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.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".

      What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway

      Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.

      My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
