A few R34 questions

[pear]

Hi Guys,

Add me to the list!

Last week I finally made a purchase – R34 GTT (from Japan/Auction).

Now it’s time to wait for shipping, compliance, etc. Fingers crossed for no hassles.

I’ve been waiting for 2 years… it’s finally happening!

I’ll be following in the steps – exhaust, pod, etc

My big question is INSURANCE.

I’ve looked on this site and got LOADS of different advice.

** I’ve only looking for R34 GTT Owners – preferably South/East QLD.

If you are willing to share your details, can I find out,

1) Insurance Company

2) Approx cost

3) Any policy details (special requirements, etc)

4) Your age

5) Approx location (Bris - North, south, east, west, North/South Coast, etc)

6) Rating

7) Are they ok with basic mods? extra cost?

ANY of the above info would be great! sorry for so many questions!

Thanks for your time,

PEAR

Mines the Manual Coupe, I'm 21, living in the Carindale area and I'm with Just Car - $1998 a year with about $800 excess on any basic claim. The car can be modified as much as I like as long as the car audio gear is <$2000 and its roadworthy. The car is for the agreed value of $33000.

Nice Bayside, should have my silver sedan on the road late April.

thats one sweet r34 pear, got to be happy with that!

As per our discussions last night, I've asked my cousin in NZ to go to the Dealership where I saw R34's about 4 years ago and ask how much service/owners manuals are. Once I get prices and check availability, I'll post it on this thread and we can get orders. I'm meeting him in 2 weeks so delivery here may be fairly quick.

I've been told that a NZ company has translated the Jap R34 Manual.

I know someone in Bris that had a copy. I'll check it out and let you know.

Also, Thanks for the comments on the Bayside and the Insuranace info!

Will send more details on the car when I have them...

so far, R34 GTT Series I - Year 2000, 4 - grade 4 - stock, with a few minor scratched, etc.

Zymotic, that's the BEST deal so far, can anyone better $955?

How do you find Just Cars? Ok to deal with?

Nice looking sedan! I'm sure late April can't come soon enough! good luck!

Choyda, thanks for the info - sorry to hear that you are stuck with $1998!

Better than $955 anyone?

[zymotic]

Just cars seemed ok over the phone but you might wanna find someone who has made a claim to see how it all went.

2 biggest factors seem to be rating/accident history (or lack of) and age of youngest driver.

30rys old seems to be a magic number where things get a fair bit cheaper provided rating is good.

Just Cars were fine with me during a claim...someone reversed into my front bar and damaged it, they tried to drive off but I got their drivers licence number (through force)

The guy supplied a dodgey phone number etc etc, but the claim went fine because I had his correct licence details

The car was fixed all within 2 weeks.

I'm 25, rating 1, agreed value of $29,000, a few mods, paying $1100...the next bill should be under $1000 though

[AFRO]

how many kms if u don't mind me asking?

i'm with just cars too and pay $1600, thats the best i could find at the time,, i.e 1 yr ago,, but will be looking around in a few months when its time to renew,,

I think this part of the post is most crucial. If they can deem the mods you've done to be un-roadworthy, I'm sure they'd refuse cover.

A boost controller is illegal (apparently). Any turbo besides stock is illegal without a modification plate. Tinted windows beyond legal tint are illegal.

I just read that post by Choy and had alarm bells ringing in my head. I'm sure an insurance company would try anything to not cover you and keep the premiums.

Just my 2c.

:werd: in fact it would probably branch even further than that. Im quite sure it states in just cars policy that you must list EVERY single modification to your car....that would include such things as pod filters etc and if these were deemed to be illegal im sure they'd try to get off on such a lame excuse. Keep in mind people that almost any modification is illegal without a mod plate, so be careful in thinking your covered when in fact you may not be.

This gives me the shits, if they are taking premiums for a modded vehicle and you have the mods listed with them, you have an accident and then they turn around and say we are not covering you because you have these mods, then surely you would have recourse to claim the premiums you have paid back, as they obviously had no intention of covering your vehicle in the first place, so therefore they have been getting you to pay premiums for coverage under false pretences.

Matt.... what do you reckon, lawyer boy???/??

[666DAN]

Yeah that's fraud basically!
