hey i read through a few pages here, im on dialup so cant go through 30 pages,

i just got a 1994 toyata soarer with lexus badges on it, its a V6 non turbo auto.

Ive called racq, nrma, budget, and suncorp, all of them either wont ensure me cause im under 25 (23) or cause its an import.

I will call some of the companies mentioned in this thread on Monday, but anything over $1000 and i dont think i will be able to afford it??!?!? :P

For someone with experience how much should i expect to pay?

Give Just Cars a call mate, they will be able to help out, no worries.

P.S, are u sure its a V6? I thought the non-turbo Soarers were inline 6cyl 2JZGE engines....

i am having a hard time finding insurance for my car. 29yo rating 1 with Famous r33gtst but now on-street parking and Famous+Shanno refused. Only Suncorp and Just Car so far. Any suggestion ?

get a garage :mad:

nah, just joking mate, there isnt really much you can do in that case, tough situation :S

29yo with a gtst shouldnt be too much though ? $1500 max ?

On a lighter note, I rang Custom Car Insurance (GIO offshoot?) for a quote on my lightly modded S2 R33 GTS-t Sedan, they quoted me about $3550, which made me laugh as I told them that I currently paid $1,200 with Just Cars, with all my mods listed, me being a 24yr old rating one male.

i found that with famous if you give them a quote to your liking they will try to beat it. i told them just car quoted me 1900 so they did 1600. just car actually quoted me 2500. works well actually. but we'll see

Yeah famous give good prices but you just need to be aware that they are an off shore backed company and as a result are not bound by Aus Legislation so if you have any issues with them you really dont have anywhere to go in regards to the Aus authorities to try and resolve your issue :D

EG: consumer affairs, etc....

Just some info that i think you should know before signing :)

Has anyone seen RYNO's Club Racing insurance extra?

For an extra $500 on top of your normal excesses, you can claim a motorsport accident if the event that you crashed in was a CAMS approved event (which I think most SAU/WRX events are)

They will pay out up to $20,000 to repair your car - or the value of your car if it is less than $20,000.

I think thats a pretty good deal seeing as I do all kinds of club events! Does anyone else concur?

Just called Just cars insurance for a comparison from Shannon’s insurance on my GTR. What a comparison.

Just cars

Script kiddy, couldn't handle talking

Is the GTR manual or Auto?

Insured for what I paid for it (bargain that it was)

$1600 excess

$2260 premium

Shannon’s

Someone who could talk to me

Knew the car from the start

Insured for more than I paid for it (agreed value but at higher market value)

$500 excess

$14?? premium

From the conversation or little of it I had with Just cars I wouldn't trust them to pay out. It was like speaking to a recording, it was worse than the Indian call centers.

You guys that like Just cars must have terrible records. I wouldn't go near them. Even NRMA was cheaper!

I have never even been pulled over in 3 years let alone got a speeding fine,Just cars are the only company that will insure me that have a premium + excess isn't more then the car is worth.

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
