Seems to be going downhill from here :)

Call Famous Class Car Insurance 1300 886 029, they are in WA.

They quoted me $3299/yr for comprehensive. I have no idea how reputable they are, but I am strongly considering them because they are a lot cheaper than other places.

Also, a few other places:

Will Suncorp do insurance in WA before I waste 10 minutes of my life on hold ?

Suncorp will nearly allways answer the phone in about 20 seconds...never ever had a problem. And i have a few other insurances through them.

0% rating 6, you will go to rating 7 after a claim and about the only people who will touch you is Just Cars for a price(experienced it myself). If you currently have insurance through some other place that is cheaper than Just Cars, don't let your insurance lapse as they won't take you back until on rating 6 again (1 year, experience again). But if you just renew the policy at rating 7 they (usually) won't decline insurance.

I tried Shannons. They said they only insure "collector or vintage cars" or if you belong to a club of some sorts (the group of guys down the carpark doesn't count unless fully incorporated). They have indicated if you are in a club they were not likely to insure you for everyday driving, only weekend club events.

But this was a little while ago, it may be different.

Thanks for the contact - I'll give them a call! What kind of restrictions BTW?

The common stuff like must be garaged, immobiliser/tracker?

I'm not sure who I am with, it's a deal my father got through a broker, but he's paying around $900 for his 2 door STI and I'm paying about $850 for my R33 GTST and I'm 26, so looking what other guys are paying, I must have a good deal!

What broker?!?!?! :)

ive found that the best option is to (as soon as you get your drivers licence) put your name on your parents insurance policy as a 5% time driver. i probably only drove my parents cars about once a year.

anyway.. the point is it that my name being on their policy counts towards my NCB. so i have a 55 or 60% NCB (cant remember which one it is)... but ive been quoted something like $875 pa. for first party insurance.

i should point out that the figure includes that the car must be garaged at night and i do live in a safer than normal suburb for which i was told decreased the figure by heaps! thank god coz im so rediculously low on cash atm... haha.. but then again i will be the coolest looking guy who cant even afford to buy his lunch.. hehhee:D priorities? 1)skyline 2) eating

    • 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".

    • 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
