I think his name is matt with the username boosted..

It was while back now, so i cant remember.

But hes very helpful person!!

Thanks everyone for your advise, Chris from Shannons was cool as and came back with around $900 and $500 excess for $15000 cover. Just cars $1500 + $1600 if a claim is made and they wouldn't budge at all. I also received a quote from Torque for $699 with $500 excess for $16400 agreed cover (pending photos of the vehicle) before speaking to Chris. I just need to mull up my options now, but will more than likely go with Shannons for the name and reputation as I can't seem to find much info on Torque's reputation.

It's all relative dude! When you reach 21 you will wish you are 18 again and be willing to pay a big premium for it :P Thanks for the link!

I wonder if insurance companies look after you if you've been a long-term customer...

I pay around $900 for a '99 stagea, rating 1, through just car. I'm 24.

I know skylines cost more to insure due to the risk of theft but $1500 for a 30 y.o. sounds a bit too much.

Hopefully you can find something cheaper and reliable.

Try suncorp, i've heard they're not bad on price. :P

I said I was over 30! I am 42 LOL. So I thought it was a bit rich charging me $1500 + $1600 excess for a claim when I have not ever made a claim and have 1 speeding offence in 25 years driving. Apparently I was right at the end of the day! Suncorp quoted me $1300 but included 14 days car hire with every claim. Nice but not nice enough.

What I have found is once you are with an insurance company, they think they have you and drop the total coverage every year but up the price. It seems crazy to me if they want to keep your business! I don't think Shannons use that equation though. I think they use an agreed price and keep the premiums relatively the same year to year. Most mainstream Insurance companies use my first sentence as a sentence for being with them untill you decide to piss them off.

i'm 23 and pay $1050 through just cars for my 33, valued at $14,000. it would've been $970, but i put the missus on there and she's only a rating 2. but i don't live in the city. i live in a small town so that would knock it down a bit.

Thats weird dude...Just cars is normally a lot cheaper once over 30...i was 30 when i insured the 34 2 yrs ago and got a rating 1 and am paying bout 900+....unless u've got a bad driving history???

I have had 1 fine in 25 years LOL it was 2 months ago way after I got my Just cars quote a year ago for $1500. Just shows there is huge variance between companies based on whatever seems to be the thought of the day huh? I have never made a claim against an insurance company in that time either!

you got a quote from just cars a year ago??

get a quote today and see the price.

Im sure it will be under 1k for you. Excess will be a little higher than shannons tho.

I got a quote a year ago and ran with it $1500 now renewal is same with $1600 excess on top of that if I make a claim but $800 less coverage on total value of car than last year and they wouldn't budge a cent when ringing them, so yea that's the reason I wanted to drop them like a hot potato :P

I know a 19 YO paying $8400/year with Just cars for a GTR Not sure on Excess but would be a killer. Bad record.

thats just stupid. if it was going to cost me that much to insure a car i wouldn't bother buying it. get a shitter and drive it for a few years then get it and save yourself a lot of money in the meantime.

I agree! If I really wanted the car that bad it would honestly make me think $8400 for a $35000 car Hmmmmmm Should I even bother insuring it at all or at least consider just 3rd party insurance. I have discussed it with him and he doesn't seem to mind paying it for now (more money than sense I reakon) He is a semi high flyer for his age. He had a huge accident about a year ago that caused his dilema involving many cars not just his own.

Or.. buy the GTR, third party cover (fire and theft) put 8 K in the bank, put another 8 K next year... 16 grand in two years, if he has an accident... 16 grand to patch it up.

the guy is a moron to pay that much.

Maybe you are paying higher due to your location.

There are many other factors that could relate to it.

Is your car garaged. Is there a high theft scene around your area.

Have they got your details correct??

Ring them up and ask why it costs a little more compared to others.

:) I am happy now :sorcerer: I can pay by the month with Shannons with no penalty $77/month to be with someone I want to be with. Always garaged, 3 point black wired immoboliser/alarm. Area is considered moderate for theft not high.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
