wondering alex.. let's say a hyperthetical that your in an accident.. and the other guys at fault.. he's wrote your car off but he's not insured at all..

if you was on full comp insurance.. they'll fix/replace your car at a "not at fault" claim, costing no excess at all and the insurance company will chase him down for the money. where as if you had to chase him it could be ages before you get money and that's if you don't get the run around (had this happen to my parents, and cops eventually said not worth chasing anymore)..

Insurance has it's perks, but also it's downside..

alex is a wog

if the other guy wrote alex's car off but didn't have insurance, and couldn't pay it, alex would call some potato eating cousins of his who would pay our uninsured friend a visit and leave with his kidneys..

I guess that solves it then, he doesnt need insurence because he has potato eating cousins :)

People here are taking my words out of context, im not saying don't get any insurance im saying just get third party, even with third party if your not at fault the insurer will chase down the case for u.

correct me if im wrong but i was under the impression 3rd party only covers you when you damage someone elses car, if you're at fault

......

maybe read it slower? :D

I read it, if the fag cant pay ill track his ass down and start taking his furniture and shit, should have thought about that before being gay wod.

2 notes as a professional in the industry...

1. Excess (fee) is not a fee it is paid as your contribution for a claim and is only required when you claim, never before.

2. Until you get 25 you will get buttsecked on premiums, silly car to get at 17 IMHO considering NRMA offerred me at 25 $2400 for my 33

Comp is something you definitely want to have, it's like health insurance really, I forked out ridiculous amounts of money all year long, but when it came time for surgery, it saved my wallet good and proper. It all comes down to whether you want to gamble. If you're feeling lucky, punk, then just get 3rd party. There's no way any of us can say if or when you'll be in an accident, you could be in a nasty one but it might not be your fault. If that is the case, and you don't have it, and THEY don't have it, you are left with nothing. The only thing you will be covered for is their hospital bills. So it's really just another one of those shitty personal choices.

In reply to your actual question though... No, you will not find cheaper than Just Car (or Shannons in some cases). Andy paid just under $3K when he first got insurance on our old R33 gtst, then he wrote it off 22 hours later. We got the agreed value back, and ended up making $1500 out of the whole ordeal. Second time around he paid the same amount on the same car, then every year since then it's gone down. Also, once you've been with them for a year or so, you are then eligible to pay by the month, which is great, no more big lump sum payouts every year! We are currently paying $102 a month for the GTR for both him and me insured, with an excess of $1900, so your costs will decrease with age and good driving history.

Good luck!

Not true, most TPPDO policies (Third Party Property Damage) also cover up to $5000 worth of damage caused by an uninsured third party.... so you can be partially protected... but if they have insurance and are jerkoffs you are screwed, don't be an idiot, get comp.

    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.        
    • Sharing results from recent Liberty Walk R35 GTR, since they are still considered as somesort of a V36 Skyline. We do them turbos too. This are high flowed SS-1 models with ball bearing conversion done.  Car have managed to pull 485awkws @ 20Psi so far pushing limitations of factory built engine. The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
