im got insurance thru justcars,

$2856, last year 19 years old no fines or claims insured for 22k,

this year $2156, 20 years old no fines or claims insured for 22k.

the $700 drop was good but i still think i'm being ripped a bit, but thats what i get for owning a nice car with abs n airbags at my age ;)

at least im the only one of my friends that can comp. insure a turbo or v8 (bogan VK - VN drivers)

NEED HELP! Im 16 and looking at getting an R33 GTS-T (non-turbo) for my first car and before i go out and buy one, i need to no roughly how much the insurance is going to cost me?

I'm looking at around 1993-1996, non-turbo R33, GTS-T. Spending apox $9000-$11000. Ive looked on Insurance web sites and i havent been able to get a quote straight away. I have been offerd around $530 TPFT, is this about right?

Can anyone help? ? ? ? ? ? :P

i dont think Famous exist anymore, or do they?

Yes they are still around - tried for a quote the other day with them but their underwriter wont insure anyone with a theft claim in the last 5 year (like me) :P but was looking good til i told them that.

and will shannons insure you if you cant keep your car garaged every night?

Tell them.

They have a right to refuse to pay a claim under the duty of disclosure, if they have a reasonable amount of backing to prove had you disclosed that information they wouldn't have insured you in the first place. They have a right to ask for a licence and driving history print-off from your state motoring body. You will get found out if you don't tell and you make a claim.

Best thing to do is call up and say it should have been noted from inception.

stupid thing is also, theres the evidence!!! :D

If I were you I would call them, as GT-R32 said or dont drive the car cause claim time...good bye 15k and the 2k insurance that you have paid for nothing.

I got the insurance 2 years ago and have my license back and have another car insured through them now. just tried to share a funny story.

Yep, Trust me claims officers in Insurance companies check everything. There number one priority is to rule out faulty disclosure. When they read you your "duty of disclosure" when you take out a policy you agreed for them to deny a claim if you lie.

update on isurance, just running round getting quotes.

Insurance sucks is the update for people living in sydney and under 25.

Vigil doesnt insure people in sydney

Shannons not under 25 for skylines

Famous (young and cool as well, famous have taken them over now) - wont insure turbos if you have had a claim- not at fault or at fault in the last year

Ryno - not under 25

Just car = bloody expensive and no pay by the month

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
