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...

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
