I'v been with just car since i got my license. First car was a 93 180sx turbo, and the cheapest quote i got was around $2800, went with just third party plus fire and theft, which was around $700. Now two years later its down to about $400 for my gts4 with an rb26. Couldn't justify paying that much in insurance when i only paid just over double that for the 180.

I only pay fully comp because of the theft chances :happy:

I don't drive irratically, sure I might get speeding fines (none in the GTR yet, touch wood) but third party F&T is a waste of money because they only cover your car upto $5000 which is pitence on a ~$25,000 unique car.

Which means, by the time I have paid my car off, it will have cost me approx. $52,000 including interest on the loan and insurance.

the thing though is shannons and hbf and 90% of places wont give you insurance for a turbo import under the age of 20 or most cases 25. so for us younging who are 17 18 19 we get screwed over most ofthe time.

but im happy with 1785 a year for now. im 20 in nov so maybe then it will drop.

all i know is dont go to sgio so so expensive!

if your 21 and over, PM me as I work for Shannons and may be able to help you out with a competitive qte and premium coverage, especially if you have a modified import.

Applicants with recent Loss of License, need not apply.....

Unfortunately Just Cars is probably your only option, but atleast you have some kind of coverage :P

do they cover people under 21 with import and turbo but clean driving hist?

that was my biggest thing my age car and import.

same when i got my loan. the first one took 7 working days to say no but if you want to buy a holden yeah we will give you as much money as ya want...

I'm with HBF got my modded 1995 R33 insured for $17,000.00

$200.00 excess all up $638.00 full comp

I'm 30

only thing is they wont cover my car if i have power fc or boost controler

but will cover after market turbs,my coilies,FMIC and piping,zorst,rims,body kit,everything but the one thing you goto do

got my stagea also with them for $17,000.00

$200.00 excess (thats max nominated on both) $640.00 full comp, my wife also on that policy

im 19, r32gts-t modded. Guild Insurance $750 excess $600. insurance is under my name but dad is put down as main driver. i pm'd u with more details....

but if (not that i want it to happen) you crash doesnt it go against your dads name to?

i was lead to believe that if you put them down as first driver they still get stung for it...

not to mention not everyone can have their parents down like that because too many insurance policies already...

having your dad as the main driver is great to get a cheap premium, but if the insurance company investigates and finds you are the main driver, they can decline the claim making paying all those premiums a complete waste of money....

thats true, how they going to monitor me or investigate. watch me for a week. i dont know, but yeh dad gets penalised aswell. but all mods are listed and cars insured for 20K so im happy :D

I'm with Just car's using 3rd Party Fire and Theft. Way I see it is that if I'm not a dickhead and behave myself on the road I don't really need full comprehensive. I'm also covered for $5000 if my car is thieved or burnt to the ground.

I pay $400 a year

Btw I'm 20 years old. And yes if you look on the policy for excess for female drivers they are less. My 17yo sister on P plates pays a lower excess than me if she is listed on the policy.

  • 2 weeks later...

I'm 19, and Just Car quoted me $1516 with $1800 excess for a R33 GTS (non-turbo) with an agreed value of $12,500. Although, the postcode i live in probably contributed.

Have you tried Famous? They're based in subiaco.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
