Some very expensive insurance floating around so it seems...

I'm paying $1800 a year with Famous and the car is insure for $45k...

How did you get that.. mines under market value and they said i would need someone to have it valued to have it under and agreed value.. >.<

valued to be on market value?

how does that work??

I guess with imports its a different kettle of fish

I know but if Stan has his on agreed value and with the same company as i am WHY ISNT MINE YOU KENTS!

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

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
