me increased from 1600 to 3300 as im upgrading my gtr, what a joke!

Dude dont get me started justcarsucks

They took 2 months to fix my car and they didn't fix the turbo after the accident and tried to say that the turbo wasn't damaged in the accident I had to fight them for it and that rook a year and I got nowhere as I couldn't prove that te turbo was fine bedew the accident. R33 87000kms never boosted past stock

I hate them but can't find another insurer so im stick using them

Guild Insurance?

This has got my attention & got me thinking.

Since my mum is a Doctor & is part of some medical organization would it work if I changed my car's ownership to her name & then got insurance with Guild insurance & list me as the primary driver?

Currently paying ~$1100 (thats with AD-Adjust) for my R33 (rating 3 with perfect driving record).

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
    • Twas your car many moons ago that gave me the idea!
