Hmm well it may interst you guys, but i have a series 2 in qld outer brisbane suburbs, im 18 and legally not allowed to be driving the car. However justcars have coverd me for $18000 with full comp insurance for $1160 a year;

$1200 excess however

yea im from Mt Gambier South east SA i have a bad driving history SGIC done a Quote 1800 year with a around 2000 claim but justcars done 1200 with a i think it was aoout 1200 claim thats for a S2 stagea 12k with stereo and rims at 3k. bugger all would touch me when i said what kind of car it was.

my latest renewal with justcar came in at about $850 a year with a $400 excess. i could have gotten a lower premium but at a much higher excess. 25 y/o with a licence suspension in the last 5 years and about 15km from Brisbane CBD.

Thanks mate. Worked a treat.

Shannons = 1290 with a 500 excess in southern Sydney. ~20k agreed value.

Over 30 drivers with a minor bingle and a speeding ticket in the last 5 years.

Cheaper than Just Cars.

Just Car wanted ~ $1500

have pretty much sorted through work (corpoorate rates) for ~ $1200

just cars was $1100 for me. and i will get a refund in a few weeks when i hit 25.

and the excess will drop substantially! (i think it was cos i was with AAMI beforehand i got better rate)

only thing just cars wont insure is my carbon fibre hood. :P:( :(

but the full body kit YES. (suckers... my Dolphin kit would be FKN expensive to replace)

i might suss out shannons aswell! since i'll be 25.

Famous did me for $1100, $500 excess Northern Beaches of Sydney at $35k sum insured. . . . That was for M35 AXIS with all the option fitted such at twin sunroofs and Bose stezza

FYI

Im now with SGIC, for around $460 for the year, market value whatever that may be

2000 claim excess tho - but mind you i dont plan on making a claim so for now should be ok

Yeah I'm a big fan of higher excesses for lower premiums, as I have never claimed in over 15 years and reckon its worth the lower premium . . and of course I would only claim if the damage was major or worth more than the excess.

Too many people get hung up about the excess. . it's not like you claim everyday

100% agree. Although it really does come down to how you prefer to manage risk.

In my case, I'm with Just Car - ~$800 a year with $1200 excess. I'm 28 and my wife is 25. I've been with Just Car for around 4 years all up (including 2 other imported, turbo nissans) so my lower premium has saved me more than my excess. I realise I may just be lucky so obviously dont base your decision on my example :P

I'm pretty happy with Just Car's policies. Personally I've found them to be the least restrictive insurer of the whole lot. No questions about where I'm allowed to drive and where I'm allowed to park. Other insurers had a hernia when I mentioned that one day I could potentially park on the street (gasp - oh no, not the street). You gotta wonder what world some of them live in...

Shannons wouldn't insure my car because I didn't park inside fort knox (nah just kidding, you have to have a bricked-in lockable garage and I only had a carport - with a rollerdoor - I probably could've argued the point and got through but I gave up). I was considered to be a "motoring enthusiast" however (yay :( ). From all accounts I've heard they are a quality insurer though, which is a very good reputation to have.

Oh, just got my renewal from LSV. Was very happy with them before ($20k, 786 premium, moderate eccess), got the renewal - $15k value, $1256 premium, $750 excess. Rang them, have a good conversation, basically they are changing directions and not interested much in insuring us anymore.

Oh well, time to shop around.

Well, rang Shannons. Coz my Stag is not my daily drive, I got away with $517. For daily drive it would be just under $700. Excess $500, no claim bonus protection.

I had a policey with them before, my Honda Legend(*sigh*).. was insured with them.

Holy shit.

I just got a price for the stag if I add another driver, a 19 year old female to the insurance.

Went from $1400 or whatever to $3500 or so... She did have one minor bingle early this year - I suspect that drove the price up. The premium drops to $2400 if I have a $1700 excess instead of $600. So assuming I didn't claim in the first year then I'd come out ahead with the $1700 excess. She turns 20 in 3 months though so I thought I might wait till then.

i think all the insurance companies have jacked up there premiums. i also just got my renewal through justcar, up to $1150 a year from $850. i'm 26 and no listed drivers under 25, the only way i can get it back down is buy having a ridiculous excess. the missus got hers though a month ago, up to $700 from $500 for a stock 05 swift. she turned 25 a few months ago so we were expecting a cheeper premium, didn't get one :mad:

out of interest, was yours much of an increase on last years premium?

    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now. 
    • You sir, big win tonight. Precision never supplied compressor maps in the past and Idk when they started, but it seems they only offer for a few of the older gen2's which is exactly what I have. I punched in some numbers and seem to have gone with the wrong turbo. 600-700whp isn't in the most efficient area and is close to the choke line. 800whp is well off the map. Punching the numbers into a 68mm gen2 turbo map is bang on in the center. Here I was thinking going smaller would shift the power band down, but in reality it would just make it so much worst due to my rev limit. I would have never thought. 
    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣
