That price is about right but as dantheman says what is the excess.

I fell off my chair when they told me what the excess was when I got a quote.

The only problem with Just Car is they are annual prices too not pay by the month so you have to pay that up front.

Im going with Vigil insurance(Sponsor on Calaisturbo.com) who do pay by the month (Im 29 though).

With the prices they ask which is all business unfortunately there is a lot of young guys with nice cars and no insurance.

A story my dad told me was when XU1's were brand new he was only 18 or so and working as a labourer. I think they were about 20g's and he almost bought one until he checked out insurance. They wanted the equivelent of the car per year(NO SHIT). He told the salesman to stick it and walked out.

Anyway as I get older I seem to ramble on a bit.

Good luck with your insurance. You will need a personal loan just to pay for your insurance.

Cheers

as well as them not doing a higher value much over the market.

no good if u plan to highly mod your car...

no do they offer choice of repairer so u will most likely have some cheaper 'unknown' fix it, rather than a recognised specialist.

Im with Shannons, as I work for them, but im still happy to pay a little more for HEAPS better cover and localised service too.....

Get the agreed value i want and can pay by the month at no extra charge as well as being able to mod my car as much as I like without being charged extra premium each time i do it.

when i got my car i was 18 still on P plates they quoted me $1100 now that im off my P plates its $1000 i dont kno if that has anything with being a chick but yea sounds a bit right with ur insurance! My excess is i think about $1600

Good luck:)

you got very lucky I reckon!

Are you noted as the main driver???

yes im the main driver...no1 else drives my car! and the cars in myyyyyyyy name!

flash89 u could always put the car in your parents name and the insurance will b under there name and u can b a nomiated driver...cheaper that way also!

ok im 19 no prev crashes etc and i got charged $1785 for a 95 gtst at 13k market val. no mods other than exhaust listed. thas full comp. other wise third part f&t was $486.

how old are ya missy? that could have alot to do with it. i know that i got it cheaper cause im a chick. my xs is $1150.

no that doesnt work :turned:

the younger driver has to be 1st driver due to htye being the higher risk.. i know as me and my oldman try that when buying my skyline

and flash thats a pretty good quote, just cars wants $2200 or something like that and im 19, driving 2yrs with the skyline, value at like 18k thou and got mods listed too

ohh yeah MIssy pays less cuz she is female, for those people with justcar insurance check the excess, female drivers pay less than males do

cheers michael :D

im 19......my car is market valued at 24k, ive had no prev crashed either....i got told it had something to do with the age of my car coz its 17 yo but im not 100% on that one......

and flash 3rd party would probley b better than nutting until u can afford full comp!

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
