i went just cars after NRMA tried to rip me a new one.

im only 18, 1year driving experience (there books) and i got 3rd party property damage cover for 550$ and i was a further 250-300 for fire and theft. cover up to 10000$ i cant remember how much the excess was though lol.

NRMA wanted 1100$ not fire and theft. what a rip.

yes just car is really the only choice. shannons wont cover under 25s, so not even an option.

im 20, and can get my full licence in a few months. and i got a quote for $2200 comprehensive (fairly modified R33 gts-t). and yeh about $800 3rd party+fire+theft up to $10k

the excess is fairly high, especially on comprehensive. but you can increase your excess by up to $1100 i think, and save over $900 per year on your premium. as long as you keep that money set aside for worst case scenario, you could save over $900 a year!

nrma LOL. my dad was quoted $5000+ (i was going to have him as primary driver)

Ummm.....

To be honest, there is no point saying what you pay because everyone is a different risk.

For example what abo bob pays here in sydney with his gtt compared to....say a bathurst member is completely different.

Unless you live with someone who is the same age,gender,same driving history, same car, same value, same coloured undies etc etc you will all pay different premiums.

so anyway, EDSC - Justcars or GIO Custom car would only be your best bet for yourself.

Justcar only covers you if ur mods are legal...so if u have any illegal mods like an atmo BOV or FMIC u technically are giving money to Justcar because they arent gonna cover you in an accident....CORRECT or INCORRECT??

sorta incorrect.... I have engineers certificate... so it's legal... the car has to be compliant with ADR basically... thing is; it can comply with adr and not be engineered if you haven't gotten it engineered... so real question would involve looking over their policy... then again, anal legit pink/blue slip places are as bad as cops when it comes to passing a car as legal. no certificate, no paper -> get it engineered and you're set :(

Yea...u got the point.... :D well, I just want to do a research on the company and the estimate price range and i got quite a lot of ideas from you guyz here... ;)

I think justcar much more suitable for me but i'm still confuse about some other stuff like the engineer certificate...

What if i do all the mod myself, how do i get the engineer certificate ? My car will be illegal without the certificate ? If i done the mod myself, where do I report my mod ? to RTA and my insurance company ? If i didn't report ? :(

You go to an RTA certified engineer to have the car inspected. THey look over the car, write down what the mods are, and that they are compliant with ADR... if they're not, they'll tell you to fix 'em and come back...

With the certificate, you get a 2nd copy. one must go to the RTA... make a copy of the other and keep it in your car at all times, and keep the other safely locked away just in case...

If you dont report the mods, policy is void basically.... how leneint they are; i dont know...

well all my mods are quoted on the policy, and just car has agreed to cover them. i would have thought passing rego qualifies a car as roadworthy.

is the rta likely to pass a fmic? plenum? and what does it cost?

Last time i got a quote, the only thing they were concerned about was the engine swap and if i had an engineers cert. to cover the swap....

I've been to places to get a blue slip; they look at the front mount "engineered?" "no" "i can't give you a blue slip".... Any cop will tell you that anything non-standard that is not engineered is defectable. Is why they always look for shiny things :blink:

I'd avoid Just Car Insurance if possible, as they do not allow your own choice of repairer, and force you to use an AAMI network repairer (which are all shit and do dodgy work).

I'm insured with Lumley Special Vehicles, who have been excellent.

Lat year I had a major accident with 20K damage (not my fault), they were very efficient with the claim and allowed me to take it to my regular panel beater.

I know it varies from person to person but I've found them to be quite cheap.

I pay $1,227 per year for full comprehensive cover on an R34.

Also they allow mods as long as you inform them before hand.

Who are Lumley underwritten by?

Just cars actually say

"in an accident you can get two quotes, one from your repairer, one from our choice"

and which ever is cheaper for them they go with.

Lumley Special Vehicles are underwritten by Lumley (who are a huge company).

Yes Just Cars do allow 2 quotes, one of your choice and one of theirs.

However no decent Panel Beater will be cheaper than theirs. (AAMI repairers are rock bottom)

I had my car repaired by a Mercedes specialist (who did an absolute top notch job), which would never happen with Just Car.

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Duncan · Posted

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
