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.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
