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.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
