Well I've finally done it.....

No I haven't had a crash, well not recently anyway... I've sent my search form off to my Good man Troy from Iron Chef, oh yeah :)

So it's a waiting game now until I get my new baby. I'm sure this question has been asked a million times, I even typed 'insurance' in the search option but I couldn't find any info I was after. I also have a background in the insurance industry, don't judge ;) I'm out of the game now.

So I know how limited my options are regarding insurance on an imported car. This will also be my first time dealing with a car I have imported, it's actually my first time with the Nissan brand altogether. So I want things to go as smoothly possible.

So who does everyone recommend? It will obviously be full comprehensive cover and a daily driver.

Thanks,

Paul

i did ask this question once here. i ended up going with NRMA. i pay around $1700 with $1k excess (on its second year i used to pay $1800).

the good thing about NRMA is they are not fussed with mods....

so works with me. just have to fork out this much to drive this beast on the road

Holy Shit... That's crazy expensive. I'm guessing you are young or possibly have a bad rating?

I got a quote & it is less than half of what you are paying. Look below for more info.

I didn't know NRMA would touch grey imports!!!!

I thought Shannons and Just Cars were basically the only two...

Yeah I wouldn't have thought NRMA would insure it either... I got a quote through Just Cars, comprehensive cover, I based it on a 2012 370GT SP Coupe Auto. I put an agreed value of $40,000 for an example, as I have know idea what the real value is? I'm not sure if they do market value? I didn't see the option. They also allow an unlimited amount of legal mods. Total annual premium $716, $650XS. Total annual premium $774, $450XS. Pretty stoked with that. Can some other members please post what they are paying and who with, or PM me if you are not comfortable letting everyone else know. It will be a big help and of course will save a lot of time.

Thanks.

My last premium was around $800p/a with NRMA with $500 excess.. (clean driving and accident history - 38yo) they undercut everyone else for me.

NRMA are happy with the V35.

V36 is even easier.. suncorp and a bunch of other common insurers will cover them.

My V35 was insured with Shannons - annual cost was a bit more than your quote but city/country locations would account for that. The car was hit from behind, and was an economic write-off, Shannons were great - no hassles at all. They paid out the agreed value within a couple of weeks, and offered to sell me the wreck for a reasonable price. They were very easy to deal with. Everything was done over the phone.

Based on that experience I would be happy to recommend them. YMMV

Suncorp are easy enough with imports. They're also generally very generous with market value of the car.

My '07 350GT SP is $82/mth with $400 excess.

Also got a '94 Lexus SC300 which is only $69/mth.

Unlike most insurers, Suncorp don't take into account where you park your car. They consider garage, carport, driveway all to be the same, as long as it's on your property. RACQ used to charge me $13/mth more for my wifes car because it was parked in a carport, not a garage.

And if you have multiple policies with them they give you 10-15% discount on premium.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.

      Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.

      Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual

      Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.

      There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
