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

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

  • 3 months later...

some good info ^^^

I just re-insured the GTR

Went for Shannons

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 ;)

    • I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.   
    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
