sounds pretty fair to me..=)

give em a ring... SGIO quoted me 4300.

Young and Cool didnt bother cause the lady on e phone told me it'll be 4+...

Allianz and suncrop metway didnt want my business so heh...i was pretty positive on HBF i would think...=)

I didnt think HBF insured under 21 for imports? thats what they told me! maybe i should try again

im with famous classic paying $2500 a year :)

BTW im 20 with a clean driving history and this is my first year of insurance under my own name - shoulda left it under my parents!

Gee - I think a lot of you guys are either getting the wrong end of the stick or I"m getting the vey good end.

My insurance for my NA is ~$900/yr through RAC (WA), I'm 27 and includes a $2500 stereo and mags.

I was 25 when I got it, so can't say what happens to the cost when you hit that age mark.

hey all,

my final damage quote came in at 2700 bucks, the asessor came and looked at it yesterday, wrote some stuff down picked the cheaper quote from the 2 i had to get and said he'd fax the permission to start the repairs in the morning, all it took to get to this stage was a ten minute phone call to the insurance agency to get some details of the incident. Im happy with the way things have been handled especially since my regular panel beaters are a recomended repairer and gave me a cheaper quote to make sure i got them.

Overall- Just cars are great!

cheers

John

Yey! ight just got back from HBF for a quote on a 1994 Skyline R33 GTS25 and she quoted me around $1800 a year full comp, but with $200 basic excess, and because i'm turning 21 next week, my age excess is about $600 for being under 27. So about $800 in excess! I think thats a bit cheaper from other places right? Or should i go shop around a bit more.

So any other suggestions i should try?

Thanx:burnout:

hmm...nv had the pleasure to make a claim yet...and hopefully never have to but nevertheless, HBF has the history of being very good with claims apparently, and the only one that quoted me under 3k....

:)

gave me NCB too even tho im only 18...:)

Yeah best try and keep that, its saves a lot of money. Best thing is, by the time you are 24, you'll have an almost 60% NCB, unlike anyone whose had insurance under their parents names

But yeah like you say, hope you dont ever have to make a claim

    • @Butters I can't tell you why but the bigger HKS step 2 cams improved low and mid end immensely. Turbos started spooling about 1k RPM less than before and the idle/vacuum was rock solid, it was an absolute thrill to drive, 3rd gear pulls hit 180kmh where previously only managed 160. Conversely, the milder poncoms in there now have a funky idle making it harder to get off the line, drives poorly in lower revs, laggy and makes less power/torque throughout. Feels better after I swapped the EBC but unless I put it on the Dyno again, I can't say how much better.
    • Hi Sydney kid   do you still selling spring and blistein shocks for Nissan 260rs? Air any suspension upgrades? Please advice     yudy
    • Cams are not needed at this power level, they will create lag. The cam gears are a good idea though.
    • @Murray_Calavera yeah, I guessed as much, cooler temps, more boost, less knock, more timing, hello power. Unfortunately not quite within reach ATM, could upgrade my whole fuel system to support but still wouldn't have E85 to run it 😂  Anyway, I changed cams again, 260/260 poncam B and everything else the same except an EBC upgrade. Now I must say I was quite disappointed with the result as it was like running stock cams (didn't try to dial them in as they're supposed to be optimum already) but after awhile I suspected my new EBC was underperforming not to mention difficult to use. I recently swapped back my old EBC and it drives much better now, boost comes on sooner, more stable, no spikes etc, feels all quicker and faster than with stock cams. Planning to fiddle with the cam gears and see what happens but maybe skip the Dyno as I intend to revert to the HKS cams cos they really made the car come alive; low and mid end was unbelievable and it just wanted to rev to the moon, finally knew what people were raving about, RB26 really loves revs. Anyway, Dyno 03 is quite disappointing, in Dyno 02 although peak power was less and trailed off at the top, the low and mid end improvement more than made up for it.
    • @Darrel It's so tempting to say e85 is borderline magic. It cools the intake charge, so if you're flirting with the edge of the turbos compressor map it helps dramatically cool down the hot air the turbos are pumping. It is very resistant to detonation so you can crank the timing, I don't really want to say you won't be knock limited anymore.... but you probably wont be knock limited anymore lol. I wouldn't be surprised if you made 20% more power swapping to e85 (provided you have the fuel system to support them, bigger injectors maybe bigger pump etc).
