nah im alright with cars. i did loose my licence for a month, which had some sort of contribution.

but it was coz I was 19 when I bought the car :) I had a supra before that n it was covered for $1800 so i think its just coz of the turbo and new laws of the P-plate restrictions.

2003 M35 - just car - ~$780 full comp with rating 1 protection. I'm 29, my wife is 26.

I was like wtf? so cheap!

Then I saw Adelaide >_< This is what happens when you live in Sydney. Yes areas do make a massive difference to Premiums. I have 3rd party on my shopping trolley, moved one suburb over (diff postcode) and they wanted to charge me +$100. I had to argue over the phone, that it doesn't make sense as you can drive the car friggin anywhere... Aparently drivers one suburb over are more dangerous :wacko:

Canceled the policy for a cheaper one 3 days later.

i actually self insure.. i only have 3rd party fire and theft.. just case i lose the whole car or hit a merc..

if you think about it.. if you have a minor to mild smash every 5 years it works out quite well..

$1200 per year with $500 excess..

1200x5 = $6000 + $500 excess..

So if you have 1 prang every 5 years that is less than $6500 you are way ahead.. considering most prangs are generally only $1000-$2000 at most.

and i havent had a bad hit in over a decade.. (knock on wood) would hate to think i had forked out over $10,000 for nothing..

far out man thats insane.. why such a high cover price?

i could barely get 25k for mine and my rims are worth more than your car - just kidding ;)

mind you my premium is 1127$ for both the stagea m35 and the skyline

$500 excess each - and the stagea is covered for 25k

the r33 skyline is covered for 10k - and thats one premium for both cars.

i was with just car - they wanted too much i shifted to shannons. - just car also gave me an agreed value of 22,800. for all my mods. wasnt enough.

if youve got 2 cars - bundle them its cheaper.. mind you they knew the skyline was off the road and unregistered - and un drivable till registered - that premium will go up another $112 when its back on the road and registered. only because its in bits and unregistered that theyve allowed such a low cover price. - and that its in a locked garage. (with an aftermarket alarm also)

but rating 1 and im nearly 32.

i reckon thats great cover for two turbo cars personally.

$1150 full comprehensive with just car on a higher excess rate. Wife and I are 32 both rating 1, living

in Seaforth Sydney' parked in the driveway. I thought that was fair except the non turbo didn't make much difference.

Yeah I talked to them when I got mine about the turbo/non turbo thing. The answer was pretty much, it don't matter squat. We'll base it off the AR-X which is in the system. Which would seriously suck if you some how had a 2.5 non turbo... (not that its possible here)

ass hole lol..

I dont know they just said we'll cover you up to 30,000 on your own car? might be because my previous two cars were with them..and thats including all my mods too, and as a P-plater at the time. mods+P plates(insurance)=your left testicle.

To be honest i'de rather pay the cheaper amount. and have cover for 25,000. might differ now that im off my P's, although Shannons wont touch me until I'm 25.

talking about this reminds me my rego is almost up. almost one year with my black fridge :D

but to move to shannons its a requirement to keep the car in the garage. It tends to be a race between myself my sister and my dad. for one of the two spots in the garage. so i cant always guarantee who gets it lol

NRMA fully comp with window protection for $20 000 is $1150 for me in my wifes name me on policy.. she's 28 im 26.

whats crazy is her nissan cube 2003 model full comp window protection is $1050 insured for $10 500 its only a 1.4l small car.. they need to revamp the whole system.

Thread dig! (Figure we may as well keep the info together)

Anyone have insurance other than with Shannons, Famous or Just Car? I can't find anyone else.

Shannons won't insure me because it's not garaged, which sucks because they've been great to me and my mates in the past. I'm too young for Famous (27). Soooo reluctant to even bother with Just Car comprehensive...

I am with Justcars, have made claims in the past and fount them ok.

Yeah, have just heard lots of horror stories, and with cars that easily breach ADR's in numerous ways (defectable in SA regardless of engineering) I like the peace of mind.. if I can get it.

Anyone had luck with Ryno insurance keeping the car in the driveway?

But there will be horror stories for any insurance company.

Each to there own though...

    • Been a while since I've heard anyone mention Kumho tyres. It's like they've fallen off the radar in terms of street/track tyres. I still want to get below 1m50s on the RS-4 tyres at SMSP, just because lol. Even doing a 1m52s lap, going into T1 was sketchy af.
    • I've run most of the semis which are available and sadly you can pretty much rank them by price.  Fast and spendy = Z221, A050, DZ03G Ok and mid range price = R888, V70A, A052 I don't really rate the AR-1 because it's not cheap enough for the performance level offered. Yes, they're much cheaper than A050 but V70A can be had just as cheap and is a much faster and more predictable tyre.
    • There's no current law that stipulates that you cannot eat dessert with a soup spoon, although, it is socially unacceptable of course, shame on you But, there are emissions laws, which is sort of on topic to the OP's questions Things like emissions are, if anything, going to get stricter in the future for road registered cars I believe, 'Merica has yearly emisions testing in some states, the UK has it's yearly MOT testing as well which includes emissions Building, and purchasing modified vehicles may become alot more problematic if you want to keep them registered, how, if, and when each state handles this is anyone's guess  More food for thought really
    • 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.
