Hey,

In General section there have been many threads on this issue.

Please use search function next time :D

btw - everyone is different. what you pay, what the next person pays is different. No one will pay the same so there really is no point asking what others pay.

Age, driving experience, claims history, fines/loss of licences, garaging location, usage, no claims bonus, EVERYTHING is different :D

edit - just saw your in Bankstown....there is half your answer!

What's your driving history like? I must admit, normally, if it is modified, and you're under 25, it's your only choice...

and you should have done insurance already man, I know you have the car, I don't want to see it being another one of those "My car got stolen" threads :D

Also, listen to Mr Weevil, I see him reading, he knows his insurance :D

Hey guys.

Just did a quote on JUSTCAR and got $4711 for comprehensive!!

For gods sake what the hell !!

How much does your's cost and where from!

How old are you? any accident history?

I'm 21, no accidents (except when I hit a 'roo, which they don't count as my fault) and with Shannons. They were about $1100 for full comp, with a $900 excess... that's on my stockish R33 in Melbourne, covered for $12,000. Just Cars were gonna about $1500/year... When I got the 'line I had just turned 19 and it was around $1900/yr, with a $1800 excess... but at the time I figured Shannons wouldn't touch me (age) and didn't even try. This year when my insurance came around a mate recommended me to give them a go, and they were fantastic!

When i moved up to Sydney from Melbourne (3 years ago), i was shocked at the insurance costs up here. I had a 2003 Integra Type R.

Insurance in melbourne was $500. When i moved to sydney (wiley park, which is even worse than bankstown) >$4000. When they gave me the quote, I nearly had a heart attack.

So i told them thanks but no thanks, got married, sold the car and had kids. hahaha.

edit: now for some actually helpful info, i was quoted about $2200 for comp insur through just car, and slightly higher for shannons (shannons wants a longer driving history - 4 years as opposed to just cars 3 years)). If you've got suspensions in your history, expect to get charged a big premium

Best insurance company is famous for imports.

LOL, You could take that a few ways, and i did :D Here's a tip

The company is not called 'Best Insurance', famous for its import insurance

It wasn't a statement that the best insurance company is famously known for imports.

The company is CALLED 'famous'.

I'm not slow, ok?

currently with Just cars 3rd party fire and theft only. $600 something

changing to Shannon's in November $1376 a year for $12000. excess wasn't much.

with Shannon's i was told the car needs to be in a lock up garage when at home address

and because my bad driving history was more then 5yrs ago im all sweet.So nothing

to worry about or no extra charges.

Oh yeh and thats on a partially driven car rate.

i was told to add 6-700 ontop if it was a daily driver.

im 25 on full license and located at Doonside.

Goodluck with it,atleast get 3rd party.

+ a Thumbs up to the dude at Shannon's. :D

i'm sorry mate but this whole excercise is pointless. even if everyone post up how much they pay it doesn't help you one bit, unless you live in the same house as them, are the same sex, the same age, put your car in the same garage, drive the same number of kms, have the same model of car, with the same modifications, the same alarm and have the exact same driving history. unless you can say yes to all those things then your quote will most likely be different.

just shop around, call as many companies as you can. and be honest about your driving history and your circumstances.

Im just going to add dont use famous.. Go GIO car insurance you can use the car however you wish as long as your not under the influence or doing anything illegal and your covered.

Most other policies only cover you 1 day a week, only parked in particular areas, no street parking etc. Read the whole policy before you take it out and as for a faxed copy of the transcript when you take out the policy and ask heaps of questons.

thats it :D

eg: you say to your insurance company you drive 1 days a week, garaged at a certain location etc etc, you sleep over your girlfriends house and have no choice but to park on the street, car gets stolen and you go to make a claim, your insurance company wont pay you out :thumbsup:

? what do you mean? Most companies dont cover you for daily use? Didnt I just say that? Thats why I suggested GIO.

Sorry, I was too lazy to make a proper reply. Most insurance companies will tell you they won't insure you overnight unless you are 500m or more away from the garage location. They won't cover you if you don't have a proper alarm etc.. and they definatly won't cover you if you are under the influence of alcohol and drugs or breaking any laws. It covers there arse.

I have been quoted through GIO but they wouldn't cover me for more then 9k but there policy was the cheapest ($1200) or something like that. Famous have done the best deal besides Shannons and I can't change to Shannons at the moment as we have a communal garage.. and they know my every move *hides*

      Welcome back to the scene! Godzilla Motorsports were well regarded back in the day.  My GT-R had work done there prior to my ownership.   SRS (Street Race Solutions) in Toowoomba worth a look.  They've built some pretty wild Skylines. Their YouTube channel is comedic to watch!  I'm sure they're all on the glass BBQ but they get shit done! 🤣

      Rv37 400r questions

      Hard to say what the extra connector is, it looks a bit like a coax type connector, so possibly a separate radio/GPS antenna, or even another camera input?  The V37 series (including the Q50), did go through a model refresh in 2020, since Australia didn't get any Q50s newer than 2019, we didn't get any of the refreshed models, so there could also be other unexpected problems to overcome to swap an older Q50 head unit into a new model V37. There probably aren't too many people around that have made these sorts of changes to a Q50/V37, so you might end up being the first if you do decide to go ahead. ACP is Apple Car Play and AA is Android Auto, they are roughly the same thing for the 2 major phone operating systems (Apple's iOS and Android), it allows you to connect your phone and access a number of your phone applications on your car system.  With Nav apps included, so you could use google maps/Waze or whatever your favourite navigation app is, instead of using the built in navi system.  I think this would be a better solution if it is only Navigation that you are looking as swapping the head unit for. GPS signals are the same around the globe as the GPS satellites continuously circle the globe, but it is the head unit that doesn't allow you to load Australian maps, or at least no-one had made an Australian map that will load up on the JDM head unit. Regarding the TV standards, I assume you are referring to the AV inputs?  I haven't ever tried to use them, Japan used a slightly modified version of the US NTSC system, and Australia uses PAL for composite video, that said, I wouldn't be surprised if a video input could work with either system.  That is mostly irrelevant here though, unless you plan to use those inputs for something?

      How much roughly to convert stock r32gtr to single high mount turbo + ecu and tune

      By admS15 · Posted

      If you've got bucket loads of $. Go single. If not, just upgrade the twins, Garrett -9's or whatever the current equivalent is for a healthy 350awkw and leave it at that. Will probably still cost you 10k to do in this day and age.
