Just got my premium from just car and it has gone up 270 in one year, agreed value went down 1100 also.

Called them up and they changed premium still 160 above last year and agreed back to what was before.

Im 28 on rating 1 with no accidents or claims.

Apparently its because its a popular car and many claims have been made

Who are you thru and what are your premiums?

Looking at calling shannons to see what they say

Shannons wont insure unless there kept in a locked garage at night most of the time.

I cant complain with Just Cars, I got my renewal 2 months ago, nothing at all changed. Rating One, Full Comp, Agreed Value of $34,500. Suspension & Exhaust... And I only pay $1170. I am now 22. I used to pay half of that for my first car (S13, when i was 17) for 3rd party only!!!!

Im with Shannons, I found them cheaper then Justcars and they insured me for full value unlike Justcars.

Im 20, and they have claseed me as a rating 1, im only paying 980. but have huge excess for my age, which was the same with Justcars.

Brad i'm paying $1100 premium and like $400 excess with all mods like PFC, Cooler, wheels, kit! Thats with Shannons and i could pay by the month as soon as i started(none of this 1st year crap) and choice of repairer! The only catch is it "supposidly" cant do more than 5k kms a year! But meh i don't do that anyways!

EDIT: BTW my excess was like $700-900 before i turned 25, now 26!

Shannons FTW with my situation! If i remember Just Cars quoted me like $900 Premium and like $1600 excess, So naturally i told them where to stick it!

Another vote for shannons here. I pay ~$990 per year, 26 rating 1 for life, agreed value of $16k, and $300(??) basic excess.

Thats on an R33 GTSt Ser 1 with mods of susp, exhaust, kit, wheels, stereo, momo wheel. And any future mods they are fine with.

Best quote I could get.

Shannon's is pointless if your cars a daily driven car, and if you do 'x' amount of kays don't lock it up in a garage etc. I don't understand you guys that pay all this money for full comp but don't tell them all your mods, u do realise that if u have an accident and they see that you've got stuff which u haven't told them about then they won't cover u!

I have to pay this comp insurance til i finish paying out the loan. Once thats gone ill hopefully have a daily driver and then i can get this 'limited km, locked up' insurance at a cheaper price.

Another co. is Vigil insurance (if you can ever get through). For me, their price was similar to Shannons, but without limited kms. May be an option as a daily driver? I just chose not to go with them as I had a hard time getting a hold of them to actually get a quote, so was worried if I ever had to make a claim

Im with just cars, rating 2 now. $2,400 a year agreed value of $28,500. However, might reconsider full comp... Some advice guys, read your fine print on your insurance policy. Road Worthy means 'RTA' approved (or whatever your state road authority is). This can be debated.. if you dont have engineering certificates (hence defectable mods e.g. 20" rims, exhaust) then they COULD reject ur claim if the mod was seen to be the cause or a cause for the accident.

I suggest you guys ask.. youll get this response im sure "check with your state road authority to make sure you are road worthy". I might be stressing to much over it but remember We live in a very specific world.

I am with Shannons, and the quality of cover they provide is excellent.

The excess is reasonable (unlike others) an d they will accept the mods I have (and I told them of all mods)

The premium isnt cheap but compares well with other companies

Justcars was a lil cheaper, but their excess is 3x more

Famous didn't answer the phone, online quotes had errors

$700 full comp. age 33 rating 1

about $1000 excess and agreed value of $21,700

i was with just cars but didnt want to pay 900bux full comp and wasnt happy with $16000 agreed value

im with westfarmers insurence.

i pay $770 full comp. age 19 with rating 1 :(

$900 excess if my fault $600 if its not and insured for $14,000

they dont give a shit whats done to the car and very rarely would they put the cost of full comp up with a new modd.

downside, you must insure EVERYTHING with them but thats not really that bad ;)

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
