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.

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

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
