Could someone help me, who has found the best deal for a weekend driven R32 GTR and im 24. so far shannons have given me 1400 (with a few basic mods) for i think i should be able to do better than that?

thats not bad dude. i pay more than that for a 200 with minimal mods (... i havent updated a few grand worth of stuff...).

Time to renew my insurance;

Called Justcar to check out what they have to offer. Given a list of my mods (not a lot) they can only do $22k max value. This would cost me $1439 per year premium, an excess of $400 if damaged and a special theft excess of $1400... *ahem*

Called shannons (my current) and listed 4 more mods that I'd put on over the year and removed one that I'd reverted to stock - Agreed value for $25k with a premium of $1454 and an excess of $500 regardless of what happens to the car. Am gonna go to shannons this weekend with the car cleaned and my folder full of invoices and documentation regarding the car in the hope of getting the agreed value to $30k, maybe a tad higher *fingers crossed*

-D

counting down the days til i can access Shannons car insurance.

i dont know how i can but i am with them as well......will be calling them sometime soon and finding out what my new policies are for the renewed insurance :ermm:

i rang around today to find Famous wont insure me anymore some crap about not having a car port :D

so i though ah crap im stuck with just cars so i rang him and was pleasantly surprised

1994 R33 GTS4

Mods:

Turbo engine

coils

strut bars

bigger brakes

braided lines

5 stud conversion

rims

ECU

GTR seats

rims

dvd player

alarm/ immobiliser

excess $400 / Premium $831 agreed value $16,000

pretty stoked with that as 3 years ago they were only offering $16,000 and a little over $1000 Premium

i can drop the premium if i raise the excess

excess $1000 / Premium $500 agreed value $16,000

Eventionly and finally remembered to give just cars a call and tell them the mods iv done to the car, pretty much just stage one of modifications but told them in detail. They added another $56 ontop of my payment for telling them what I had done to the car, also agreed value went up $4000 wtf. Renewel will be in the mail at the end of next month. I'll probably up the excess as I don't drive it everyday. It will be interesting to see what the payment will be.

aussie delivered market cars are easier to get hold of parts too. not too sure it would have a whole lot in compared to the theft factor. Don't hear of too many R34's being stolen

The older WRX's were a huge theft target a while back.

Not sure how they would go trying to steal mine. I have to put a code in just to start it! Haha

You would think more people would be crashing WRXs then non turbo skylines though....

Either way I cant complain, I have a newer, faster and more expensive car, and my insurance is less! =Win

and that is why wrx's have user coded ignition systems now. they never had them until every man and his dog started stealing wrx's.

just added a vz commy too my shannons policy that i bought for the mrs to run around in . now have the r33 my falcon wagon and the vz it didnt go up as much as i expected .discount for 3 cars maybe .

In light of my recent and not so recent failures to access a quote from Shannons, i thought, after being inspired by the recent AAMI TV ads, id express my concern in song. To the tune of what about me, Shannon Noll & various other artists:

My insurance was up for renewal when i crash into a sudden holt

My excess was raised,

My agreed value dropped,

Ive had it with my insurer, i wanna bolt.

So i rang up Shannons,

Got knocked to the ground,

So i came on SAU to scream,

What about me?

I am the same

I've had enough I want access

Cant you see

I want Shannons

But they wont let me access

What about me?

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
