Guest top_secret

im in sydney which is rediculously expensive

famous quoted $2300 for a $20000 r32 1992 gts4 which is ok

but

they quoted $3600 for $35000 1993 r32 gtr which is awesome

suncorp wanted $7k

nrma wanted $5k but wouldnt insure anyway

just cars wanted $5k for a gtst !

im 25 , in sydney , rating 1 protected , no at fault claims/accidents , 3 speeding fines 5 points off .

They said the quote will be even less next year when a couple of points go back on my license and I am 26 .

Im pretty stoked first time I can look at a gtr !

Was it confirmed that Response will no longer insure import vehicles, last time I rang (a couple of months ago) there was no issue with insuring imports and they quoted competitivly.

I will ring them myself next week - and give a cofirmation (if one doesn't appear before then)

By the way everyone - I just rang Response again, they DO still insure imported cars - but they have changed underwriters. They quote has jumped from $1040, to $1480. So obviously this new underwriter is not as generous...

But they defintely do imported cars.

The excess of a flat $750 is still the same though.

I'll check with Famous and Just Cars and see what they are currently doing.

I'm just spewing I didn't jump at the $1040 policy a month ago....seems that decision will cost me over $400.

Could have put that money to much better use...

Ah well, you snooze you lose.

Just for some more Info..

Just Cars wanted to charge me $5700.oo for my R33.. Famous said $3200 .... with a $2000 age excess.. BUT, pay by the month ....sweet as :rofl:

I'll be going to them very shortly ;)

Plus I like how they think...

They have a Standard excess, and a different type of excess is a "If you hit a tree" excess.. I think thats awesome :P

Oh Yes.. Anyone In Victoria, can meantion my car club to recieve a discount as I'd worked something out with them.. as I'm the President and all :P

talk to Robyn and meantion the 'Nissan-Mitsubishi Car Club' ...she said she'd handle all quotes for my club personally..

I rang suuncorp/metway about 2 months ago and they quoted me about $980 a year with $1000 excess and no one under 25 aloud to drive, but I didn't get my car until last week so when I rang them up again I was waiting for a big difference in price but I ended up getting comprehensive cover also with a windscreen a year for $1047 still no one under 25 aloud to drive it and it's $1000 excess. I'm a rating 3.

They didn't care about a couple of speeding tickets and I also asked them about mods and I got told as long as I inform them of the mods it's all fine and there not illegal mods. He said they only really worry about the mods if your under 25.

I'm suprised you got insured with Suncorp craz0....

I rang them asking for insurance for an R32 GTSt and they said they would not insure this model at all.

Maybe they are happy to do 33's though.

I'm >28, rating 1, no mods, no speeding tickets, flawless driving record.

Hey ppls

I was wondering about famous' policy cos I read on their site that they do not insure cars parked at shopping centres and train stations, but when I read the actual policy booklet, there is no mention about any kind of parking restrictions (other than that they wont insure the car if it is parked within 500m of your home of residence overnight).

Excuse my stupidity and all that, but I was wondering which should I believe? I reckon if it aint in the policy book, it is fine.

I think the site is a little ambiguous. The policy actually states that it does not cover your car if you park it on the street within 500m of your home, or in any public car park (ie shopping centres, train stations, paddocks, etc) between the hours of 11pm and 8am. I actually like this rule, because it keeps them from having to pay out on idiots leaving their cars parked anywhere thinking "she'll be right, insurance will cover it if it gets stolen" and thus keeps premiums lower.

JimX. Thats exactly what I interpreted that to be as well. I also agree with the sensibility of that clause too if you look at it that way. Cool, at least I can leave my car at the shopping centre during the day to get groceries now knowing that my car is insured haha. :D

    • 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.
