I just wanted to find out if there are many people here insured under a parents name and have any of you made a claim before?

Ive been told that if there is an accident and you were driving the insurance company usually investigates how often you drive the car and can void your insurance? Ive heard that a lot of peoples insurance have been voided this way?

eg. they can claim that you drive more then the 5% stated on the insurance form

thanx

The problem begins if the car is insured under your parents name but registered under yours.

The name of which the car is registered under also has to be insured under.

I was caught out a while back as my parents bought me a car they insured it. Transfered the rego in to my name then later on only to find out that they had been paying insurance but not being covered due to not being insured under the same name as it was registered.

Really.. How will they know honestly if you drive it more than 5%.

Depends on your rating.

Also remember that if you transfer the rego in to your parents name they will have to pay a stamp duty as if they were purchasing the car which could be a few if not more hundred dollars.

I'm a rating 1 aged 23, full comp I pay $1060 per year.

Rating 2 I was paying close to $1500 with another insurance company.

How much would a 24 old on a rating 6 pay for a stock r33 skyline with no prior accidents, 3 speeding tickets all under 15kms, and having a licence since 18?

I'm taking price for both full comp and 3rd party fire and theft? What if I want to mod aswell? I'm still at uni so money is tight for me.

Most companys wont insure you at all if you are under 25, and living in NSW for me it was impossible to get 3rd party fire and theft. The best quote i got was $3500 but i got it down to 3 grand. i have my car insured for $30,000 though and NRMA was quiting me over $3000 for an old VN commodore.

Go to www.justcarinsurance.com.au and do an online quote. You will know in about 24 hours how much it might cost. As you have no insurance history (rating 6) im guessing alot, prob $3000 or more. Asuming ur getting a turbo.

33spec2,

Don't baulk at the price of insurance, you wanted the car... Pay it yourself, it goes towards your rating yourself....

yeah i know but there is so many other things id much rather spend my money on then being ripped off by an insurance company

yeah the reason i took out my own insurance in the first place was so i could get a rating but but id rather have no rating and b under parents name cause by the time i do insure it myself i figure ill have lots more money to pay it not like now where i am studying

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
