Hey guys,

Currently paying $920 p.a.or $77 p.m to have the wagon comprehensively insured. That's with a $750 excess and insured to $12000. 60% n.c.b, clean driving record, Mrs uses the car 90% of the time, she's 33 and I'm 36. Is there a better deal around at the moment? This is with Famous Motor Insurance, looks like they've put up their excess too.Car is parked off street (5070) in a car port with garage door (i.e. 2 walls around the car, not 4).

i'd be trying with shanons

if they ask about a car club say your a member of skylines australia and sound like an enthusiast

they are supposed to be really good but picky about who they insure

I depends a lot on what city you live in.

If you live in West Bumfark then premiums are much cheaper.

These threads often go around in circles unless you are comparing your rates, your modifications, your driving record/experience and location with someone in the same boat.

I am not saying this to have a go at anyone as we all want to pay less and get the same coverage for our insurance dollar but there is more in the price differences than meets the eye.

I'm with justcars paying $92 a month insured for $17,500,excess is $600 and "all" mods are covered.

I'm 35 with no claims.

i'm 21 on $107/month

not sure on my excess (would have to add the under 25 excess on tho)

sucks that they don't do windscreen cover, i want a new one :(

Im paying $650 per year through Justcar, im 35 with clean licence.value is $13500

same deal here, but 34 later this year. clean driving history no claims no accidents (and no infringments in past dozen yrs)

i'm 21 on $107/month

not sure on my excess (would have to add the under 25 excess on tho)

sucks that they don't do windscreen cover, i want a new one :(

Strange how they dont cover windscreens/windows.when they do panels etc

This man speaks the truth.

I'm inner Sydney, on street parking, only just Car would cover me and it made no difference to the price for on or off street. Shannons and Famous both knocked me back for no off street parking ( didn't care if it was alarmed. ) .

35, No accidents/claims for 15 years, last speeding ticket 2 years ago , agreed 15k, Premium 1,400 , excess 1100

So as you can see there are people with Just Cars with simliar age/driving record/agreed price but paying less and some more. It's all about the suburb/age/NCB. Shannons told me if I lived elsewhere they would accept on street.

Just Cars are AAMI, which I think means no choice of repairer?

I'm insured through a private mutual. $812/year, $500 excess, agreed value of $18,000, complete choice of repairer and any mods I want to do have to be listed as nonstandard accessories and must be road legal. I'm 26 with the car garaged in Adelaide.

^ yep. But it has to be cracked. They don't pay for chip repair, I dont know why you would bother anyway.

i got a small chip in mine when driving it home (1600km north) from Brisbane, got it repaired as soon as i got it back. after it was done could barely see it, now i can't find it even if i look for it, (i still remember roughly where it is) so IMO was worth the $40 i paid. They used some liquid/gel stuff that hardens once inside the crack, and wipe excess off while its wet. as i say no complaints and well worth it.

    • Hi all, I’ve just finished fitting the timing belt on my RB25, following the standard procedure: rotate the crank twice, release the tensioner, then tighten it down. The belt feels tight, and you can see that clearly in the picture below I’ve heard some people say it’s actually better for the belt to be slightly loose rather than too tight, as excessive tension can lead to snapping. So that’s in the back of my mind. What I’m seeing is this:  • At idle, the belt looks fine.  • But when cranking and especially when revving (around 3–4,000 RPM), there’s a momentary flap/flex or flicker in the belt, which I’ve tried to capture in the video. So my question is — based on what you see, is this slight belt movement something you’d consider normal, or am I just being OCD? Could this amount of movement cause sync issues? Or is it just a harmless bit of flex under load?   from what I know belt flap and flex is expected when crank spins up and pull cam with it Would appreciate any thoughts or similar experiences.     IMG_7656.mov IMG_7657.mov
    • I've replaced the front brakes of my NA to 324 brembos and 350z calipers: i'm going for 225/40-18 up front and 245/35-18 in the back. I have Rays 7.5*19 ET35(225/35) in the front with 5mm spacers otherwise the calipers "lock up/ won't rotate". When i use the calculator i come up with 8*18 ET30 for 225/40...... but not sure i get problems with the calipers. Anyone riding around with 18 inch. that can confirm "that it'll fit"? In the back it's 7.5*9 ET30 (245/30) with the 5mm spacers, but there is no problem with the standard small brakes, so i want to take 8.5*18 ET25 (245/35).
    • Lol.. but then.. always come back to a JDM..
    • Glad to hear. If possible, get your tuner to check air's to make sure everything is still where it should be.
    • The problem with FB/Insta/Reddit etc comments relating to cars is simple. You get to ask a question once, and get one round of replies. For things that can actually be answered in a few lines of text, once, it's fine. After 6 hours, your original question is lost to the void. There are no follow ups, additional questions, anything. No project car is ever such a simple list of questions to ask. You need discussion.
