LOL HBF - $880 per year

then I rang suncorp....she punched in the figures and told me it would be $18721.69c per year and would I be using credit card to pay that........

I asked her to double check and she said that was a correct figure......guess some people are a little delusional about prices!

I got one or two quotes like that. gave me a friggin heart attack!

yeah, $8k/year.

huh? are you sure? wanna check that?

yeah, that's right. imports are expensive to ensure. plus, you cant drive it on the roads. or park it. anywhere.

just have it, and look at it.

:devfu:

  • 2 months later...

Has anyone else been reamed by HBF lately.

Got my insurance renewal in the mail. I now have maximum no claim bonus since last year, which should reduce it further, and I'm a year older yay cheaper again! ....and get this... my premium WENT UP!

I tried EBM Insurance but they don't insure imports to anyone udner 25 anymore! (WTF)

Who else has a good deal on insurance they want to share? (and no, Just cars don't do monthly payments!)

Well if you are 26 and over you fall into the insurance companies "we love you guys at that age category".

I was with famous cars up till last month being 24 i was getting full comp insurance for 2K including mods (upgrade turbo, mags, exhaust, stereo etc) on 20K agreed.

My friend exactly the same car with similiar mods but 30 years old he's getting covered for $900 talk about me getting screwed.

Now i am with Just cars paying $1300 including the mods.

If I had straight standard GTS-T 95 Series II it would only be $1000.

SO if you have a standard skyline and are under 25 i recommend Just cars.

i work for an Insurance Broker in the city and I just recently tryed to obtain insurance on a 32. i tryed no lie 11 companies,.... i had to go to the Insurance Inquiries and Complaints Board and you can tell them im a ie: Male, 22 with an Import - and they can give u the numbers of which insurers will cover you. They gave me for the details above about 4 numbers.... now i tryed all 4 out of that 2 companies said no. One other said Yes but they must return the suspension back to normal ride height and return it to a stock turbo. (would not cover upgraded turbo)

I ended up trying Just Car Insurance and found that they are of the better option. the Premium combined with state charges and levies came to $2,015.00 which isnt that bad really...

its only going to get harder as the media and other ppl drum up the idea of the "street racer image" and cars of this power and stereotype keep on crashing... the parts are also harder to get. (insurance companies take the hard way around things)

I might be able to get cheaper rates becos i know a few ppl so if anyone wants to give it a crack just PM me and i can give it a shot.... I can also get lower excess's and stuf.. also help explain some of the terms and conditions...

:)

Well its either save the money on insurance with one hit and then spend the savings on mods instead of getting reamed.

Just cars is cheaper for me... only they don't allow you to pay monthly (big lose)

and I dont have a spare $1k lying around... well... I do for mods, but not greedy insurance companies :D

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
