Hi there. I'm in Sydney and getting quotes on a 93 model R33gtst 4door. Live in a good suburb and car in a garage at night.

JCI - $1650 or $1750 with minor mods (Full no claim bonus with AAMI..70%) - 23 yo. 5-6 years driving, no accidients, no tickets (hoping to stay this way :D).

My Dad rang up - 58 odd yo and full ncb etc. Without declaring me on the policy it was still $1400 with no mods! I've heard other guys on here that are 30 yo with insurance just below the 1k mark etc.

Should I try elders or torque. Are they as reputable as Just car?

Dont know why just car aren't giving me a great deal :)

thanks

Just tried a qoute from Famous, under my 50 yo dads name with me (23 no bad record, no claims) as a nominated driver 25% of the time.

Premium of $3100 with $1000 excess ($2000 if its my fault) on a 95' skyline gtst totally stock except for exhaust and pod filter.

What a joke. This is even with SATRAK installed. Insurance companies don't like me for some reason. Think i'll stick with satrak, and 3rd party property + fire + theft.

I hate all insurance companies

I go a qoute from Just Cars, 94 R33 GTS-T, modded, full comp: $2000, excess $1500, theft$1000 excess. Covered for all mods and agreed value. Third party was $608 but only covered on fire and theft up to $5000. Unlike most of you guys I am in a country town, about 4 hours from Melbourne. I am 20 no claims, no fines, rating 4 I think. I will be going with Just Cars.

Atreyu... my renewal with famous just came up - so i thought i would give Just Cars a crack... anyways, they want 4500 from me... im 21 perfect history no mods. Ive been insured for 3 years, 2 years with my skyline. But live in sydney... i still think they are excessive... but man - if u got that quote - go for it, im getting a very similar quote with famous, and i have two other ppl on the quote as well!

good luck -

as chris rock says...

insurance should be callled... IN CASE SHIT HAPPENS

cuaz, in case shit dont happen, shouldnt i get my money back??????

From what i have read in this forum, it has just made me a little worried, i payed $1750 for insurance with just cars, for a 96 r33-II and i dont know if i have any restrictions on distance i can drive and i dont know all the finer details that i have read here.

insurance companies are painfull.

hey croatiandelite, before i bought my car i got a few quotes on 93 r33 gtst (same conditions as u except i'm 23) because thats what i thought i was gonna buy. I got a quote of $1900 from just cars (i have no driving records and i quoted as a fairly stock unit)

try again maybe

Just got 3 quotes on Skylines from Just Cars... All had std $450 excesses plus more excesses on top - see below.

$1,168 with for an R34 GT-t with several mods - Rating 1 60%NCB, low risk suburb with no bad history, 29 years old.

For an R33 GTS-T it was $1096 with the following endorsements:

• An additional excess of $1000 applies and will need to be paid on any claim arising from the theft or attempted theft of this vehicle.

That boils down to a hugely excessive claim cost for an older & (on paper) a low risk driver.

I might try Famous, but don't like the sound of the 11pm curfew - I usually am not driving after 11pm, but what if I was rushing to take my partner to hospital at 3am & crashed. What, no insurance payout?!?!

man thats not a bad lot of quotes. Guess the extra few years help. What a pain.

I don''t trust famous as far as i could kick em. Pretty much only covered during peak hours, if the sun is in the right quadrant of the sky, theres no rain, and there's noone else on the roads within 15 metres of your car!!

But then again i dont trust any insurance companies....can anyone taste the bitterness?? :Paranoid:

Well I just signed up with Famous Clasic Insurance - What a F@#K AORUND!!!

The hummed & ha'd about sh!t, were unclear about my qns & could not confirm whether the "standard" claim excess was the final figure or whether they charge extra for a stolen claim. When I insisted on knowing, the answer was "You need to pay for the policy before this can be confirmed". What a friggin' joke!!

They time-wasted me & said they would fax thru documentatio in 20 mins. After 4 phone calls, they said 30 mins & it ended taking a FURTHER 2 hrs.

Not sure what kinda show they are running there, but I hope they pay out (if req'd) a lot simpler than when they sign you up.

Just Cars I have been with for 3 yrs & they have nowhere near the problems & indecisiveness as Famous.

I will be going with Just Cars as they are very helpfull.

    • 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.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
