hey ppls.. i jus got my full license and thought why not try a new quote with justcars.. currently im paying $4k a year for the gtr :happy:

to my suprise it showed $2670 when i finished the quote! so i gave justcars a ring and they came to the conclusion that it gave me the wrong no claim bonus for the online quote? and if anything it can only be lowered to $3200 and thats only if i cancel my existing policy and go onto the new one..

so basically i thought of another way.. they gave me the quote on net, and theres an option to pay for it on net without talking to anyone... so can i jus cancel my insurance wid just cars, get my money back (i jus paid 2k this month for 6months) and then just pay the $2670 for 1 year over the net?.. or will it jus turn back around on me?..

im also thinking of raising my insured value while im there haha

thanks :angry:

Yea I was paying 3k last year with famous, they requoted me 2.6k for this year. I did an online quote with Justcar they quoted me 1.5k, and an extra $40 for the max noclaim bonus offer thingy.

I was like ermm sweet.. Paid on the net and BAM got my insurance. Didnt talk to anyone.

Note: If you cancel with justcar I think there is a cancelation fee (not sure how much)

I went through shannons and they were not only a lot cheaper, but also the excess was like a difference of $1000 odd dollars on the happy side....

Shannons definately the way to go......

fair enough......

older than that :happy:

good driving record helps though.....

I still reckon that you should try shannons next year (they will insure you if you are under 25) as even there excess is only $500 (and that includes wheels and exhuast) and they have lifetime guarentee on all the work that gets done....

Yea.. well i have a clean reccord that they know of :angry: lol.. so it should go down.. one of the guys on here works for shannons.. so i might speak to him when the time comes round..

But always shop around before i purchase something that big..

fully insuring a car worth under 30k is totally not worth it when you can just get 3rd party for like 5th of the cost... doesnt make sense to me to pay thousands plus an excess for the "what if" chance when after like 3 years you have paid the price of the car...

I'm with Stan, some of those prices seem very expensive.

I know I'm an old Bastard (35), but I'm paying $1406/yr for 30K car with Torque. I lost my license 2 1/2 yrs ago (clean for the past 5 years otherwise), told them and it incresed the excess from the normal $600 to $1200. Don't know what the deal with under 25 is, might be worth checking?

Also spoke to GIO about a quote the other week, they now have a department that deals with import and modified vechles. When I mentioned the loss of the licenses, the girl replied no problem we insure the uninsurable, quote came to $1440, don't know might also be worth checking.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
