My experience with Just Car was also good - had my R33 stolen 3 months after purchase and never recovered - it was insured for agreed value. The claim was sorted out efficiently with no resistance and a minimal amount of fuss. Would definately insure with them again.

R32 gtst $14000 agreed with just cars I'm 24 rating 1 and Im paying $920 a year.

Shannons could even come close to that deal.

Yup i just had the same thing $913 for me i'm 24 and rating 1, shannons where $1600

I'm seeing a lot of variation here with Justcar.

When I got my quote, I did it a few times online, same everything entered into the fields and each time it came back different. I finally got $1800 for full comp for R33 Gts-t for full purchase price when I was 19 (mods: Exhaust, pod, stereo).

Now i'm 20 and it dropped to $1,341. I'm pretty happy with that, though they dropped the value of the car by $600.

Has anyone noticed that JCI's excess has gone up though?

In 2005 it was as follows:

$400 Standard

+ $400 for driver under 22 or, $300 for driver over 22 and under 25

+ $700 Due to vehicle and modifications

2006 Now with the car exactly the same:

$400 Standard

+ $600 MALE Drivers 16-21 or, $350 MALE 21-24

(I havent bothered to put in female excess)

+ $700 due to vehicle

So basically my excess has gone up $200 for no reason the pricks.

Oh and one more thing, as far as I can see on all my old Renewals and the PDS there is nothing extra to pay if the car is stolen (apart from the $400+600+700).

But I did a quote online yesterday for shits and giggles to see what they'd give me with different mods and it came back roughly the same, however attached to the bottom was:

Additional Theft Excess: $1000!!!!

So that'd be: $400 + $600 + $ 700 + $1000 if your car gets stolen thankyou very much!

Thats a $2,700 excess for those who are bad at maths.

As far as I can tell however they haven't added this $1000 theft excess onto my insurance policy though? I hope not anyway, its bad enough with the extra $200 on my age.

Sorry, End rant.

i think that the $1000 theft excess is the only amount you pay if your car gets stolen and the $1700 is the amount you pay if you are involved in an accident and are at fault.

of course you wont have to pay these amounts if 1) you were not at fault at an accident and you have the details of the other party or 2) you know who stole the car/police catch the criminal.

You've got my vote Justcar

Yeah I was impressed with (and accepted) their full comp quote for my R32 (with all mods) for $1099 :)

especially since I lost my licence earlier this year for speeding :)

(Friend of mine suggested them cos he has his crazy Verada with them)

Tried getting a quote from Famous but they never got back to me... :(

JCI's service is alright, but their premiums are crap. AAMI is cheaper for me, and I'm only 20. You'd think since JCI are supposed to be the 'cheaper alternative' underwritten by AAMI that it would be the other way around, but it isn't so.

Simply depends on the individuals situation which rates come out better. But you are right at your age you'd expect to be in Just Car's market - not AAMI's. You just can't tell... but you are enjoying better excesses with AAMI I would expect anyway. :P

another happy customer here:

21 with average history ( lisence suspention x1 not at fault acc x3 )

Insuring R33 S1 with fair few mods + sound system and 3K wheels

$1400 year

Just made a claim:

Not at fault accident - Front damage $2500 to fix

and gave me choice of repairer ( they are not even AAMI Approved )

and they didnt want to look at the car just approved it over the phone - no hassles

verry impressed

we pay big money to insure our cars the service should be good

(problem is it so often is not)

What car do you have?

Usually AAMI doesnt touch imports, thats what Just cars is for. They are the same company anyway.

Just cars

1994 R33 GTS (full comp) = $2400!!!!!!!!!OMG IM BEING RIPPED

but they were the ONLY place that would touch my car

next year it will be $1700 and $1800 if i turbo it

BUT, if i throw a turbo on it this year they will only charge me and extra $8.00 weird huh???

EDIT: i forgot to mention im 17, so i guess it isnt that bad in the big scheme off things.

Price difference for my brand new Tiida:

Just Cars wanted like $2100 or something rediculous.

AAMI insured me for $1300.

I thought since I'm "Young" and "Just got my licence" (well not really) that Just Cars would offer a slightly more competitive premium.. oh well never mind.

That said the same story was present when I had my (import) RX7, JCI were heaps pricier than other quotes I had.

Maybe they just don't like me :(

JESUS, your 17 and paying 2400 a year...... what a waste of money!

When you have an accident and your at fault or it's not your fault and the other party isn't insured $2400 isn't a waste of money buddy, bent bits on a modified car add up pretty quickly, not to mention if its stolen or catches on fire. :)

The suburb you live in and other aspects such as where the car is parked at your premises, lockable garage, carport, street ect all have an influence on the price of your insurance.

buddy... ? wasnt aware weve met? . my comment went straight over your head. insurance is very worth while but i dont see the sense in a 17 year old paying so much for insurance.. but at least he has it.

ps: thanks for the stating the obvious regarding the costs too. i had no idea// END SARCASM

MATE , he asked if he was missing something, so i informed him why his quote was different to the other guys. If you want to drive an import at the age of 17 thats the price you pay, your comment didn't go over my head BUDDY, if your going to post, make it of a constructive nature, thanks PAL// END OF SARCASTIC POST. :)

what are other people paying for insurance for R33 gtr's and what are your conditions. i got a quote for full comp for $2200 from just car insurance. thats a daily driver, with unlimited mods, im 25yo and a rating 1. my excess is $2000 for a prang.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
