but good work on scanning in the article :laugh:

ah so it is... cheers for the headsup.

Damn, i hope all these thefts don't cause our insurance premiums to shoot up next year. :)

Considering theft risk is a major determinant of insurance premium, I'd say you can probably count on it.

Although, it depends how many of these stolen cars HAVE insurance, and how many actually make claims.

chops is right ive gone from a $770/yr to about $150 dearer and 4g cheaper agreed value :laugh: not happy Jan

they tell me due to the amount of claims being made on skylines which i think is BS cause not all claims not even 10% of claims would of been insured with aforementioned insurer

i guesstimate this due to most people just accepting just cars as being good insurer

Well... Justcar has lower requirements for cover than shannons and have less options.... thats why they generally have a 'take it or leave it' deal going on, where as shannons will bend over backwards for you if you meet their criteria (ie very clean driving record)...

Im with Justcar at the moment but will be going with Shannons next year (when my 2001 speeding fine isnt counted)...

Makes me wonder tho if we should organize an SAU 'badging' day where we let the cops tag the inside of our cars in a few diff pts. Bodykit, Engine, Chassis.... Course we'd be wanting some sorta guarantee that we wouldnt be defected (innocent look).... hrm I can dream cant I?

Otherwise everyone gets a grp deal on a nice 3 stage immob+alarm with GPS tracking and GSM/SMS notification and shutdown...

Oh and some nice digital cell 2 way encrypted radios so we can co-ordinate rendition, extraction and ultimately a painful interrogation for these nubs that keep stealing our rides. I got a really hungry kelpie for anyone who wants some >:action-smiley-069: (NO! I do NOT seriously encourage kidnapping a dismembering car thieves.... Do I?.... hrm)

-D

im not with just cars and bah to shannons they didnt want to know me cause my car isnt behind a lock up garage ... well if i had a lock up garage you almost wouldnt need insurance (apart from the accident cover :))

im with famous and my first year with them i was covered for $20,700 and drops to $16,000 they recon my car is worth 9g and 16g is a good agreed value

you tell me who the criminal is last year administrations fee $50 this year $150 how on earth does it jump up 150%

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
