Hi guys not sure if this has been covered already (and yes I done a search). I'm looking at renewing my policy and think that I might be getting short changed possibly.

Currently insured with just car and I want to see what are the competitors. Shannons didn't want to insure me because I am under 25 :)

What are ppl paying for comp on a r33-t?

im 23, 33gtr, full comp, agreed value, lots of mods, shannons all the way.

just cars wanted double the premium and triple the excess than what shannons charge me now.

lots of people comment how i managed to get insurance with them whilst under 25 and i really dont know - i just called up, got a quote, compared with just cars and struck a deal with shannons.

by far best insurance company out there for modified cars.

u got lucky shannons wont touch anyone under 25 so there is nobody other then just cars for young people.. im 23 and both cars are with them even for my is250 they were the best because of my age.. its bs really!

there are some others but they have ridiculous conditions ie. not covered while parked on the street..

I was told that anyone under 25 can still get insurance from Shannons, as long as you tell them you are with a car club? (SAU)

come to think of it they did ask me if i was part of car club and i did mention i was a sau member so maybe thats the trick..

19, R34, Just cars... Agreed value 20K with full comp.

$2,900 first year for premium with $1,500 for excess

Second year I renewed it was either $1,600 premium with $1,500 excess or $1,900 with $1,000 excess, so I paid the $1,900 premium just incase anything happens to save the extra $500 on excess.

29yrs old, r33 gtst, just cars, full comp, rims excess is seperate, $1300 a year, excess from memory is sub $600 for stolen or crash

car value i think is around $15k and been with them for about 5 years

Wow, that's terrible!

I'm 25 & with Shannons (have been for 3 years, prior to that I was with AAMI then Just Cars.) They definitely insure under 25's, you just have to be the right sort of person.

My R34 GT-T is $1,200 per year and insured for $20,000.

My highly modified Pulsar is $1,100 per year on limited use cover and insured for $15,000. I also have full salvage rights to the car at no cost in the event it's written off. I pay a bit extra because of this.

My insurance would be much cheaper save for having my cars insured in a very high risk suburb. Price includes my CAMS license discount.

Hmm. I drive an R34 GT-T and im 20yrs old. I got offered insurance with Shannons over the phone easily. I pay 1.4k a yr for comprehensive insurance, and my excess is $900. Also HBF said they insure skylines with turbos at ages 21 and above. So maybe try Shannons again or even give HBF a call.

    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
    • I just quote the Rolling Stones. Paint it black.
