top stuff greg. i agree with ya completely. but the only reason i would consider full comp is in the event of theft. what happens if the car is never recovered ? or is recovered but burnt to crisp. yes, 3rd party theft and fire sounds good. but remember the payout amount is 5000 minus excess. sooo the max u can get bak is 4200.

any car worth under 10k is not worth full comp. 16k, yeh i would say so.

Yeah i agree with Greg... that's really how i saw it. I'm with Just Cars. they were the only ones who would insure me. THey quoted me $3500 for full comp! BUT $750 3RD party fire and theft. and i'd pay 800 excess in even of fire or theft and get $5000 back = $4200. i tried everyone and NO ONE woudl insure me.(except just cars)

  • 2 weeks later...
Checked my insurance papers today, and its infact $699 3rd party, and $849 for fire and theft..

$1399 excess....

And i get if the car is written off and im not at fault i get $3000 back..  

Bonus is im allowed unlimited mod's as long as they're legal!

Which isnt to bad.

And yes, the insurance company really didn't care if it was turbo or non turbo... the fact that i was 16 is what they cared about.

If the car is written off and your not at fault you get the market value of the car back. (If it's not your fault they just claim it on the other persons insurance).

But yeah, I'm running a 1989 Nissan Silvia CA18DET turbo, third party property fire and theft, auto, 19 years old etc etc, $550 a year.

    • I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.   
    • As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.
    • Yeah car has 110 on the clock. That said the front turbo (that exploded) doesn't seem to be the original, it has a S1 part number but the car is a series 3. Yep, in the cat is where I first found the turbine wheel pieces - a couple decent sized ones, then a whole lot of fragments.  I agree, probably makes sense to upgrade parts that are being replaced. Things like rods would be 'nice' but realistically it seems unlikely they would need replacing. I was hoping that it was a case that they generally f**k up the valves but not the bore, or vice versa. Is it generally the scour damage rather than ceramic bits getting mashed into the piston tops / valves? I tried a search but couldn't find any threads with pics from the guts of a motor that's had this happen.
