Gidday,

A quick search for insurance would've found the following threads:

I am with shannons, mainly because at the time a SAu member was getting great deals on insurance for SAu members.

Have fun reading :P

I had to go through Just Cars as they were the only ones that would cover me. I have never had a car insured before (due to only ever driving bunky's worth $1000 and less ;) ) and I am pretty sure I got a fairly decent deal. I have found them quite nice to deal with too, but I have not made any claims so that may change....

I know 2 people who have made claims with Just Cars and let me tell you right now both claims were NOT handled well............. One was a complete write off and they didnt want to pay for extra things that the owner HAD TOLD them about and was on the policy ............. PM 666DAN and ask him about it if you want to.

I pay $70/mth with agreed value of $30k, Rating 1, with Shannons.

yea im thru just cars too, but heaps of cars get stolen each week around cessnock so i think it has something to do with that, and its under a huge carport, not a garage

my friend bought a R32 gtst was one of the nicest R32's i'd seen and he have lost his license twice had 3 previous claims for crashes and stolen cars, VT's VN's VP's etc...

he got insurance for $1400 thru elders, he thought he was the man, i felt ripped off, but then one day he went blasting thru a give way hit a 4WD and rolled the 4WD which had a small baby inside, this was about 3 weeks after he bought it.

he rang elders the other day looking to insure another R32 he was going to buy, they want to charge him $5500 now... haha

Only problem with shannons is you have to be 25 or older to get insurance with them, which sucks completely.

Now that i am off my P's and over 21 and the fact that i have never had an accident nor had a speeding fine or anything like that of the sort, i thought it would have been easier for me to get full comp insurance.

But clearly it is not the case

i was 21 when i first insured my stag with shannons

im 25 maximum no claim bonus and i pay $1800 with an agreed value of $15,000 through Shannons. registered as a business vehicle... I didnt think it was the most reasonable figure, I also have a perfect driving record and the car is garaged in a pretty good area.

    • You know what, I am enjoying your updates, but I have to say it is pretty poor form to walk into a shop that is paying for space and stock on the floor, try all their seats to work out what you are happy with, then buy somewhere else. If everyone did that the shop will be out of business with no opportunity for anyone to try a seat before buying. 👎  
    • Good work, and thanks for posting up your solution for future people!
    • Yeah mate that’s the plan, I just want something I can have fun in and work on during weekends.  There’s really only 1 road fit to drive the car on and luckily is been redone recently.  I do want to tune it next year sometime, no dynos here so I’m looking at an ECU that can be remote tuned. 
    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
