Hey everyone.

Just bought a 2002 M35 (Picking it up next week) and am trying to find some insurance.... Being 23 doesn't seem to be helping.

I called Just Car and was quoted $1656.00 with a $2000 excess and just wanted to know who everyone else is with?

Shannon's wont quote me as I am under 25....

Cheers.

Chris.

Now - Shannons @ $1500 with $500 excess ( Shannons do pay by the month)

Rating 1, 35 Year old, Northern Beaches

Agree value

You can get a discount on that if you have a CAMS licence.

Original question answer: Cannot help you with the under 23 thing....maybe use your Mum and Dad to register and insure the car.....will work out a shit load cheaper!

You get cheaper insurance if you thrash your car on the track? :happy:

Just Cars $1100

Shannons wouldn't touch me as the car is only in a carport. Must be garaged. If only there was room. :bunny:

Shannons.

Without mods (from memory) around $850, but that was a couple of years ago.

Currently with a number of mods, rating 1, 33y.o, agreed value, $500 excess... $1032 :bunny:

(as an aside, I just added my Nismo suspension and PM35 Axis S front end conversion which bumped up the agreed value, but not the premium :happy: )

The M35 I have was $814 at Just Car, Comp and $600 excess with only few extras. I leave the car locked in garage. Its weird how the prices vary for the same company? It must be all about where you live.

Just car renewal came in and it went up $100! WTF? I haven't made a claim so for a year of no claim motoring they put my premium up?! Time to switch. Is it worth a phone call you think or just jump?

Try going on line and filling out a quote form from just car I bet it will be cheaper for exactly the same thing. Thats what I did after mine went up also. New quote $814. I then cancelled old policy and pay for new easy.

ALWAYS call, I've hear that the insurers regularly do this because they know that some people will just pay it without question. If you ring and ask them, it's likely that they will give you a reduced rate.

Usually, you wouldn't even need to cancel the old policy if you stuck to the same insurer...

It never hurts to ask anyway - the worst they can say is no, and if you don't ask you'll never know if the option for better pricing is there. I use this philosophy whenever I buy just about anything that I believe can be discounted.

Yous guys are gunna hate me....

Shannons, about $670.

Me 38, car standard, garaged etc.

There have to be some benefits to living out west...

Wow that's the cheapest I've ever heard, and out west as well.. I thought it was more of a liability out there. Might have to call my mate from Shannons and ask him.

Actually, what's the usage on your premium. I bet it's limited.

My full comp premium is just over 1k, rating 1, over 40 yo, garaged, with Shannons.

    • I'm on the AD09, strictly on the street. They are a very nice tyre, have done ~16k km and are near the end, might make it to 20. They are, in my opinion, very much just a street tyre. I wouldn't expect them to be equivalent to some of the others in your list on the track. Although I'd be pleasantly willing to be surprised. My memory of the AD08Rs is vague enough, due to the passage of time, that I shouldn't try to compare them, but I feel as if the AD09 is not quite as "sporty" as the AD08R was.
    • There's a difference between "selling" a product to someone (which, if you walked into a workshop or bricks and mortar store and bought and walked out with it, is just the act of buying and selling) and rolling your buggy into a workshop and having them fit non-roadworthy stuff to the car. And for the latter, let's ignore any potential legal loophole arguments that the armchair lawyer might want to make to differentiate between supplying your own parts to be fit by the workshop or getting the shop to supply and fit. The workshops that have been dealt with in the US for this are in the latter category. It would be near impossible to try to charge/attack/criminalise a shop for selling "for off road use only" parts to someone unless those things were intrinsically illegal in their own right, or had other legislation wrapped around them, such as there is for guns, pharmaceuticals, etc. Well, no. And you knew your argument was silly when you made it. And there is. it might be somewhat harder in Vic, but then that's the price you pay for electing the long list of (unts that you have to run the whole shit hole**. But otherwise, you can put an aftermarket or otherwise tunable ECU into a car and get it run through the whole shebang of emissions testing as part of an engineering cert and, so long as the tune is "locked" afterwards, then that modification is on the list that is approved on the cert. But....it is an expensive process. ** Of course, the (unts who make up a large proportion of the population that eternally try to get around the rules are also a part of the problem and the reason that you end up with draconian rules in the first place. By contrast, SA was founded and the government and civil service set up and run by very sensible types (largely German) who set up good structures that enabled a lighter touch of government on the somewhat better behaved population. it is only more recently that we have followed the rest of Australia down the criminal drainhole of penal colony behaviour and now we have to catch up with mobile phone cameras and so on.  
    • Not specifically the revamp Toyos. In the past I've used Nitto NT01s, which were essentially the same compound as R888 with a different pattern (that's what the internetz said, so just be facts). I did like the NT01, progressive fade, didn't go from grip to 0 grip in a split second. If you look at the serious street/track guys, most are either on Cup 2, A052, A050, AD09, CR-S or AR-1.  
    • I have one of these! It is absolutely useless. It provides not nearly enough force on the bolt, it just slips over anything that is not finger tight. And if it's finger tight, you can use your fingers.
    • You have to take photos of the car in Victoria with a timestamp. So if you have big aftermarket turbo in your engine bay, your car is simply not getting a RWC and you'll be doing a lot of returning to stock, and re-modding after about 90 days (because cars that have had a RWC can be audited after the fact). The law I'm kinda ambivalent about. I can see the logic and the writing on the wall, Cobb etc would be well known for selling to 'wink wink off the street usage' but in the real world everyone knows what they do and where they end up. It'd be like someone selling guns in Australia but "only to people who have a proper licence" but selling them outside of Bunnings instead of sausages to anybody. Like RWC's, and VASS's and EPA, this is enforcement of the actual existing rules. I haven't looked into it but there (should) be a way for people to legally pass their tuned car to be within the rules if they can prove they pass emissions laws that are applicable. If there's not then that's another story.
