sounds about right man i have a S1 Rx7 many years ago was stock no turbo and was paying 1500-1600 cant quiet remeber

did you try young and cool insurance or even famous

http://www.youngandcool.com.au/

young and cool wouldnt insure me cause im too old :happy:

I wouldn't touch young & cool. When I first bought my 33 & was 23 they wanted a fortune to insure me (rating 1 something like $2300!) & their policy was crap.

The other options I had was Just Car Insurance, Unique Car Insurance & Shannons. Both unique car & Just car insurance wanted more to insure me & their conditions were not as goon IMO.

Unfortunantely I've had to use my insurance more than once with them & apart from one problem I had with them (& was resolved) they've looked after me very well.

my insurance was due 2day...$908 just cars full comp rating 1

i tried getting a better price but they wont budge lol.

the excess is the killer, when it comes to a car work 11k, id just get 3rd party (thats wat i did with my old GTS cos it was worth 11k), cos if ur gona pay 2k premium + 2k excess, theres half the cars value anyway, u could prob get close to taht if u sold it for parts if u wrote it off, and if its a small crash, do the repairs urself and save the money. :happy:

I'm 22i have a 95 GTST Mspec and its costing me $1058

I'm pretty happy with it as it was going to cost me more to insure a newer (98 - 99) Honda Accord!!!!

who was that with i think im paying $770 full comp :happy: with arround $1000 exces and insured for $21,700

Vange try Famous Insurance

I'm 24, rating 1. I was paying just under $900 with Just Car, but have recently switched to Shannons. It is a couple of hundred bucks more expensive, but we get a bit of a discount for having 2 cars with them, plus their excess is much more reasonable (about $1,600 less) than the one that Just Car has.

Up until recently, I was using Just Cars Insurance. Renewal was $880 on full rating 1 with an excess of $1100. They offer a "Rating One Protection" for a few bucks more which is worthwhile.

The problem iwith Just Cars is that you have no choice of repairer. This may not be an issue to some of you but when you're paying alot to insure your pride and joy, you want to know that whoever does the repairs will do the best possible job.

I went through this exercise recently as some prick wrecked my rear quarter while the car was parked in the street and never left a note. Had to pay the full excess out MY pocket. So I went to my choice of repairer and got a quote only to be told by Just Cars that I had to get a quote from one of THEIR selected repairers also. Guess who they picked!!!

I have been recommended to H2P Insurance (it is part of the RAA). Prices are pretty much the same as Just Cars but more importantly, you get to choose your repairer.

I believe Shannons also offer choice of repairer still.

i got recommended H2P checked them out and found they were deer and dont think they did pay by the month they did have an ok agreed value though

shannons wouldnt insure me cause we dont have a lockup garage

that left renewing with Just Cars which i really wasnt happy with there agreed value of 16g

so i looked into famous which was talked about by others on this board as being reputable insurer so i went with them a straight cash payment would of seen my insurance @ $700 full comp rating 1 for life but i didnt have the cash so its pay by the month with 10% on top with agreed value of high $21'gs

try vigil, i'm with just cars at the moment but when my policy runs out in december i'll either be trying them or Shannon's. Shannon's will only touch you though if you hardly drive your car and are a car club member etc.

I wish I could change from JCI but noone else wants to insure me at a reasonable rate cos my driving history isn't all that great, even though I've never made a claim or been in an accident. Ah damn speeding fines... I remember Shannons basically told me to get f**ked.

Shannons are the way to go. However I do believe they are pretty strict on under 25's so being 19 you might not be in luck.

If you're going to have a turbo import expect to bent over on either price or policy restrictions with any insurer. If you find one tha is cheap, there will no doubt be a reason for it so make sure you read all the policy clauses.

But if you're interested there is a long winded thread here:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=12142

_8OO5TED_ (Matt) mentioned he worked at Shannons. I contacted him to cover my car and got a good price and flat $500 excess. His role has changed at Shannons so the dude you can contact now (i think still) is GTRSOUL.

his post about it is here:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=2284980

- Flat excess

- Pay by the month

- Will still cover you if someone else was driving (higher excess)

etc

I was with Just Cars (who were fine) but after needing to make a claim for a break-in and the excess was 1400+ the decision to change wasn't a hard one.

Yeah i had problems with Shannons they quoted me $2000 a year for just me as a driver and i have a clean driving history, where H2P i am paying $110 per month which is a little easyer to pay then Just car insurances one off payment. As what was said H2P you get to chose your repairer where with Just car your cant, But remember its all good with insurance i would hate to not drive my line without it :)

and BTW always ask lots of Questions like what you are covered for and what your aint and allways make sure you get a Statment of Advice before you chose the insurance policy because if you rush in to it and just sign the dotted line thats how you might get ripped off trust me i used to work in Insurance

I'm surprise some of you guys have had so much trouble with shannons. I'm not in a club or anything, I don't have a lock up garage (only a carport & thats what I told them). Though I didn't have any speeding fines to my name of any sought.

And yes the do give choice of repairer & agreed value, which is always a good thing to have.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
