Hey,

In General section there have been many threads on this issue.

Please use search function next time :D

btw - everyone is different. what you pay, what the next person pays is different. No one will pay the same so there really is no point asking what others pay.

Age, driving experience, claims history, fines/loss of licences, garaging location, usage, no claims bonus, EVERYTHING is different :D

edit - just saw your in Bankstown....there is half your answer!

What's your driving history like? I must admit, normally, if it is modified, and you're under 25, it's your only choice...

and you should have done insurance already man, I know you have the car, I don't want to see it being another one of those "My car got stolen" threads :D

Also, listen to Mr Weevil, I see him reading, he knows his insurance :D

Hey guys.

Just did a quote on JUSTCAR and got $4711 for comprehensive!!

For gods sake what the hell !!

How much does your's cost and where from!

How old are you? any accident history?

I'm 21, no accidents (except when I hit a 'roo, which they don't count as my fault) and with Shannons. They were about $1100 for full comp, with a $900 excess... that's on my stockish R33 in Melbourne, covered for $12,000. Just Cars were gonna about $1500/year... When I got the 'line I had just turned 19 and it was around $1900/yr, with a $1800 excess... but at the time I figured Shannons wouldn't touch me (age) and didn't even try. This year when my insurance came around a mate recommended me to give them a go, and they were fantastic!

When i moved up to Sydney from Melbourne (3 years ago), i was shocked at the insurance costs up here. I had a 2003 Integra Type R.

Insurance in melbourne was $500. When i moved to sydney (wiley park, which is even worse than bankstown) >$4000. When they gave me the quote, I nearly had a heart attack.

So i told them thanks but no thanks, got married, sold the car and had kids. hahaha.

edit: now for some actually helpful info, i was quoted about $2200 for comp insur through just car, and slightly higher for shannons (shannons wants a longer driving history - 4 years as opposed to just cars 3 years)). If you've got suspensions in your history, expect to get charged a big premium

Best insurance company is famous for imports.

LOL, You could take that a few ways, and i did :D Here's a tip

The company is not called 'Best Insurance', famous for its import insurance

It wasn't a statement that the best insurance company is famously known for imports.

The company is CALLED 'famous'.

I'm not slow, ok?

currently with Just cars 3rd party fire and theft only. $600 something

changing to Shannon's in November $1376 a year for $12000. excess wasn't much.

with Shannon's i was told the car needs to be in a lock up garage when at home address

and because my bad driving history was more then 5yrs ago im all sweet.So nothing

to worry about or no extra charges.

Oh yeh and thats on a partially driven car rate.

i was told to add 6-700 ontop if it was a daily driver.

im 25 on full license and located at Doonside.

Goodluck with it,atleast get 3rd party.

+ a Thumbs up to the dude at Shannon's. :D

i'm sorry mate but this whole excercise is pointless. even if everyone post up how much they pay it doesn't help you one bit, unless you live in the same house as them, are the same sex, the same age, put your car in the same garage, drive the same number of kms, have the same model of car, with the same modifications, the same alarm and have the exact same driving history. unless you can say yes to all those things then your quote will most likely be different.

just shop around, call as many companies as you can. and be honest about your driving history and your circumstances.

Im just going to add dont use famous.. Go GIO car insurance you can use the car however you wish as long as your not under the influence or doing anything illegal and your covered.

Most other policies only cover you 1 day a week, only parked in particular areas, no street parking etc. Read the whole policy before you take it out and as for a faxed copy of the transcript when you take out the policy and ask heaps of questons.

thats it :D

eg: you say to your insurance company you drive 1 days a week, garaged at a certain location etc etc, you sleep over your girlfriends house and have no choice but to park on the street, car gets stolen and you go to make a claim, your insurance company wont pay you out :thumbsup:

? what do you mean? Most companies dont cover you for daily use? Didnt I just say that? Thats why I suggested GIO.

Sorry, I was too lazy to make a proper reply. Most insurance companies will tell you they won't insure you overnight unless you are 500m or more away from the garage location. They won't cover you if you don't have a proper alarm etc.. and they definatly won't cover you if you are under the influence of alcohol and drugs or breaking any laws. It covers there arse.

I have been quoted through GIO but they wouldn't cover me for more then 9k but there policy was the cheapest ($1200) or something like that. Famous have done the best deal besides Shannons and I can't change to Shannons at the moment as we have a communal garage.. and they know my every move *hides*

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
