There's no much such thing as inheriting their rating 1, you need to start at the bottom and work your way up like everyone else.

Ah ok, someone said if its in their name and I'm the youngest driver i get it after 6 months... :S or sommin like that

if the car is registered in your parents name, you can be nominated as a secondary driver, and save on the premium. im pretty sure this wont work towards a no-claim bonus of any description, since its insured in the parents name, not yours.

just car 3rd party + fire + theft for me was $750, easy. 20yo male, r33 turbo.

Cheapest way for me was go insure the skyline (for my agreed value of 22.5k) with Shannons on an occasional use policy for $720 22yo male, no claims or thefts, and drive an LPG shitbox day to day. Insurance costs save me heaps and fuel saves me even more. But the best thing is that my car feel fast (at least for the first 15 mins) each time i drive it!

Plus i dont worry about the skyline getting, hit, vandalised, scraped in a carpark etc.

What?

I believe that Hamish meant, don't lie in your applications for insurance. If you get caught it can really come back to haunt you later.

I have heard people have issues where they have been driving as the nominated driver on someone else's insurance with no personal insurance history of their own. When they tried to get their own policy, they started from scratch. Can anyone confirm this?

There ARE plenty of insurance threads on these boards so have a look around. Being rating 1 and 25+ helps a lot. I can't wait to see if I get a new discount at 30, to go along with the first "life crisis".

Cheers.

What are the options for under 25?

Shannons said they wont insure anything twin turbo. So apparently if I go get a single turbo manifold and chuck a T51 on there its fine, but a couple of R34 N1's is out of the question...

Famous were just plain rude.

Just car will give me 1597 a year on a aggreed value of 23.5. Not too bad all things considered, but id like to at least see if I can get a competitive quote.

  • 1 year later...

your best bet will be shannons they are a little bit more expensive but you get choice of repairer one free windscreen a year (ask bout it when you sign up) and the excess is usually low.... or im using just car they are kinda fair as far as im concerned...

the only other thing you have to watch out for is dont lower your premium by uping your excess it might sound like a good idea at the time but the one off chance you have an accident you dont wana have to find anywhere up to 5g's before you can get your car back...

Also recommend Shannons if they'll insure you. Their policy is good and in my experience they're often the cheapest too.

When I first got a full comprehensive policy I went through the NRMA. They gave me a maximum no-claim bonus because I'd had 3rd party property insurance through them for a few years on my previous car.

So if you have an existing policy of some kind, see if you can negotiate something with the same insurance company.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
