Hi,

Got 2005 coupe auto and my insurance is with NRMA for $1750 a year.

Who's your insurance? Mines due for another year of commitment and hoping to find someone lower.

Theres no finance on the car but im a bit hesitant doing 3rd Party.

What are your thoughts and who do you use?

Thanks

It might be different depending on you circumstances and location.

NRMA was the cheapest for me at $750 the first year and then $850 for my last renewal. 2005 manual sedan.

Great! Congratulations!

Remember too that when it comes time to renew, still ring around, since insurance companies will sometimes bump up the premium assuming that you'll stay loyal to that company.

You're welcome!

And another thing...

PDS of Just Car will reveal that if your car needs to be repaired, Just Car will choose the cheapest of their own preferred repairer (unless the one you choose is cheaper still).

If you download the PDS of Shannon's, you'll notice that you yourself get to choose your own repairer subject to the assessor's approval.

Stay safe :)

Additionally, should the car ever be written off, you're given first opportunity to buy the wreck back from them.

I rang around and found Shannons the cheapest too, and having first right over a write off is very important. My V36 is only $1100 a year for $40k cover but it is bundled with other vehicles. The more the merrier....

wow didnt think of that. Always thought that insurance companies always wants the best for your car.....

Nah, insurance companies are businesses with little conscience and even less compassion. There are even unwritten interpretations that you won't even see in a PDS. They operate under law. Do you see the 'ivory towers' they build in the cities? When paperwork was installed into computers, one would expect that computers save space - even require less staff; but no, the buildings just went higher! jk

Stay with Just Car for a year and then shop around once more. My GTRs have been with Just Car, Lumley SV, Dawes, Shannon's and Pharmacy Guild (who've now opted out of grey imports since 2011).

Your good record (or bad) follows you around wherever you go!!!

Shannons wanted $2700 for my taxi spec 35, which must also be garaged at night. No thanks... They also bumped my s14 premium from around $1500 to almost $2000 when I moved out to Bankstown, thats for a car thats always garaged and under limited use policy. Yes I know the area plays a big role but thats just way too much of a price jump

Made the move to LSV, half the Shannons quote and pretty much the same benefits. Dont have any issues chaning companies now, loyalty counts for squat these days

    • Aren't these run off of high voltage in OEM applications? Like 200+V. Or at least 48V in mild hybrids. At ~18,000 BTU ballpark nominal capacity the power draw is at what, 2.2 kW? ~185A is a pretty crazy amount of amps. At 200V it's only 11A. The 70A nominal kits with up to 100A peak draw I see for stuff like classic Porsches have pretty substantial compromises like shutting off at idle and not actually managing to keep the interior cool in hot conditions because they can only output like 6000 BTU. IMO if I had to pick what high amp draw component to retrofit to these cars I would start with the engine fan, not the AC compressor. You need an ~850-1000W brushless fan, something like this: I would love to see the data but I would bet that whatever you save by running the AC compressor in a more efficient regime with an electric motor you're probably losing to conversion losses anyways. It's not really like a clutch fan where you're losing power all the time even when it's nominally disengaged and it gets worse as it engages because the envelope tracking isn't that precise.
    • I am a volunteer marshal at the Grand Prix. As such, I get a "friend / family" ticket. It is a general admission ticket, valid for all 4 days. Anyone interested in my spare pass, please DM me. Ticket is "free, gratis and no expense".
    • agreed, the price vs gains it’s there.   unless you go china supercharger. Temu racing anyone?😂https://www.facebook.com/share/15nkfpsg7Z/?mibextid=wwXIfr that was one of the ones that popped up on my feed 😂
    • Bit of a long shot but if anyone has 4 of these laying around in new or near new condition. I will happily buy them off you.     https://skylinespares.com.au/product/stabilizer-door-glass-inner-new-8032404u03/?srsltid=AfmBOop6L5EgUFaHPHiVXoAhv5k8aJYwc77nGmoApp-hY03OiOsNVaOv Thanks 
    • I'm wondering is the Toyota and Mazda "collaboration" could see that new Toyota ???G20 ??? turbo engine that they have been showing off recently into a future MX5, apparently it's good for 400hp out of the box That could easily, possibly, be much better than the last collaboration between Toyota and Subaru with the boxer engine in the twins
