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!

    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
