Third Party Property Damage Insurance plus Fire and Theft

All the benefits of third party property damage insurance, plus fire and theft cover for your car for market value up to $10,000.

Thats only a $2-4k loss if my car gets stolen, better than $9k haha

but dont listen to me,

go Full insurance :)

In my opinion, you should just go with 3rd party insurance. $3k+ a year is going to be pretty bad. When/if you go 3rd party, just try not to do anything stupid on the road (yeah, I know it's easier said than done) because if you write your car off, that's it. The few seconds of that adrenalin rush is not worth it :D

Good luck with everything.

Just cars will charge you a helliva lot more to pay by the month or every 6months, can't remember exactly but i think 30% sounds right.

When i called up alianz pay by the month only increased the premium by $30

im on my P's and im insured by just cars, also with a 96 model r33 coupe.

But im on 3rd party, not sure if ur going full compehensive or just 3rd party.

i just got my car under insurance on Tuesday and im paying a little over $600 including fire and theift...

apparently every month the prices can either rise or drop, i dunno thats wat the guy i was tlkn 2 at just cars over the fone told me...

something got 2 do with statistics due to your area code..

currently insured with just cars. paying $1130 down from $1480. car is insured with aftermarket front bar, cooler, zorst and sound system to $1000.

rand young and cool and guess what, 980 full comp, plus higher value on car, from 13 to 14.7k, also down goes excess to 1600 instead of 2100.

go with young and cool. but hey im 22 now so bit diff but in the last 3 yrs have had a license suspension and 2 x 3 dermerit point fines so might be similar.

otherwise ensure the car under a parents name and then have you as a nominated driver of less than 5% of the time. will be a little less expensive but you dont build a rating.

thats my 2 cents

I'm insured with Ryno Insurance, I think it’s about 1100 or 1200pa. and 1150 excess. Had a claim a few months ago, when someone ran into my front bar, and all went through fast and smooth. Got quoted 2200 from young and cool with 1600 excess. Just car quoted 1700 with 1400 excess. I don't think Ryno do people under 20.

You can't do that can you? I thought that they just ask for the youngest driver of the car and determine the price on that driver? It doesn't matter what other drivers there are, they just charge you according to the youngest driver?

It will end up cheaper if you put it down as you use the car 5%... so the insurance company think its "mum" driving it and you use it like once a month. But i know couple of people who have had claims with this and the insurance company came around to neighbours asking who drives the car etc...

Being a young driver with an import seriously restricts the range of choices you have, i'm full comp with just car and paying a little over 4K, and has to be paid in one go, apparently theres a few smaller specialised import insurance companies out there, could be worth some investigation, i know i'll be looking when my insurance comes round again!

I didn't realise you could put down that you drive the car 5% of the time. I don't have my licence yet, but I've done a few online quotes and I haven't seen anything about only driving the car 5% of the time so I'm kinda lost. I guess I should start to worry about insurance when the time comes.

Nothing wrong with looking ahead. Best to ring the insurance company, you should get more information from them then their site.

I dont know what insurance companies do it but i know they do. Might not be 5% but may be options like drives 2 hours a month etc.

My next door neighbour had it for his 300zx and then had a claim and they asked my dad who drove it. He was smart enough to say the parents.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
