if only JCI offered that!

Unfortunately there is alot Just Cars dont offer, but hey thats why they generally have small premiums and will atleast offer you insurance regardless of age/record.

You guys should be happy with what you pay

My premium last year was $4400 for a $44K 33 gtr with mods

This year im pretty stoked. $3165 with 40% no claim, 24 yr old in sydney. But my car value has dropped to 41k

Thats big $$ :D

Is it heavily modified?

33 GTR for me as a 24 year old with JCI was $1200 fully comp which was standard apart from an exhaust.

Interestingly I pay less to insure my Lexus with RACV than JCI quoted me. I pay $530 fully comp on the IS200 and JCI wanted $900.

On the original subject, from my previous insurance experience both here and overseas, anything illegal voided the entire insurance whether it contributed to the claim or not.

exactly, the boost controller wasnt the cause of the claim, right? hense they paid out. i doubt many assessors could confidently examine a modified Jap import and identify all the mods and what they do anyway.

think about it logically for a second. if they didnt pay someones claim out because of a boost controller or something similar it would kill their business. (half the people with policies would pull out). for legal resons they probably have to say they wont but they always will.

I've recently received a few quotes..

Cheapest were JustCars but they don't have pay by the month. Just Cars have a horrid excess should something happen.

Famous Car Insurance is pretty damn cheap also and do monthly.

Their excess is a little high.

Shannons have a pretty good all round policy, free windscreen, really cheap excesses and a pretty damn good price and no extra cost for monthly. But no under 25's.

Vigil... hrmm They were just over $200 more expensive than Shannons or more importantly $500 more than Just Cars. They required a receipt of the type of alarm and came across as being very picky. Their excess is pretty nasty, no free windscreen. They do monthly.

Free windscreen is a pretty big one, I've always used it in the past. Why put up with a crack in the windscreen if you don't have to. :P

I've got just cars insurance full comprehensive

98 r34 gt-t skyline

agreed to cover listed mods - boostcontroller, fmic, bov, exhaust

agreed to cover listed accesories - turbo timer ,alarm

agreed value - $34000

rating 1 - 24 yo

premium = $1100 next year falls to about $900

i reckon that's pretty reasonable don't you guys

when you say they agreed to cover your mods, are they covering the car with the mods fitted in the event of an accident claim etc, or covering those items for theft....ie if someone breaks in and steals your boost controller, TT etc,

    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
    • February update 🙂 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear!
