I knew it would cause some commotion so here it is...

Originally had the car insured with JustCars for $28k + mods when I was 19, they charged me $2500 for that year. I had a crystal clear driving record and was on the absolute maximum NCB. A very very sweet phone call with one of the JCI reps also made my deal a bit sweeter too.

Come renewal time, I was short on cash and did not want to pay the $1800 that JCI wanted for the new premium - I also took this oppurtunity to declare all my new modifications.

I shopped around and found Famous - told them I heard they were great, had a few friends with them (this is for real), held a CAMS licence, part of a CAMS club, taken a few driving courses, had an alarm, lived in a suburb with 0% crime, garaged the car, etc etc. Most importantly I told them I was making a decision between them and JCI :happy:

The took the bait... awesome deal - paid there and then over the phone. Rep was really helpful too, but I did have to call back 2 weeks later to ensure my modifications were on pen and paper though.

here is a big tip for you all. stop comparing your insurance quote to the guy next to you. it's completely irrelevant. so many factors go into them determining your premium and excess so just accept that some people pay less than you, and it may not seem fair. focus on what YOU are paying and ring around and get some quotes. that's the only way to do it.

This is very true. I once got a quote and gave them the wrong postcode (one suburb over -> less than 2mins drive), difference was $800....

i had an accident history and within 3 years and i was getting quotes of $3500, just over the past few months the 3 years passed. i called Famous and JCI and they both only wanted $1500, goes to show...

only difference between the 2 was famous would insure it for more.

I am a 19 year old and am with Just Car Insurance. I tried Young and Cool, Shannons and NRMA and they would not even look at insuring me. I only pay $2800 a year for insurance so I have to say Just Car is the way! :laugh:

I am only new on here... Can someone tell me how to change the engine type that comes up when I post? I have an RB25 motor in my car not the RB20E that automatically comes up. :laugh:

the engine type is associated with the amount of posts you have, the more you make the better your engine will be. you can also go to your control panel and change your member titles to whatever you want

My only question is; do the insurance companies gauge "traffic" offences as ALL offences that carry a demerit point? Or are they only interested in stuff like negligent driving, speeding, recklessness etc?

good point beer baron intiially the thread was about IF i could pursue my lower quote amount since they gave me one (and i do assume by law if you are quoted for it, they have to live up to their side). i guess this thread went abit off topic hahaha

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.

      Any idea where I can get genuine MAF apart from used ones? I can't find any only for GTRs and unfortunately that price is not in my budget 🤣 I might gap my plugs down and put my splitfires in, they were only in for a year or so before I started the rebuild
