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...

    • Thanks heaps. So basically, bare block, very very similar. And cranks are the same
    • Hey guys, I have dipped my toes into the pool of skylines finally and figured I would get amongst the forums and make an introduction post! My name is Callum, I'm from the north side of Sydney, and I am now 6 months into owning my 1992 R32 GTS-T (already having half of that time off the road in true nissan fashion). It is originally an AH3 car but at some stage of its life it has been resprayed in and out in TH1 with (in the sellers words) extra purple, parked next to an actual TH1 car it is a fair bit lighter in colour. It has also had the original RB20 swapped out for an RB25DET NEO which I presume to be out of a Stagea going off the AWD sump that has been sealed up. I won't go super into detail with mods as I want to create a build thread post soon. Unfortunately the car seems to have had a hard life as many of these have being previously a cheap sub 10k car, and I have barely any history on it so if anyone happens to recognise the car or thinks they may have any history I would LOVE to hear it as I am a bit of a nerd when it comes to car history, the seller had it roughly since 2020 I believe and was from Parramatta area if that helps. Look forward to being a part of the community, I have been to 2 SAUNSW events already (one being in 2022 prior to ownership, and once more a few weekends ago) so you could say I am not brand new to it but can definitely be more involved via the forums! (side note: I am pretty new to forums and struggled to attach pictures of the car, is there an easier method than having to have the pictures on facebook and copying the link from there? would love to know for future reference cheers!)
    • I have GT2860R. I'm not sure if they are -5 or -7. Do you know? These are the exact ones.  https://www.enjukuracing.com/products/garrett-rb26dett-gruppe-n-turbo-upgrade.html?srsltid=AfmBOopSCzHaDtf7nggL6R8KrD8RJP4wxBJitmkRmswmv2SaEbAVcxTe And to be honest, i think the car was the most enjoyable to drive on the streets when it was 280hp (205kw). I could enjoy all the revs to redline i wouldn't be going crazy fast, but just fast enough to know that you are working the car.  
    • If i used a cooling system pressure tester, would it show me a leak with the head gasket? Ive used one before to chase down a leaking coolant hose. Not sure if this will work on the oil-cooler warmer.
