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...

    • Jap premium will be 100 RON. You should use 98.
    • The exhaust gases are at their highest temperature as they leave the exhaust port and enter the manifold. They cool as they flow through the manifold because they transfer heat to the manifold and the manifold loses heat to the surrounding environment. Thus, inevitably, the exhaust gases are cooler as they enter the turbo compared to when they entered the exhaust manifold. So, yes, the exhaust manifold can easily get as hot as the turbine housing. Having said that, you will generally see the highest temperatures where the exhaust gases have to slow down or they are concentrated into one area - which is usually the collector on the manifold and in the turbine housing, because the gases slam into the metal at those places, increasing the convective heat transfer coefficient and transferring even more heat to the metal than they might just flowing past elsewhere. Exhaust manifold heat shields are a good idea - certainly for the stock manifold they are there from the factory. People seldom have anything like that on a tubular manifold because they are hard to achieve. Some might wrap a tube manifold with fibreglass tape - but this has a reputation of leading to cracked welds. The best case is generally to put ceramic coating onto the manifold to prevent it getting as hot (internal coating) and radiating/convecting heat into the bay (external coating). All the real heat from a turbo comes from the exhaust side. The gases entering are at ~800-900°C and the steel/iron gets nearly that hot. The compressor side is only going to heat the charge air up to <<200°C (typically not much more than 100°C). So that's nothing, by comparison. The compressor is not a significant source of engine bay heat.
    • Late to the party, specifically joined this forum as I just bought one of these and this thread has been a gold mine of info. If the OP is still around, mind if I ask what gas you been putting in yours? Mine has a Japanese sticker in the cap saying premium but it seems to get way worse mileage on premium (95) than 91. I always thought it was meant to be the other way round🤷 I do think Nissans claimed "6l/100km" is a bit fantastical 😂
    • Does exhaust manifold get hot as turno exhuast side? I have a turbo cover to managr heat in the engine bay but  nothing is covering the exhaust manifold before turbo   i know as turbo does compress air, the temp does go up however does that mean exhaust manifold would be as hot?
    • It's excellent but I'm still breaking it in so I'm not 100% sure where it'll end up. I would say it's about 15% heavier than stock and the smoothness of the slip zone is quite progressive but you need to be a little patient compared to stock or it'll bite hard and stall. Stock I got away with absolutely horrid clutch control. Like I said before I couldn't even tell where the clutch would grab when it was stock so releasing way too quickly without enough revs it would just slip and the revs would drop lower than ideal but that would be the end of it. Currently there's a bit of a nasty clutch judder if I don't apply enough revs + find the exact wrong point of the slip point in the clutch pedal but it feels like it's slowly resolving as I drive it more. I would not recommend the competition clutch unless you really need the extra clamp force. I think this clutch combined with the Nismo operating cylinder is going to be exactly what I want. Enough bite that you need to remember the release point to avoid stalling or rough shifts, but progressive enough that it's not hard to drive by any means and not heavy at all. I tried a "super single" clutch on my friend's 997.2 Turbo 6MT and that was absolutely horrid. It runs an electrohydraulic power steering pump for the clutch power boost so there's zero feedback in the clutch pedal and there was a horrific clutch shudder well after break-in due to the lack of marcel springs or hub springs in the friction disk. It felt like the slip zone was the thickness of a single toe twitch as well so it was almost impossible to avoid stalling it unless you gave it a ton of revs and just dumped the clutch instead of trying to be smooth with it. I was terrified of pulling out in front of traffic. I have also tried some kind of "super single" on an EK9 and that makes this twin plate Coppermix look like a stock clutch. Releasing the clutch pedal even slightly too quickly feels like you're getting rear-ended. The pedal is extremely heavy as well and there's no vacuum assist like the GTR.
