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.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
