im 18, neva had insurance and neva had and accidents/fines

I was quoted $3,500/year - and I only have one demerit point. They don't seem very consistent. icon13.gif

Either way, I can't afford it. I think I'll opt for third party, fire and theft.

Im with Just Car, havent had any probs but then I havent dad to make a claim. Im paying $1000 for 93 32gtst with a few mods. 23 and rating one. Dont know if this helps or not. There is a good story in the new issue of SPEED (no. 6) well worth a read

I am insured with torque...$970 a year. They quoted me 1100 or so and I told them that was unreasonable so they said they would do it for $970...

Just one question though, Why are we all comp insured when if you have a stack 99% of our cars are probably technically unroadworthy in some way shape or form, therefore voiding any insurance agreement....Dont bash me, I have it too, my car is definitly technically unroadworthy.

dude, i got pretty excited when i read your post so off i went to the just car website, and went to fill in the online quote requester form, and wouldn't u know it, they don't insure anyone in WA or NT. and yep, i'm in WA. :P

im on 3rd party fire and theft with just cars. for my r33 gtst.

i had to make a claim last year, due to an uninsured wrx driver, driving into me.

they paid out the full amount of $3300 that the policy covers, and then offered to collect the rest from the other driver at the same time as recovering the $3300 that they paid out to me. the rest incidently was $3300.

my car was repaired at my choice of panel beater, and the assessor went down there checked the car out and gave it the green light.. money was sent and there wasnt any problems..

just cars definately hassle and stress free for me

:(;)

muck

sorry i didnt get ur claim? isnt 3rd party if u hit into someone else?

i mean how did just cars pay for ur car when the wrx was at fault and he had no insurance?

how much u payin for 3rd party insurance with just cars? how old r u? and is ur car legal/technically unroadworthy?

cheers.

just cars will pay a maximum $3300 for an uninsured driver at fault.

25 .. rating 4 i think, paying $555 for third party plus fire and theft for up to $4000. or $305 for third party.

under mods- its stated as exhaust mods and cooler.

i always have wheels... im pretty sure i mentioned that.. so im not sure why its not stated.

i guess its technically unroadworthy, atmo venting bov.

anyway.. there wasnt any hassles for me. :(

I don't think I'd go past Famous again! Currently paying $1700 for full-comp... 23 Y.O., rating 1, 7 years driving (they quote the driving years as from when you got your learners.)

Mine's ensured as a daily driver, only condition is that it's not ensured on the street after 11pm (must be in driveway/garage).

Extremely happy though! Oh, and this is without the 10% discount, I've only just discovered this forum recently and haven't signed up for membership yet!

I called famous today and am definately going ahead with them.

27 yo male driver

Modified R33

60% NCB Rating 1

Nil driving record ar claims history

In SYDNEY (apparently the worse place to insure an import)

Advanced driver training (thanx to job)

My old insurer has bumped up the price over the last 2 years by $1000, stating CPI as the issue, taking the policy to $3000. Rang Famous, nothing but proffesionalism and got it for $2000. And they pay by the month!!

VERY VERY VERY HAPPY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just called Famous and they'll insure me in a R34 GT-t (agreed market value $40,000) for $5500 comprehensive, $2000 excess, $1000 age excess and $2000 theft excess. Keep in mind im 19 year old, with only 1 1/2 years of insurance under my belt...

Has anyone tried to make a claim through Famous?

I heard on the SilviaNSW forum that it took ages to go through and that aspect of the service was a little difficult.. I'm currently with Just Cars (and was raped) and if these guys are all right, then I'll be moving to them.

Speaking of getting raped - I gotta pay some tax. Being a contracter sux sometimes. :)

after reading this i called up for a quote and it was 2020 for a 21 male on a modified 92 r32 gtst for full comp. compared to just cars who quoted 6300. the thing is though that they didnt ask for my postcode and didnt want to know anything about my mods. they seem to deem fast cars as only twin turbos and the singles are not. plus when i told them that i have had 2 speeding fines that it wasnt a problem and that everyone has had at least one or two. all these things are creating a kind of tuna-like smell that seems to be coming from the application sheet that they faxed me. someone please clear this up cause its a sweet deal and i really want to take it up.

aybee, there's nothing to worry about. they just don't go through all the crap that other companies do. they basically know what to charge in general using levels of mods and types of cars. i was pretty sceptical at first but now i'm insured with them.

/begin rant

i think most companies could do something simmilar and charge less but they are all greedy, some more than others. seriously, what the **** warrants such huge differences in price between different companies? can anyone see a standard and compare one to another? i think not. it's an industry where they dictate the price and we have to cop it sweet. there's no set standard, they love it and try to get away with as much as possible and it sucks big time

/rant over

take the policy, you won't get a better offer.

i'd love to hear from someone who's made a claim with them though. anyone???

Does Famous covers your car for 24 hours a day?

Can you park on the street at night and be covered.

JustCar does. I park my car on the street during work, and there is no lock up garage at night either.

If Famous does the same, it is a very good deal, if not, then the added cost of Just Car is justifiable.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
