Hey all, At the moment i am having trouble trying to find insurance for my R33 GTST. At the moment i am with Unique car insurance but a few days ago i recieved a letter saying that they no longer insure under 25's (im 23)so at the moment i have until the 28th of may to find suitable insurance but nobody seem to want to insure under 25's anymore. Below is a list of who i have called and their responce

Just cars - they will only offer 14k which wont come close to replacing my car as it stands

Famous Car insurance - Dont insure under 25's anymore

Young and Cool - Dont insure cars with engine mods

Shannons - Dont insure under 25's

Torque Underwriting - Dont insure under 25's

as well as the common major companys that wont touch imports

So at the moment looks like if i cant find suitable insurance i will have to trade it for a normal car at a dealership.

If anyone has any ideas of who to call as i dont really want to trade my car.

PS - yes i have searched

vigil 1300 134 054

GIO 1300 651 229 (as they do a "custom car insurance")

btw i thought just car will do an agreed value?

Vigil is a part of unique who wont take under 25's

I will give GIO a call tommorow

When i called just they would give anymore then 14k :)

dont waist your time on gio they dont cover imports they will put you through a special division went through all the headakes they wanted $14000 just to insure me for one year now thats bull shit. i am with just car and i have 3rd party fire and theft and my car is insurd for $16000 and im 18 only costs $570 per year so if i ride it off or it gets stolen or theres a fire i get $16000 back and its a 32 you wont have any troble insuring a 33 because i had one insured for the same amount bro good luck

Did you try Suncorp ? they do imports, I'm with them and they came out best on price when I was looking

Not sure about the under 25's thing with them tho .. I'm a little older than that

Try Ryno. :laugh:

I actually forgot about them the other day when we were chatting :)

Yep give Ryno a try.

I was looking for quotes for my V35 and they were the best by about $1000.

I was a bit worried cause there small, but a guy on LS1.com is going through a claim with them, and is nothing but rapt with the service.

On a side note, I lost it at Shannons yesterday. Cause the V35's are still quite new here, I had to go through a "special" quote, and in the end they tried to tell me that the agrred price they can insure me for was the FOB price of the car in Japan. That's almost 20k less than what it would cost me to replace the car should anything happen.

i have been with vigil since late '05, at that time i was 21, now 22.

ask to speak with someone else.

this is my second car i have had insured with them.

gio is a waste, dont bother unless u want to fork out $2500 +

and they also have no idea whats going on.

pm me if u wish to ask questions.

cheers

If you think Just Car insurance is going to pay out $16,000 if you write your R32 off on a 3rd party fire and theft policy you had better go re-read your policy.

They may pay you out if it gets stolen (provided you met the policy terms and conditions) and they may pay you out if someone sets it on fire but theres no way they'll pay you out if you crash it. That is the risky part of insuring a persons car and that is why a comprehensive policy is expensive.

If you get an import stolen under Just Cars Third Party Fire&Theft.. you will get about $4k back..

My mate's RX7 got stolen.. worth about $12k.. got back $4k. Think it was $5k payout, and then minus 1k or something for 'handing & processing' - basically I think depot fees, while the cops inspected it, etc.

Basically, if you want coverage for a theft, don't simply get 3rd party!

hey, another thing with justcar, if you cant get the right agreed value or the price seems high, ring back in 20 minutes. I got quotes ranging from 3200-2600 on my old gts-t and it took 4 phone calls to get it agreed for 14. I got quoted 2600 and 2200 for a my GTR (coming) as well, and agreed at 22k. I think alot depends on who u get on the phone.

i went through this as well when shannons pulled the plug on me...

just cars is your friend here Lee...

i am insured for 43gs for my car...which is less than how much i have spent...

but this way at least i have insurance.

i am a rating one driver, no claims for the last two years at all...still, no one would touch me

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
