Thanks all i have made a short list of other potential insurers and will be contacting them all.

It's funny that with shannons, i was told that once i turned 25 my prem. will drop under $2000. When my rennual came it increased from $2100 to $2300, through no doing of my own. When i questioned why this was they simply said "due to the amount of claims made with my type of vehicle". So no matter how carful i am on the road if some other idiots (non of them on this forum, i'm sure :) ) keep having accidents i will still be stung. WHAT B.S.!!!

I was paying $4000 frm CGU w3nkers via Heath Lambert that decided to terminate carriage for import cars insurance, then went to Just cars for $4200.00 ... after three years, ive paid over $12K in insurance which neva gave me one moment of benefit... bsides the odd... peace of mind.

now that ive handled sooo many sore ongoing costs amplifying legal matters in relation to insurance failing to pay up to our clients due to some minor excuses about legality of certain modifications, certain obl. to inform them of every mineut details, certain minor breachs in cond of car etc etc that ends up them not accountable to the policy, its a forever ending battle.....

i don't believe in insurance anymore.

just got third party.

a muthda fooken good alarm.

don't park anywhere for more than 20minutes... (it only takes that long)

and have a second car or three.

i'm with you miz 33t... just get third party and have a bomb or co car for daily driver or beater as the yanks like to call it.. Shit if you are paying 4 grand a year in ten years you could have bought a gtr with that cash. and insurance costs are only gunna to go up... its rape and pillage. yes and a damm good alarm ..

btw off top nice dawn run pics. esp u and mona heheh

Just to clarify,

Im 22 in June.

Clean record up until Nov 2002. now only 1pt.. who cares (no insurance anyway.)

My car is considerably, uninsurabally modified.

Anything that goes beyond the general/specific modifications that are a high canditate or remotely an epa/rta suspectible victim is also uninsurable.

But i guess, the only way to find out if u have wasted several years of hard earned thousand of dollars on a "'strong as oak' policy", is to have ur car stolen or raped, then try to lodge a claim.

anywayz..

goodluck to all!

we all living in this ridiculously high cost of living society surrounded by prick ass companies making the use and abuse of us paw ppl with their obtuse, stringent and unrealistic parametuers... ^_^

hahahah dun worrie... im just a bitter ol' hag.

hey hippy, I use torque underwriting too, do a search, there is an old thread with insurance co names and numers.

As for company car, the only way to get a better deal than retail is to lease thru someone and get insured on their fleet. My car is just insured directly so I just get the regular price. Still pretty good though, about 2100 for 28yo, 97 GTST

This is the one reason for selling my good old Skyline R-33 GTS-t.. Damn insurance.. Call me a traitor, about to get into a 400HP GSR Lancer 4wd.. Funny thing about this though i am paying less than half the amount for insurance.. And the Lancer will be nearly twice as powerful?? Figure that out.....

fark that, nice avatar...

Im with franks though on this, id never buy a car and not insure it... When i had the 994t porsche, the insurance went up to $9000 per annum, i wasnt going to pay that so i sold the car... never did it cross my mind to drive it without comprehensive, accidents do happen....

thats just my opinion anyway...

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
