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

Hey fellas

Great forum for a great car. Just got a V35 and need to get it insured.

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
