its orange brah, what do you expect?

Thats why I said over the 200

[Mohsen]

one of my mates has an evo and rekons once you go GTR you cant go back...

see how that goes grant

for the people whos numbers i dont have, lagerfields @ crown for my 20th this saturday night though, alex better not get in my face, or ill drop that mother f**ker.

[Count Grantleyish]

Aaron, does Shannons offer trackday coverage?

Cos I recall someone told me they offer one after I binned the 33 GTR (that's almost 2 years ago eek!), never gotten to ask them.

[Count Grantleyish]

Momo, I once drove a Evo after I sold black 32, I doesn't find Evo that impressive, but I'd give it a second look since it's what 7-8 months since I last drove a GTR, thing could change.

[Sunkist]

so i have a dillema.

insurance renewal is coming up.

for some f**king unknown reason my premium is still going to be

Justcars

$2700

with an agreed value of $10,000.00 :S

with excess of $600.

can only imagine shannons will be more, once the current cover ends.

or I could go thirds party fire and theft for $400 PA.

GRANT - im not sure, I will need to call them back so I will ask... but I dont think any insurance company does.

[Count Grantleyish]

Aaron, that's exactly my problem right now, insurance prices skyrocket cos of some hailstorm on last xmas (my GTR was parked out and it wasn't affected at all!), what a joke.

Go 3rd party fire n theft, it's pointless paying $2.7k for 10 grand car.

Try do a new quote with your current insurer and see if the price is cheaper than your renewal...it usually is. Then cancel your current policy and take the new one.

Think I made car too low - worried about bending lip back on driveways or speed bumps now bah looks so nice though

[xALmoN]

so much left over food...

[blah_blah]

Popo isn't the reason, it's insurance. Although, both Evo and Scoob are $2k a year whereas XR6T is $1.2k a year along with BF F6, VE Commo SS (HSV's are $3k plus).

Never had a problem with police with all the Skylines I've had, I guess I'm lucky...

In the grand scheme of things a lil bit extra for insurance will be small compared to the purchase price of the car. Get the car you want not because of an insurance premium unless it is utterly ridiculous

Aaron, does Shannons offer trackday coverage?

Cos I recall someone told me they offer one after I binned the 33 GTR (that's almost 2 years ago eek!), never gotten to ask them.

Pretty sure there trackday coverage will be pretty useless once your on the racetrack...

Sure, insurance is just a small change from buying a car but $500-800 a year more for basically same car while insurers value has reduced, f**k that IMO. Besides it could be a good excuse to buy something else.

How so on trackday coverage being useless on a racetrack?

[Rekin]

so much left over food...

Lol sounds like another meet is in order haha

How the boost bars treating you?

PICS!!!!

Aaron, does Shannons offer trackday coverage?

I have looked into this in the past.

So you can apply for it but is is done on a case by case basis. Ie you need driving history and such

they won't cover imports and such, only significant vehicles, guessing this is for things like old GT-HO's and the such

excess is last time I saw around the 20K mark

no idea on premiums as never actually meet some-one that managed to get it.

yeh i think i might if what chris said to do doesnt work out.

Try do a new quote with your current insurer and see if the price is cheaper than your renewal...it usually is. Then cancel your current policy and take the new one.

i might try this tonight, atleast until the company car comes. once that comes, 3rd party will definitely happen.

Plastidip bru

suprisingly apparently the paint is affecting the premium aswell.

No insurance company in the world, to my knowledge, will insure a track car during racetrack use. Come on man, use your head...it's car racing...people crash all the time. Insurance is a business, they make money off most people not making a claim. You track a Ferrari and someone taps you in the ass...bad luck, you deal with it. Thus the old expression: never track a car you can't afford to lose.

Reminds me of when some guy called me up asking if I would warranty a gearbox in his Evo track car lol...people seem to like the fun of breaking things without the responsibility / reality check that goes with it
