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:

    • Thanks, I'll shim that plug and hopefully it fixes it.  Yes still factory turbo for now, still have the misfire it's not as bad but still noticeable 
    • I had someone check the CU, they said it was fine but it could be buggered  I was only running around 7-10 PSI on the dual stage controller, but my boost gauge is shit house and needs replacing so I'm not getting a true reading.  Then I ran from wastegate pressure as per Turbosmart but still have the same sort of issue 
    • Yeah this is a thing. I've had mine setup like this for a few years now, works fine. If I dredge my memory bank, I think I had to do this after I removed my factory dash.  So you've tried it on gate pressure, I'm assuming this is the factory turbo? Did you still have misfire issues with that setup?
    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)
