Ok mangs, for those that either have or are currently studying at UQ, where's the best parking? I start at 8am Monday and Tuesday so I'll be getting to campus around 7:30. Is there any all day casual parking that is also undercover?

Woohoo. Just renewed my insurance with NRMA.

Guys with insurance with Justcar you might want to check your excess. Although I bumped the excess up to max to reduce the premium ($900 PA with what I thought was $1500 excess) but I didnt realise they have another $1000 excess for theft and another "Vehicle Excess" which I think is due to the type of vehicle insured. Meaning I'll need to pay $2.5k for any claims and $3.5k for a theft claim! To make things worse, this is based on the old mod list and when I tried adding more things to the list online, the premium sky rocketed (around $1.6k with $600 excess with $1000 vehicle excess and $1000 theft excess).

Called NRMA up and got quoted flat $600 excess with an annual premium of $1250. Having said that Shannon would be my choice if they would insure me but unfortunately they dont.

It really depends on a lot of things. I'm now paying $900 a year with a $500 excess with Just Car for $19k agreed value and all of my mods are covered. The joys of never having made an at fault claim since I got my license I guess

What has alarm gotta do with any excess?? I have immobilizer/alarm installed and list for both insurer... In case you're wondering, its a Mongoose M80 series.

I have never made any claims too and been driving for 10 years since I got my license and with Justcar for as long as I have the GTR (3years?). But its only on this bill which I noticed the other 2 excess which I wasnt aware of when I signed up for it.

the GTR badge adds a large part of that excess too.

and why wouldnt shannons cover you?

I dont know if the badge has got anything to do with the excess but I do know a 3.5k or even 2.5k excess is a ripoff.

Because I dont have a fully enclosed garage.

I dont mind paying a bit more to get a hassle free claim (not that I've made any or planning to) which is why I would love to go with Shannon...

NRMA may be cheaper than JustCar but do they give you an agreed value? When I was shopping around I don't think they offered an agreed value which put me right off them.

not literally the badge, but the GTR does with most providers come with a "special" car excess that the likes of a GTS-T etc don't.

Another reason i couldnt justify buying one as a daily.

I just pulled my policy out to have a look. I have a $500 standard excess and an $800 total excess for theft. They do seem to charge more for theft (makes sense I guess seeing how popular a target imports are) but it's still nowhere near your level. Maybe it's just where you live and the GT-R badge.

The agreed value is only 1000 lesser than Justcar...

Thats possible because I do recall either Shannon or Justcar mentioned that before.

Are you saying a total excess of $800 if making a theft claim or is that $800 on top of the standard excess of $500?? You do know standard excess is what you pay a s a minimum for any claim and any additional excess may apply depending on the claims (e.g. underage drivers, theft etc).

I dont think its got much to do with where I live though even is it possible. The "Vehicle Excess" is clearly something additional which they charge and since you dont have it, I can only guess its the GTR badge and not just all imports. But yea... its not very nice to have "hidden" excess and them not letting you know (all they would say is the standard excess). I know its our responsibility to read the fineprints etc but I would expect this to be advised upon signing the insurance...

In any case, I'm happy with the premium and the flat 600 excess.

It's $800 total for theft. I'm guessing it just has to be the GT-R then. I'll definitely have a look at NRMA when my policy is up for renewal next year however. I didn't know they covered gray imports, they didn't when I first looked at insurance a while back.

My insurance is awesome.

$93.50 per year for full comprehensive :cool:

$500 excess whether stolen, crashed, burnt out etc etc etc. No different excesses for different things. Covered for more than I bought the car for :cool:

Yea neither do I until 1 of my colleague told me about insuring his V35 with them.

I shopped around when I recently renewed my insurance but I only tried the usual suspects (Just Car, Suncorp and Shannon's) ill have to look into some of the other big name companies beyond NRMA as well. Maybe the insurance world is getting a little more accepting of imports.

I guess thats on the beetle?

I pay $280 a year full comp on the bike, including my riding gear and they know about my loss of license. The car is just stupid, $700 full comp with RACQ everywhere else either won't insure me or it's $1000 or more a year plus $300-400 normal excess, $400 performance excess and a $500 high risk driver excess.

Racq is just getting me $300 normal excess. Once i turned 25 they dropped all the rest.

Martin im still thinking this F1 weekend over, just all depends on when we are away with Slaughter motorsports

Yeah Just Car insurance will do that to ya. I get standard excess, age excess, car excess, wheel excess, additional adjust excess and theft excess on top if it gets stolen. All up my excess is $4k for an at fault claim and $5k if it gets stolen. But all mods are covered, wheels are insured if they get buckled or otherwise and my agreed value is 26k so meh. I'll shop around when I can be bothered.

Oh and Morning mangs.

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By BaronOBeefdip · Posted

      Yeah, that's when. I guess you could say I'm as patient as I am foolish(or just a masochist?🤔). I've strongly considered throwing in the towel and calling it all quits many times, and have almost done so. It's a first-world problem for sure, but I've had a pretty rough go of it, as well as other factors; hoping something good comes of all this; it has to. It definitely is half the price of the ATS and performs great, but I'd like to try something different for once. I've sampled the ATS in a friend's 32 and it's solid👍

      I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.

      Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.

      Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.

      It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!
