I've done a quick search and couldn't come up with anything specific..

I'm looking at importing a Stagea in the next couple of months. I've never owned an import before but have a clean driving record, been driving for 4 years.

I currently own an R31 wagon and wanna upgrade. :thanks:

Just wondering what insurance companies you guys with Stageas are with, and how much it costs?

I've done a couple of online quotes but most of them don't have Stagea listed in their vehicle list, so I'm waiting for an email back.

Sorry if a thread like this has been done before.

Thanks in advance. :)

Does Boosted work for Shannons?

Sorry to hijack the thread but i'm about to hit the big two-five, so i thought i'd start shopping for some cheaper insurance (JCI $1800p.a. full comp hurts my wallet)

I've hit up Vigil, who are now part of LSV, for a quote too. a mate recently got a quote for $1000 premium, $500 excess from them.

Mine is through Famous - ex Vigil, but Custom Car Insurance, Shannons, JCI do ok quotes.

8OO5TED did and should still be working for shannons.

he was very very helpful with quotes for the stagea and the R33 and i was already a customer.

I've been with JCI for 1 year now, I just turned 24 and got my renewal notice in the mail for $888 12 months full comp.

What do you do to get a premium like that? Neither myself or my friend (who owns an imported MR2 GT-T) can get below $1800 a year with JCI.

Do you have any traffic fines like speeding or neg driving? i think that's what's hurting me, i was a bit of a rebel when i started driving.

I'm in SA.

I got an online quote from Just Car for $1440 per year full comp. Is that good? Famous sent me an email back but said I didn't supply enough information for an online quote and would call me soon.

Thanks for all the tips guys, makes wanting to get a new car even more tempting :/

I have just gone to Shannons for my S2 Stagea $549.00 for $20,000.

I am with shannons as well, with 3 cars and house and contents on 65% no claim 35 yr old multi poicy discounts

My S2 with large list of mods is covered $25000 yearly policy $1208

So I rang them to see if they could do better, I changed it to being driven 1-2 days week, instead of daily use, new policy price $992 yr

I could reduce it more as the car only gets driven once a month.

Coparts41, is yours for daily use?

JCI: insured for $19K on car and all mods (damn pirates!) and $3.5k on wheels, all engine/drivetrain mods legal and declared,

costs $890 p/a. This is the 3rd year I've used them, and I am 65% ncb & 30y.o.

EDIT: car is daily driven

I have just gone to Shannons for my S2 Stagea $549.00 for $20,000.

It all comes to where you live. Age is not my issue, no garage and apparantly West Ryde is not a cheap suburb to have insurance!

JCI $1600PA for NM35ARX @$30k as a daily drive.

I think Shannons can do you a better deal.

I wish, because I do not have a garage and a daily drive will not insure me. JCI were the only company despite age of 42, no points and only 2 speeding fines in 20 years of driving.

If I lived on the northern beaches insurance would be at least $500 cheaper. aaaaarrrrrgggghhh :P

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
