R U SERIOUS???? Thats not full comprehensive though is it????

Wat did Just Cars quote u???

Reading through the whole post I can't believe the varied quotes people get... it's impossible to get a straight answer out of an Insurance company it seems.

Like someone will get a huge quote and then another person will ring up with the same details (car and history wise) and get a totally different quote... crazy stuff.

I actually did this with a friend once , we rang Just Cars and they quoted him $1700 for a stock R33 .. Rating 1 , no mods etc.. Then I rang them like 2 mins later, spoke to someone else and they quoted me $1300 for the same car with the same rating and the same postcode!.... what the!

Anyway I am with Just Cars after being with Young & Cool

With Yound & Cool I paid $2700, 24 yo rating 3 that was for an R33 GTSt II valued at 27k, and it had all these crazy claus like u cant park it anywhere after a certain time other than the house it is insured at, and you cant drive it to work etc... total B#$%@#$&!!

I then got pissed off with them and joined Just Cars as they were the cheapest @ $1900 for 24 yo rating 2 this time (as just got it back).. this is with FMIC , wheels, lowered, zorst, stereo.

Anyway now that I am 25 & in October I get my Rating 1 back I will try Famous & also Response once October hits... hopefully I will now get a cheaper quote.

When I spoke with Just Cars a few months ago to update details the guy goes "we dont have an age policy"... I was like wtf!, yeah as if a 18 yo will get the same insurance as a 30 yo.. what a twat!.... do these people get like common training when they get these jobs or its it just a case of "lets make the rules up as we go"!!

Never ceases to amaze really.

Anyway that is my rant/story.

Rob.

Who are response? Does any one know any contact details or a web address? Is it an insurance company or is it like prosperion where u have to lease the vehicle?

As soon as I saw young and cool's policy, I wasn't even interested in getting a quote. I'm with justcars now, but will probably move to famous when my current insurance expires.

Does anyone have any experience with making claims on a famous comprohensive policy?

famous classic car insurance have the same policy of having it only parked within 500m at night,dont know from exact time though.

i toild them i might need to take it to work,a nightshifter.and they said they will insure if it has an alarm of 3 point immobilizer in it,as long as its in the car park or is in someone else's driveway at night.

OK here is what I can get

Details:

>28 yo, not parked in garage, high(ish) risk suburb, only driver, rating 1, R32 GTSt (factory std)

Just cars: $1350 + about $2000 excess

Response: $1040 + $750 excess flat

Famous: $1040 (matched response's quote) + $1000+ excess.

Response be the winner be a fair margin.

They also say they will accept choice of repairer - this is full comprehensive insurance, no limit to kms per year, no other restrictions.

Maybe the lack of mods do help, I'm not sure.

I'm still currently with Just Cars - but when I actually get a chance I will be changing to Response quick smart.

Hope this info saves a few other people getting ripped by Just Cars.

To all the sceptics about Famous and their claims.

For reasons I'm not going to get into I had to make a claim just yesterday with Famous. They went out of their way to help me and were professional in every way.

My circumstances were unique, as ever case is, and required unorthadox measures to be taken. I did not want to put a claim through as the damage was minimal but they were helping me by writing a letter to the other party and gave me advice which no one else would or could have.

If they will help me without getting anything in return (ie no excess, no further action taken) then you can be certain they will honour your claim and give you attention if the situation arrises. Having said that I hope none of you will need to make a claim ever with any insurance company.

Have a good weekend everyone.

Iam very glad to hear that. Every time I speak with Robin or Olivia they are always very nice aand courteous over the phone. Thats good customer service and Iam glad I singed up with them.

Gotta say if I hadnt browse these and silvia forums I would have never heard of them.

Just wanted to share my experience with Famous.

Called them this morning and got a quote for a stock 1993 R33 GTS25t, 24 years old with 55% NCB in inner Sydney.

$2600 for 12 months. Best quote i've had, beat Just Cars by about $200.

Spoke to Robin, very helpful answering all my questions, sorted the whole thing out.

Edit: Also only 1 nominated driver, and i told them it was my daily driver + commuter. Damn good price.

Spoke to Famous today, they couldnt beat Just Cars quote of $1900 a year.. which is rather surprising.

Basically I was 24 , rating 2 , 1 accident (write off) when i took up my policy with Just Cars for that price.

Now im 25 , will be rating 1 in a few months and live out in the country , but they couldnt beat $1900... what the.

ps I live in SA.

    • I am getting the same issue. Did you resolve it? I just got it after installing my new super coppermix and literally the same issue, new fork, new 18mm carrier, release bearing that came with the kit and replicated the exact same sound. 
    • If you like - I have the STL files so I can email em. There's a couple of gotchas (i.e the holes are not threaded so you might need/will need) to utilize some M3 melt-in threads for some of the points. However if you want to be super accurate, and are willing to remove your calipers and your SHOCKS it's a really good tool. You also might need to scale the part that measures the tyre width a bit wider. It defaults to a 7.5in tyre and I mean who is running that. Luckily with the magic of CAD this is very easy to rescale.
    • jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed
    • In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.
    • So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.
