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!

MRXTCZ

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*

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi
