Yea i pay very similar to this unfortunately... if it was stock/legal i would only pay about $990....

I am considering trying to get my car past the emssions test for this reason...

From memory i think i only claimed my exhaust as a mod too because thats all i have as a support mod for 400+awkw :thumbsup:. I pay very low considering my circumstances (age + mods + driving record from when i was a young sick k*nt in a NA skyrine thinking i was king lol).

With insurance and rego coming up again in a few months along with my TE37SL's wrapped in some quality rubber im definately going to tearing a big hole in my pocket :(

Tried Shannons but they didnt like my carport with a roller door. Said they wouldnt insure it unless its in a fully enclosed garage which is fair enough.

They are black and white about garaging which can certainly be frustrating. It would be nice if the underwriter did some underwriting and asked a few questions, because if it's under cover, off the street and out of view it's low risk.

matt...but could still be outside their u/w guidelines regardless of how low the risk is.

things have changed since you were at shannons.

I'm sure they certainly have - it was over 6 years ago. I suppose I'm coming from a commercial perspective where underwriters tend to consider the risk itself, rather than being so black and white.

Got a quote today for my R34 GTT sedan through Shannons, very bad driving record, lost license countless times, including instant loss for doing 155 in a 110 zone three years back, only one claim in 5 years which wasn't my fault (got rear ended)... I am 31, live in the bush and garage my cars... Quote was for $950 a year $500 excess..

Does this seem any good guys? Might call up Just Car and see what they can do.

I'm 31 mate. Thought it woulda been heaps as i was very open and honest driving history. I've racked up on average 1.5k worth of fines in the 12 years ive been driving and didn;t want any complications from that. Maybe the agreed value of 10k made it cheaper? Coz I know a lot of you guys would have it up around 15k yeah?

Is there any insurance company out there that insures weekend drivers ?

Or very low KM's ?

Besides Shannons.

I got a everyday daily car where i drive all day and night and the evo is like once a weekend car for me.

However im paying full rate at NRMA .. >.>

hi there dude, just checking out this insurance site your promoting, and as far as i could tell, they only offer MOTORBIKE insurance. seems strange to be a sponsor or endorsed by a MOTORVEHICLE site..... i got this from there site...

"

At Famous we specialise in insurance for:

Bikes - Motorcycles, dirt bikes and scooters with discounts for the over 40's rider.

It's "weekend cars" rather than "weekend drivers" Longz

For a reasonable Sum Insured...

Choice is between...

* Shannon's

* Just Car

* Dawes (high end)

* Lumleys SV

* Piranha (is a broking firm)

I pay $2200 a year with RACQ insurance but thinking about swapping to NRMA as i can't get unlimited mods or windscreen protection with RACQ which is retarded.

I have a 2003 V35 Skyline 350GT coupe, i am 20 (21 next month) lost lisense just under 2 years ago for going 10km over the speed limit TWICE within a week at the SAME speed camera (hidden bastard), never had any accidents and live in a safe-ish area.

NRMA will charge me an extra $30ish a month which turns out being nearly $2600 a year to insure my car for agreed value at $26,000.

Shits not cheap for under 25 and a "unique" vehicle :/ i wish it was as cheap as my girlfriends Getz, she pays like $400 a year.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • 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.
