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.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
