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.

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
