They're in NSW .. I remember looking at them a while back, but didn't seem to offer what anybody else offered or any cheaper pricing.

If you're in melbourne and above 25, I'd either recommend www.uniquecar.com.au (who i'm with).. or shannons http://www.shannons.com.au/.

Justcars keeps going up and up and they're a ripoff so i'd stay clear of them unless you have to.

Otherwise famous www.famousinsurance.com.au

I tried Famous but unfortunately I had a huge payoff awhile so they refused to touch me (which I think is rather illogical).

Youngandcool have a terrible excess though although they told me if I did a defensive training they'll reduce it by a thousand. Which btw, the normal excess is 2K. But they're ok with mods etc.

Shannons didn't want to insure my car or any imports (strangely), and told me they only wanted to do marque cars.

Justcars...as usual gave me a ridiculous price. I'm 29 btw, and on rating 3 as I haven't driven here for long.

it sux really..insurance is almost becoming impossible on imports these days, and it seems to have got even worse over the last year.

I'm late 20's and never had an at-fault claim and yet many insurers still wouldn't touch me or offer me stupid prices. A couple of people here are on Shannons, so I am not sure what that is about

I don't know who is having accidents out there and making claims?? but its ****ed up, and ****ing it all up for the rest of us :)

Just called Unique Car. They didn't want to touch me either because of a huge payoff. I can't see why these companies won't insure me because I had a huge payoff? Is it because they're afraid they don't have the money to do it. Currently only two companies are doing that - Famous, Unique.

You can bet they make a huge ass profit out of this.

Just spoke to Just Car again. They told me because the 33s are getting common, insurance premiums for skylines are going down. Well that's good news for you guys.

Young and Cool .. well i used to be with them til about a week ago ... i made a claim at fault about a year ago and that went all fine ... can't really complain about that one except their excesses are ridiculous ... but i won out on that one so i can't really complain .. anyways ... i then had to make another claim about 2 months ago which wasn't my fault .. and damage was about 2k ... and u woudln't beleive ... they transderred my insurance to daws underwriting which i guess were under writing them at the time i joined up with them ... and they ddin't even ****in tell me ... so then i ring dawes up ... to make my claim ... this is what they said ... since my excess was 2.5k ... they wanted me to give that to them even though it wasn't even my fault ... theres not too many people with 2.5k just lying around ... who the **** did they think i was?? anyways ... they said they would give me the money back when the other guys insurance paid out ... to me thats just ****ed up ... i mean .. why the **** would u pay someone over 2k a year for that type of service?? ... so now they put my premium up to over 3k .. thats dawes underwriting... they can go **** themselves .. i'd rather go without insurance ... the last time i spoke to young and cool they said they were their own company and deal with all insurance by themselves so u wouldn't have to go through with this shit ... my word of advice is ... if u dont' get a really really good deal with y and c ... go with someone else ..

when i bought my car in japan in march i got a quote from just cars at 6300 and famous for 2200. when i finally registered it about 4 months later, just cars had dropped to 3700 and famous was around 3. i also spoke to shannons and they told me that cause my dad has two cars with them they would cover me for 3rd party for a year then if i had a clean record would go full comp. but it would have been 4k.

fark the poe lease.... oh yeah and the insurance companies

hey what the cops take off you each year, is *nothing* compared to how much the insurance companies rape you for! Its ridiculous..

RACV I think would insure a stock standard GTS-T but i think that may only be because i was insured with them for so long and was "old ****, rating 1" category.

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
