Insurance for third party injury is your greenslip in NSW and it's mandatory or you cant renew the rego. Greenslip usually costs me about 500 and rego i believe is in the mid 200s, i just see it as a 700 odd dollar package as im sure most people do.

On the original topic: IMO third party is a must have at minimum but comprehensive really pays off if someone else wrecks your car and has no insurance for whatever reason, or does a runner. Let your insurance chase up the at fault party and deal with repayments of $15 per pay packet while you get a new car.

I agree completely agree about third party being a must. But rego is more expensive by the weight of your car, so 500 or more for Third Party plus $437 for what amounts to a standard Commodores weight it quickly becomes a $1k exercise, so basically the NSW public is getting reamed by the state government and the insurance companys.

And its even more if you want to claim the car off tax for business use.

Has anyone tried making a claim with JustCar?

How did it go? :D

My excess was $1450 so I decided I'd just pay the $1200 repair job.

If making a claim is anything like getting insurance, expect a 40minute conversation with the operator about your car, his car, and all the mods you've done, doing and plan to do. <3ed JustCars customer support.

Paid for my 34 my self, worked my ass off for a year for it, and also paying about $1800 for full comp insurance. Bumped up the excess to nearly $3k though. My car is valued at $16.5k and wen you actually come down to work it out i do get screwed if anything were to happen to the car (touch wood) kinda shit isnt it if you work it out. however my parents pretty much demanded that i get full comp, no 3rd party so i guess i had no choice.

Im with just car btw and im paying monthly so its not too bad.

2 times ive done it with the 33

both times no issues - just ring and they go through all the stuff - all basic questions

second time i even called them up 2 days after the smash as wanted to see how much it would be first and because it was already at the shop just car just used them as they were my prefered and were a just car repairer

Payed Half and Half with Parents for my first car... an R31 haha. Still $1250 out of my pocket.

Only doing Third Party Fire and Theft, I pay for that.

Full blown $1000+ car insurance I cannot justify getting on an R31 thats worth less then what Ide pay a year in insurance.

I saved up $12 000 from working with my dad for 2 years, to get my r33 :) Never wanted to take a loan out on my first car, just all money i saved up. Then got full comp insurance with shannons under my dads name with me as a nominated driver and that costs about $1000 a year. Always been a good saver so i don't stuggle keeping up with rego, insurance, petrol, servicing etc etc

Started working full time after I finished year 12, not hard to save up when you live at home. $4500 for the car, and insurance with shannons under an "89 nissan skyline sedan", apparently there were no r32 4 doors in 89, so I fall under R31, insurance is considerably cheaper haha.

I spoke to them at a car show i was entered at and that had a stall there.

They took my details, texted me a quote and sent one in mail.

I'm 17

when i called them she wouldn't even consider me as i have no track or off road experience, and that's one of the main factors when under the age of 25, but i recall her saying that the age is increased now,

i use just car, about $1750 a year. full comp

Shannons can use discretion - it's up to the person you speak to, i have had a turbo insured with them since i was 21. There's things that help like track experience, history of powerful cars, driving record, knowing your mods and having the right sort of mods (20" chromies, hot pink paint and white leather interior will pretty much equal rejection for anyone), etc..

    • Following from this in a related by not closely-related sense... Because I was buying a bunch of other GKTech stuff, I got some rear subframe collars. The history that leads up to this is: 25+ years ago the car arrived into the country with stock subframe bushes. At some point shortly thereafter I added Whiteline pineapple rings, set up neutral, and it improved the rear end behaviour. Well, it is my vague memory that I was happier with it with them in. Less axle tramp on launches, generally better, etc etc. ~2012 it got a new non-HICAS subframe with new stock bushes. No pineapple rings. I reckon that ever since then I've been dissatisfied with the axle tramp. Recently I've been f**king around a lot with all aspects of the suspension. One contemplation has been to relocate the rear lower control arm front mount points (and do the other things needed to make that work) to improve longitudinal rear grip by getting rid of some of the stupid anti-squat that Nissan ladled into the R32. But.... before doing that I thought I'd put some collars in. And.... The collars are good. The rear sounds a little bit different, but there has been no significant increase in NVH coming up into the body. In terms of rear behaviour - expansion joints on long sweeping elevated freeway ramps that would sometimes cause the rear to jiggle around a bit, no longer seem to do so. It appears that jamming chunks of metal into the gaps in the rubber so they can't move much is a really good thing. And the launch behaviour and general forward traction situation seems to be greatly improved too. It's impossible to be really sure, because the tyres are completely shagged - they are freakishly willing to let go right now. But as an A-B test with the same tyres it certainly seems to grip up a lot better. Highly recommended to anyone who still has stock bushes.
    • Bit off topic maybe but has anyone had a crack at one of those aftermarket electric compressors ? Bit of a search came up with one put out by Speedy Air Spares. Looks interesting and looks as if you'd have to run a big arse alternator. Found this out after the fact as my air con compressor packed it in and soon after my alternator ! !
    • Yes. Needs new ports. Usually just achieved by screwing an adapter onto them. Be aware that any AC compressor that hasn't been used in a long time will very likely have dried out seals and will not hold gas. Oh, and obviously you will require a new receiver-dryer also.
    • Can you covert an R32's AC from r12 to r134 if the compressor/hoses etc are still all good? Pretty sure on my car the AC was degassed when it was imported  to remove the naughty r12 and save the ozone layer, and the fancy climate control system just blew air around. Was happy to drive the car with windows down back then, but now I am old and need to be kept cool
    • Just to circle back here, I've sold my automatic trans to another Stagea owner in OH.
