Perhaps it was because I wanted full comprehensive but for my R33, series two, with only wheels and small sound system NRMA wanted over $4,500 and didn't ask if my licence had or had not been suspended, which it has. Justcar had all of my details and wanted $2,200.

Next time your insurance is up phone Justcar again, I will eat my shoes if NRMA beats the price of any of my insurance :(

if you drive a hatchback, have maximum no claim bonus, live in a decent suburb and are over 50, then NRMA becomes competitave. Otherwise they are a massive rip off.

i'm also with just cars, had a claim end of last year. They were very very good. i had a lot of probs trying to get parts as my car had all genuine Nismo parts. and as you all know nismo is no longer part of nissan. i wrote a very nasty email to just cars (in which the mail was past on to someone higher up along the chain) and she (from JCI) called nissan to find out whats happening and she got the ball rolling a lot faster. All in all very happy with JCI but not happy with nissan australia.

note: if you are currently with JCI and you have any major probs, let me know and i'll give you the email of the person from JCI that got things done for me.

i finally went with just cars, if only someone made a companny to compete with them famous want way 2 much, just cars is seriously taking advantage of this target group of car enthusists

Smart business strategy actually....

The thing about NRMA is that they don't want your car insurance. They want the whole shebang. If you insure your house with them (if you have one), Green Slip, have membership, etc, and are older, suddenly the picture changes dramatically...

Not good news for younger blokes, I know.

I went with NRMA, they were cheaper than just car. Even the guy on the phone was amazed at how cheap it was.

Paid $574 for 3rd Party + Fire and Theft, where as just car was more with just the 3rd party.

You may want to check they got exactly the right version. Not the non-turbo...

Advice from 8years of import car ownership

Just car - Expensive, not very good customer service but a friend made a claim and they looked after him.

Famous - Read the fine print, I didnt feel the policy was comforting. They also had (2004 era) poor customer service).

Shannons - Brilliant! They have had my gtst for 5-6 years now.

thought I'd bring this thread back and keep info up to date

my experience:

tried GIO but they don't take any new business for custom car insurance, referred me to just cars

LSV don't do modern cars anymore (apparently) I know a few V35 guys who are with lumley :banana:

shannons referred me to Just car as I am under 25 and they don't want to tread on their sister companies toes, the rep told me to give them a ring after I turn 25

already with Just car,

22 west sydney (mt druitt-oh yeah!)

Maximum no claim

$1989 full comp, may get cheaper if I bump up the excess

$35 maximum no claim protection option, bastards, I've been "stuck" with just cars for 5 years and I have to pay to protect my no claim?

    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
