Werd.

I got a quote from Just Car insurance for the Cefi on Comprehensive Coverage

The stats-

- Im 22.

- Im in WA

- Lost my license in 2003 from Demerit points for 3 months

- Lost my license in 2005 from Reckless driving for 9 months

- Never had insurance on the car before

- Insured as 6cyl turbo manual etc

- Agreed value of $11k + $1.5k wheels

- Notified them of mods like suspension, exhaust, racing seat, fmic etc

- $1300 for the premium + $1200 excess for accident and $900 on theft.

Not bad I thought!

Im going to try for an agreed value of $15k + wheels but I thought considering my driving record and the car type!

From what i can see with insurance, its heavily based on location (post code)

Im 23, lost my license once for excessive speed, and to insure a stock cefiro(!) was $3033!!!!!

fark, i mean i only live in the second highest location for car theft in australia.....

need to find a relative from the country :D

I got a quote of about $3500... but thats when I was 18. I also didnt list all the mods... and have done more since...

If anyone has 3rd party fire and theft with them, make sure you read the WHOLE policy. With my car if I chose that, I still have to pay all my excesses, and if the car is stolen, they keep the car, and the rego etc, and its only insured for an 'agreed' value of $5000, so doing my sums, I worked out this isnt a good deal.

And Im in Brisbane.

yea i got quoted 1950 in sydnye with JCI......when i was 23 ......stock rb20det ceffy .....an i live in very safe area ! so i went with fire and theft instead .....but i will prolly only go with third party now

its prolly coming down now ...as my third party has come down 150 bucks ....so yea can be expensive

at the time of first payment i was 24, got my RB25DET ceffy insured with shannons, full comp, agreed value of $14K, i paid $12K and they're cool with that, unlimited mods policy for $1150.

i'd never had full comp insurance on a car before, had a clean bill in the last 3 yrs (love the old SA system where a fine from a speed camera didn't incur demerit points).

my old man just got insurance with Shannon's for himself on the ceffy, as I don't drive it any more, so no point having it under my insurance policy.

$55 per month and $300 excess. He's 57 and has a 65% no claim bonus with NRMA :O

When the car was insured under my name with Famous it was $900 per year with $1000 excess. Once the policy on my Skyline runs out I'll be switching to Shannon's as well methinks.

i paid $1050 for full comprehensive, i'm 21 and rating 2, i live in regional victoria, and agreed value on the cef is $11000.

Victorians are worse off because they can only get there full license at 18, where as SA (where i grew up, lol) you get it at 16 and a half. So i've had my full license for 5 years.

lol you guys are lucky.. with JCI, if my car got stolen without me knowing who did it and in the first year of me having it it would cost around like $7k unless the theives would be nice enough to leave my wheels or stereo behind.

The place in WA that everyone goes through here politely refused.

Everyone else pretty much laughed at me.

Insurance? ;) When I applied for insurance on the Stagea - for an agreed value of $18000 they wanted $6900 per year! :O

Holy talitos batman ! Maybe thats because they know the details about the car ? Engine etc.

When I insured my cef the guy at just cars actually know what it was :P Hes like nah dont paint it white, theres too many white ones :)

Did you end up getting 3rd party at least ?

    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?  
    • Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts
