Just Insured my Series 2 RS FOUR S today for $1500 a year, $1000 excess cause I'm under 25, Agreed value. With JUSTCAR.

Got a quote over the phone from NRMA for over $3000 a year. :P as a result I didn't get it with them :wub:

quoted $1367 today on the Just Cars site. Youngest driver will be 34, didn't say what the insured value was.

Forget Just Cars.

Go with Shannons. Much better for anyone over 30 with an import.

You may want to check what the insured value is and what Just Cars will pay out if it is stolen or written off.

Assuming that you have a cleanish history, you shouldn't be looking at over $900 with Shannons.

Unless you don't have a garage. :)

Then you have no chopice and there goes my exhaust. Might just have to build a garage.

I don't have a garage at the moment. Shannons knows this (my insurance went up ~$100pa)

That said, the block I currently live on is set back with only a 30m driveway to the road.

There goes your exhaust? Why?

Shannons say that In NSW/Sydney you have to have a garage. I will check again today but that is what they said last year.

LSV insurance went up 60% this year to $2600 for an old bastard like me with no loss of licence or infringements. I use the car for business and parked in a driveway. Just Car are better this year, premium has not gone up and excess is now reasonable at $600 compared to $1200 they wanted last year.

The price I am continuing to have to pay to insure this car is taking all my money. ($1800 PA) It is giving me the shits.

at least what I spend on the car is only costing me half what I pay after tax return. ;)

So maybe I have to think about the exhaust only costing me $500 not the 4950 quoted. :)

$4950? I presume you mean $950??

I guess that means that you have to have it done before end of financial year as well, ay?

That's a little bit more than what I was on last year with Justcar when I was under 25, $1300 a year $500 excess. Now I,m 25 it dropped to $800 a year with a $400 excess. Also none of the mods i've done so far have had an effect on my premium.

$850 with just car. They let you lower your premium if you're prepared to increase the excess. Cant remember what the excess is - I think its about $1200 from memory. I've been with just car for many years - not sure if they take that into consideration...

Tried shannons years ago - and was rejected because of the lockable garage thing - I only had a carport which apparently makes a big difference. Made me very nervous about what they would cover....i mean, say i had a garage but always parked the car outside? would I be covered? or say I did use the garage but one night left the car on the street and it was stolen? Now I'm pretty sure they would probably cover these, but I just feel safer with Just Car who in my opinion have less restrictive policies. That said, I've heard better reports about shannons than just car, but I had to go with the next best available option.

Its about trying to find an insurer who can offer a reasonable price but also one that can give you a level of cover you're happy with and that suits your car usage.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
