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...

    • It's all about selling non-compliant emmisions stuff, and things like tuning stuff that makes your car have more emmisions, a very small percentage of modifications and tuning go into race cars, the vast majority of tuning and mods, like catless exhausts, or non-compliant cats, go into street cars with registration  Like a gun shop can only sell to someone with a gun licence, if they don't, they are fined and even jailed, and whilst a gun is totally different to a tune, or a catless exhaust, they are still illegal for a street car As for customers, it easy, they send a letter and tell them to show up for an inspection, like if someone says your car is to loud now, if they don't show up for the test, they can cancel rego, just like not paying a traffic fine This has been happening for years overseas in other countries  I'm in no way happy about it, but, I think there is definitely writing on the wall for modern cars with emissions standards, which will effect tuning shops, parts suppliers and end users And like other countries around the world, it is the government's that makes the rules and regulations for street cars with rego What would happen to a tuner or workshop if they were investigated about turning off stuff in a ECU IRT emmisions stuff like engine check lights for cats, or removing cats, or putting in a lower cell cat, this is apparently all illegal IAW modifications to registered cars, or, retuning the car so that with even stock emmision stuff still installed, but due to the tuning, or parts, like bigger cam shafts, it will now not pass the emmisions test Yes, I am going into a rabbit hole, but going off what other countries are doing IRT everything related to emmisions........cars, trucks, manufacturing, mining, modified vehicles are a easy target Meh, time will tell how it goes either way 
    • This^^^ 100%. Endless Male Attention. "buy a cool car, attract females". No reality is the opposite. "Buy a cool car, attract males".     
    • Just wanted to share the recent dyno results on my car. 20lbs of boost on pump gas. Pulled the fuse on the AWD so it was only rear wheels on the dyno. It made 484 hp at the wheels. I asked the tuner to see if we could do something so it breaks the 500hp level, but he said that we were maxxed out on pump gas. If i wanted to make more power, id have to go to E85.      8739a97a-9408-4eeb-b769-108ff1678736.mp4
    • While there is no current law for the spoon, let's swap to a different utensil. Example, does the store get fined for selling a butter knife if it ends up being a murder weapon? Perhaps they cpuld be done for assisting if they *knew* it was going to be for such a purpose. But, if used properly, which was its primary design, it's a tool for a job that's legal. I could understand companies being prosecuted if they advertise their products for being road legal if they in fact, are not. Possibly, but not necessarily, the tuners for tuning a car to a non legal fashion(emissions), but there is always the possibility that the customer really doesn't intend to use the car, in that configuration, on the road. So long as the companies can prove they have conveyed how illegal it is to use the now illegal car, in a place where the vehicle must meet the laws, they shouldn't be punished. Not sure about other countries or states, but I've been made aware that I can't legally stop a client from taking and driving their own car in NSW, Australia, even if they owe the shop money. It must go through court to get the funds from the customer, and you need to get the police or roads covering body representatives to come and stop the owner from driving the car, even if I know how hazardous the vehicle is.
    • probably around the $1700-1800 fitted in his sizes.  The ar1 is heaps cheaper. Get on scumplace I got some A052 295/35/18 for $400 that had done maybe 20-25 hot laps of SMP.
