People with built motors - full disclosure when half the modifications in your car are illegal anyways does not make sense to me..

Theoretically if they are illegal your not covered anyway so anyone disclosing their boost controllers, turbo timers, ecu's, atmo bov's etc by insurance policies of accidents with unroadworthy modifications you too will not get a payout.

Pretty sad when you let price of insurance stop you form getting the car/bike/anything you want.

Settle with fire and theft, not at fault you will get paid out no matter what. If its a weekend warrior and not driving in constanst heave traffic it would work im your favour.

Even if you do have full comp, SOme prick does a hit an run, Or there not even insured, Your still coughing up your excess to pay for it, ANd half the time the excess is double the price of the damage.

again, disagree. Society and world finances are in the state it is because of greed, impulsitivty and always 'getting what you want'.

This is what ends up keeping people entrenched in debt, not actually becoming financially secure. You live beyond your means and you pay the price. Of course then these people whinge about it n how its society's fault they ended up in that situation. When really it was a matter of checking ur head, motives and consequences of actions before taking them.

otherwise the 3rd party/theft, as well as excess rationale here are equally flawed... Not giving you shit. JUst trying to get you to reevaluate the scenario and see what is truly your best options, both now and the consequences in years and decades...

Pity that Famous Insurance and Guild Insurance who used to insure grey imports, no longer do. Competition has become somewhat limited. ;)

You can still be covered by Dawes Underwriting (which used to trade as Famous, not sure what the relationship is now).

Not declaring mods is fraud, personally, i wouldn't go there. If you cant afford to do it properly, then you cant afford to do it.

hmmm living a bit beyond your means and being in debt are two diffrent things, Just like being poor, and having no money, Two very diffrent things.

im 21 and earn a little over $500 a week, did i really need to spend 25k converting my NA 33 into a 330 odd KW Rb26? No..... but thats what i wanted so thats what ive done,

Never paid anything on credit in my life, fair enough i dont piss my money up the wall every weekend so im happy to put it towards the car after food/bills are paid.

Why the heck should i change this due to insurance being to expensive,

Work hard and enjoy the things you work for. Being the yougest of majority of my mates being 5 years + older then me, Pulling beers at night after the daily grind just so they can afford a bag and a few drinks on the weekend, Then bithcing how they hate working so much and have nothing to show for it. Thats when its time to re evaluate.

Meh give me a nice car and empty wallet any day of the week :)

I also would like to know what people are doing with fully work cars that are street regoed.

The quote i got from just car, With buit motor, wheels, coilovers, ect ect, Listing everything, Was clost to $4,500 per year if i can remebr corectly, And that was taking the highest excess.

Insurance is peice of mind, and an expensive one at that. Heck, most of us have probly paid the value of our car twice over just in premuims, Not the mention the excess in the event of something happening.

Got a quote from just cars today

male 29yrs old, suburbs not the best for theft

1992 r32 gtr

mods:

Air Filter, Blow-Off Valve, Engine Internals, Exhaust, Turbo/S (Upgrade/Larger), New Computer/Ecu, Suspension Modified, Strut Brace, Boost Controller, Clutch, Fuel Pump, Flywheel, Injectors, Oil Cooler, Oil Catch Can, Pulley Kit, Fuel Pressure Regulator, Gauges, Immobiliser, Alarm, Keyless Entry

agreed value= $22000 claim excess= $400

Premium= $1260/yr

or with extra excess $1500 instead of $400

brings it down to $867

not too bad i thought....

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
