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 have never had a speeding fine or any other kind of traffic violation fine other than a parking ticket. I had one small fender bender minor acco which apparently made zero difference to the premium. I don't drive 5k's under the limit or anything but I also don't speed excessively.

I guess I've just been lucky.

When I first got the insurance with JCI I was 23 and it was just over 1k pa. Compared to skylines/soarers which were ~1500 its pretty cheap, it was one small reason I chose a Stagea over other imports.

Edited by rubba

It must be location. when I got my R33 in 2003, i couldn't get full comp for less than $4000 with JCI. it's slowly come down since then, but it's still $1800 for me now in my Stagea. I think speeding fines just determine whether or not a company wants to insure you rather than how much your premium will be. All will be revealed on the 25th when I turn 25 and can start enjoying some cheaper insurance premius.

Isurance? Shannons.

M35 250t RS Four V

Stock (but factory LOADED)

$25,000

Age: 30

Driving Record: 2 Speeding Fines (last 5 years)

Cost: $63 per month for fully Comp.

Is that insured as a daily drive or only weekend use?

Do you have a garage to park you car in?

These are the things that made my insurance expensive!

GIO Custom Car Insurance x2

$87 a month on $15k modd'ed series 1. Plus I live in a dodgy area on central coast, NSW !! Daily driver, not needed to be garaged or guarded by attack dogs etc :banana:

my greenslip with NRMA was only $480

Can I ask again for GIO Custom Car Insurance's contact number?

2nd that for GIO custom Insurance ph number. Web page does not load and not listed in the white pages. Is this a real company? rates seem too good to be true!!!

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?

yep the good wife drives it most days, i have a company car so i can only have it to play.

Terminal is your car listed as secure garaged?

Mine is so that will perhaps reduce the premium.

Yeah, its secure garaged. it has a list of mods as long as a kevin rudds 'sorry' speech though, so that might be one reason.

On the topic of insurance, who's got what quote for a greenslip? i'm hunting around to see who does the cheaper greeny and AAMI is leading the charge so far at $508. i'm yet to try Allianz though.

Ian, try hitting greenslips.com.au to get a comparison. That should give you a few options and display them all together so you can compare.

try www.gio.com.au

It lists stagea's and mods.

I tried to enter my car with sydney postcode, but I had too many mods so the online quote would not give answer without them phoning me.

Can not get GIO in queensland. It flicks you to Suncorp.

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
