apparently they have allocated points associated with certain mods eg. 50 points for a/m zorst, 100 points for a/m rims and sh1t like that...not sure wat the maximum number of points allowable is tho...heh....who cares

im also 25yo and with suncorp and have a gtst r32...i think u did get a mong tard :P

Hrmm.. my previous insurance was.. Just Cars.. R34 Gtt, with minor mods 1515 for a year. Tho I was listed as Rating 1 with no previous accident history and no fines, blah blah blah. So I was pretty happy at the time :cheers:

Another company you can try is http://www.vigilins.com.au/ I'm not sure how good they are as I only found out about them recently. So no harm for you to try if you havent already done so. :D

Whats the best insurance people have found?

i had suncorp lined up about 9 mths ago they said i had to wait untill i was 25 and then they would insure me for a turbo import (skyline Gts-t 33) for $1000 bargin!!

now im about to get the car i ring up to make sure they will do it and the tell me sorry we only insure the r33 GT, GTS and GTR,  no gts-t, WTF!!!! :werd:  AND they tell me the skyline GTR is a non turbo!!

I asured them that the GTR is Twin Turbo so why cant they insure a single turbo

Wanker at Suncorp: "Sorry i can only insure whats on my screen and the Gts-t is not there"

So i have called just cars and they want $1200 and no pay by the month

Anyone have better insurance company?

Hey,

i've got a 93 gts t, 92 sourer insurered with shannons insurance for well under a 1000 bucks. around 600. mide u ive had another car with them for about 5 years and i'm 29 but over the years they've been really good. Shannons insure people over 25 with everything from hot rods, street machines, vintage, show cars, race cars. u name it

worth a look

Well I had been following this thread for a bit and thought I could not afford full comp, silly me.

I was with just cars for full comp but couldnt afford it this year so dropped back to fire and theft, now in the past couple days saw this thread and started actually calling up places and getting quotes, this and read that the theft is only covered up to and including $5000 with just cars, WTF!?!?!?

Anyway now happily with Suncorp, pay by the month, market value for damage and theft, although i didnt go the $300 more for the windscreen and car hire thing.

Thanks people! :D

  • 3 weeks later...

So i ring suncorp back 4 more times and they still tell me sorry we will insure your for a Skyline GT, GTS and a GTR but no GTS-T

Im just about to go looking for a skyline anytime now and im pretty pissed off that they wont insure me ( refer to the first thread )

I thought i'll try 1 more time and im not hanging up till they insure me! ( as lot of you guys said you have insurance with suncorp)

Just got of the phone 15mins ago with a quote number and 2 Authorisations from the guy on the phone and his boss to insure a skyline GTS-T with a few mods for a touch over $1000 ($1058) and its pay by the month :headspin:

Thanks too ya all for the info and the help :)

    • Hi guys, has anyone either purchased or built themselves a rotisserie for their car before? I can only just justify the need for one hence why I should just make one but at the same time, if I make one I can kiss another 4 weeks of potentially productive car working time goodbye because I'm building a bloody rotisserie....  I mainly want it for the application of the body deadener.  Cleaning the old stuff off, priming and then colour over the deadener doesn't worry me, it's just the application using the Schutz Gun that I feel would achieve a significantly better finish painting it side on and keeping the Schutz Gun upright.  I don't think they would work well on the side let alone almost upside down for some areas.  If the product I use (Terosun, etc) could work through a HVLP ok then it might be ok to apply without the rotisserie.   I can get one of these style ones for about $1200 which is pretty good value-     I reckon if I made one it would cost around $500 but it's more the time that it would take is more of a killer than the cost.  They look to hold their value pretty well second hand so I could always sell it after using it and realistically only lose $200-$300 at worst.  Or keep it and buy another project when this one finally sees the light of day... Anyone selling one...? Cheers!  
    • While it is a very nice idea to put card style AFMs into the charge pipe (post intercooler, obviously), the position of the AFM and the recirc valve relative to each other starts to become something that you really have to consider. The situation: The stock AFM is located upstream the turbo, and the recirc valve return is located between the AFM and the turbo inlet, aimed at the turbo inlet, so that it flows away from and not through the AFM. Thus, once metered air is not metered again, neither flowing forwards, or backwards, when vented out of the charge pipe. When you put the AFM between the turbo outlet and the TB, there is a volume of pressurised charge pipe upstream of the AFM and there is a volume of pressurised pipe downstream of the AFM. When the recirc valve opens and vents the charge pipe, air is going to flow from both ends of the charge pipe towards the recirc valve. If the recirc valve is in the stock location, then the section between it and the TB doesn't really matter here - you're not going to try to put the AFM in that piece of pipe. But the AFM will likely be somewhere between the intercooler and the recirc valve, So the entire charge pipe volume from that position (upstream of the AFM, back through the intercooler, to the turbo outlet) is going to flow through the AFM, get registered as combustion air, cause the ECU to fuel for it, but get dumped out of the recirc valve and you will end up with a typical BOV related rich spike. So ideally you want to put the AFM as close to the TB as possible (so, just upstream of the crossover pipe, assuming that the stock crossover is still in use, or, just before the TB if an FFP is being used) and locate the recirc valve at the turbo outlet. Recirc valve at the turbo outlet is the new normal for things like EFRs anyway. In the even of a recirc valve opening dumping all the air in the charge pipe, pretty much all of it is going to go backwards, from the TB to the recirc valve near the turbo outlet. But only a small portion of it (that between the TB and the AFM) will pass through the AFM, and it will pass through going backwards. The card style AFMs are somewhat more immune to reading flow that passes through them in reverse than older AFMs are, so you should absolutely minimise the rich pulse behaviour associated with the unavoidable outcome of having both a recirc valve and an AFM in the charge pipe.
    • Yep, in my case as soon as I started hearing weird noises I backed off the tension until it sounded normal again. Delicate balance between enough tension to avoid that cold start slip and too much damaging things.
    • I'm almost at a point where I feel like changing the alternator. Need to check the stuff you mentioned first though.
