haha

excel, 20, in dads name, 6 points on license, $600 with sgio

excess is 400+350

shows ya that sometimes it doesnt really matter what type of car it is, but what type of driver it is (i mean george's is cheaper then mine and the car is million times better :P and its in his name - mines in my dads name)

What type of insurance is yours? Mine is just the most basic 3rd party one, & hence the price (well at 1st it was $328, but JC shaved off $20 coz I paid online using credit card :) ).

The type of the car plays a bit of a role I guess, but not much in 3rd party insurance. If I still had my mum's old VN as my car (thank god that I don't :woot: ), I would guess that the price for basic 3rd party would be ~$200 max with RAC. Coz it was like only ~$120 with my mum when she still had the car.

Car: R33 GTS (NA :))

Cant put it in my dad's name. Cant go up too much when I get my license, can it? They dont even know about my exhaust or rims :D

your getting your balls ripped of on that price.

My NA R33 was only $700 and agreed value of $14000

this was when I was 17 too and just got my license.

Only had my Skyline S2 R33 GTST for the last 15months, first year had if insured with Famous for $732

I am an "old fart" of 41 with a pretty clean driving record and no claims in the last 7 years...(2001 hit a Roo in my Commodore 50k's outside Kal); so I thought WTF and jumped on SAU to search for an alternative,...some posts mentioned "Just Car", hopped on thier website filled in the online form including all mods quote came in @ $750

Rang Famous to give them one last chance,...they couldn't car less.....So now I am with Just Car....thanks SAU

Edited by R32 Driver

Got my just car insurance renewal (3rd party fire + theft) in the mail today and the bastards jacked up the vehicle excess by an extra 50%! The vehicle excess was $500 last time I renewed and now it's been jacked up to $750! I've been with them for 3 years and haven't made any claims, the premium has only gone down by about $20 since the first year I was with them. Going to call them up, complain and then look for other insurers if they don't do something about it. I looked at the policy document briefly and didn't see any mention about excess possibly increasing if you don't make a claim.

Sounds like HBF could be good but do they insure under 25 year olds? I'm 22, had my licence cancelled in 2005 for excess 0.05 and have had a couple of speeding fines. Also one claim back in 2004. Only looking for third party (with fire and theft if available). Oh yeah it's an R33 GTST with barely any mods (exhaust/suspension/air filter).

btw when you guys get quotes and don't have such a clean driving record make sure you listen to the questions they ask carefully. Most of the times they are only interested in claims/infringements/offences in the last 3-5 years. If they ask you about your history and don't mention how long ago to go back, ask them because it'll make a huge difference to your premium/excess.

My vehicle excess is $750 as well, which gives a total excess of $1800 :) ($450+$750+$600)

& JC got my policy screwed up as well, they added the theft excess ($500), even though I only applied for basic 3rd party. Took them like 6 month to realize it & only just got it changed correctly today.

Hopefully my premium goes down a bit next year, but not keeping up high hopes for it...

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
