Help with insurance

[mikep]

Hi Everyone,

Well I have finally found myself a nice , relatively unmolested ECR 33 GTS-T. The only mod done to the car has been to fit a 3" exhaust system, the rest of the car is completely stock as it left the factory back in 1997.

So, next step, can someone recommend an insurance company?

Currently i'm with RACV who won't insure the car, i've got a rating 2 and am 34 years old.

I've called Shanons and the guy I spoke to said for relatively new high performance imports they aren't really competative (suggested at least $1800) and kindly mentioned I should try Unique Car Insurance and Torque Car Insurance.

Any comments, suggestions or additions welcome!

Thanks,

Mike

Yo,

I am with Just Cars! Most people with imports are with them and they are pretty good.

Good luck.

Im with Just car and i have to say im exceptionally impressed with the insurance.. i had someone run into the back of my car and gave me false details. accident wasn’t my fault and the car was fixed 100% by my choice of repairer (thanx troy)... I have heard a few problems with them but i can say personally they did everything they could and were exceptionally helpful...

Edit: forgot to mention im fully insured with Just cars

Thanks for the replies so far! I checked out Shannons first, but the guy straight out told me that for something like a Skyline Turbo they aren't competative, said that I would be looking at around $1800, then quiety said I should try Unique Car Insurance and Torque Car Insurace.

When I suggested I was going to speak to JustCar, he told me he wouldn't recommend them because of their high excess's and hidden clauses. hmmm

So, I rang Torque, number rang out...

Justcar says $1,188 with an excess of $1150.

Famous Classic Car Insurance says $1100 and an excess of $1000, any mods fine as long as they are legal.

Unique says $1411 and an excess of $750.

I got Famous from the link Bec sent me (thanx) and it says they come highly recommended. The guy I spoke to says they are the largest insurer of Skylines in Australia, could be b/s, dunno.

As Unique work out to be the most expensive i've ruled them out. So i've just finished downloading the policy details for JustCar and Famous to try to see who offers the better deal for my money.

I know JustCar are popular, and they advertise like crazy, but the thing the Shannons guy said kinda makes me worried a little..

ps. I pick the car up on Friday so I have to work this out!!

i got quoted by Just Car 1100 . The good thing is they also offer rating 1 protection for extra 35 bucks.
