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

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
