excess 600

I heard on the radio last week, that Perth has just become the car theft capital of Australia! YAY!!!!!

http://www.perthnow.com.au/news/western-australia/wa-car-theft-leads-nation/story-e6frg143-1226133739412

I wonder if this will start to affect insurance premiums in the coming years?

Not sure, Nate. I didn't compare it with other insurer and I had to take my HBF insurance off when I arrived in Brisbane because they don't operate in QLD.

Did you cover your mods? I've got my wife as second driver as well. Maybe that's why?

NRMA will beat just car quote by 10% and u can get windscreen cover for $60 (well worth it).

I just did a just car quote and its $1014 just standard options, no mods (dont increase price anyways unless u put in a extra $ for wheels) but nrma wont recognise that so leave it off. NRMA will allow you to increase the insured value for eg 31,000 to 45,000 an extra $115 a year or something. When i was asking re turbo etc.. also you dont need to tell them about any drives as they will cover ANYONE that drives your car.

Yeah, NRMA is good in that it covers any driver.

I chose Just Car mainly because of the mods and the car being an import. I covered the body kit and wheels. Maybe that jacked up the premium.

I will see how it goes. Some of my friends had bad experiences and some had good experiences with Just Cars.

That's bad. I hope it doesn't get worse for the sake of my friends back in Perth. Myself lived near Gosnell surburb so was pretty scary to hear that.

Regarding insurance, they might start going into which surburbs are high risk. My other car's insurance increased because my surburb in QLD was affected in that January flood.

NRMA will cover mods and import (as long as they are ADR approved). Only thing i dont like about NRMA is you dont have choice of repairer.

Just sorted out insurance for my 2005 350GT sedan today.

36 yr old male, no accident/claim history, clean driving record.

Just cars quoted $885 with excess adjusted to $600 (to match NRMA), called NRMA and they gave me $775(approx, can't recall exact figure), and also incresed the insured amount to match Just Car's agreed value.

The only down side is they couldn't include windscreen cover on the quote, but they said once the policy is paid, I can call up and add windscreen cover for $60.

I just changed my insurer to NRMA

23 now well in Jan.

1 at fault accident 2 years ago.

2006 coupe

$1740 with 1000 basic excess.

Mum is second driver - no accident history.

Before I put mums name they quoted $3100 -_-

I guess they believe if we share the car, there's less risk of an accident because mum has better driving history and less time for me behind the wheel lol

I think i just got a pretty good deal from NRMA

Car is 2008 v36, no claim/accident history, 31 years old, premium $1150, excess $550. Includes windscreen option (unlimited with $0 excess). Does not include car hire.

They matched a previous quote from just car and lowered by 10%. :banana:

I pay a shite load more than most.

Just cars

age 22

No at fault accidents

All mods insured

1 license suspension

Car insured for value $21 500

yearly $2800 ($2000 if I didnt have 1 license suspension)

And FYI for just cars - if you have an at fault accident you need to get 2 quotes from their preferred repairers but you can also get one of your own , however they have last say over who you have to get the damage repaired with

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
