just car, however i havnt told them bout most my mods lol only the standard stuff like ,pod exhaust rims etc and it came down from about 1850 i think because i had my license for a year and had no claims

sam

hhahah...but if you have an accident without declaring mods they dont cover thats wat i thought?

Who you with Gazza750? My insurance last year when I first bought my car was ~$2800 and now im 19 and the renewal came in at ~$2100 with Just Car, so atleast its some relief although they bumped the excess up a couple hundred, farout. Postcode plays a big role in insurance premiums I think.

Also, with Just Car, its my understanding that you pay extra premium for the first 5 or so mods, then after that every extra mod doesnt affect your premium.

gees guys,

theres a shitload of thins that determine the premium - there is no point saying you are paying XXX amount because EVERYONE is a different risk

postcode/state/location, car, age, history, special benfits, determine a premium.

there is no relevence to what people are posting here.

If joe bloggs lives next door to you, has the same car, you are the same age, same driving history, same insurer, EXACT everything - then compare the premium, and if you're premium is cheaper - dont tell him!!!!

Gee's.

lock thread please mods :)

agreed wilth weevil.

everyone will be different. Gazza750, arent you in your 30s? Perhaps thats why you pay next to nothing for your insurance.

what makes it so hard to believe that an 18yo would be paying $2K+ on a high risk modified Skyline?

i have first hand knowledge of details of single vehicle accidents/claims that Just Cars havehad and after hearing some of the stories, we really only have ourselves to blame for a high premium and those who are a good driver etc etc have to wear the brunt of others stupidity also.

everyone will be different. Gazza750, arent you in your 30s? Perhaps thats why you pay next to nothing for your insurance.

according to his profile he is in his 40s, so that explains the low premium.

postcode plays a big part of insurance costs. someone in a big city is more likely to be in an accident that someone in a small town. also in the big city you have more chance of your car getting stolen. and of course some suburbs are worse than others.

well thats why i started this thread was because they want to charge me 110 bucks for putting in a pod

they charge you for the first couple then after that they dont.. i insured my car with just cars and i told em i had exhaust pod wheels system when i baugh it... then i modded the car.. added to the list fmic boost controller safc 2... they added i think $60-$100

Then i called em back and added my turbo power fc fuel pump inj (but i dont have em all yet) and they upped the value of my car another 1k and didn't charge more on my premium...

I'm not sure exactly how it works but you should hear it all from the horses mouth.. call em and ask em 100 questions thats what their there for..

R33 GTST

aftermarket turbo

pod

FMIC

boost controller

18" rims

3" turbo back exhaust

insurance - full comp from Famous $760 - although I did have to install an alarm

there are some advantages to being over 40 :kiss:

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
