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.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • 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).
