Perhaps it was because I wanted full comprehensive but for my R33, series two, with only wheels and small sound system NRMA wanted over $4,500 and didn't ask if my licence had or had not been suspended, which it has. Justcar had all of my details and wanted $2,200.

Next time your insurance is up phone Justcar again, I will eat my shoes if NRMA beats the price of any of my insurance :(

if you drive a hatchback, have maximum no claim bonus, live in a decent suburb and are over 50, then NRMA becomes competitave. Otherwise they are a massive rip off.

i'm also with just cars, had a claim end of last year. They were very very good. i had a lot of probs trying to get parts as my car had all genuine Nismo parts. and as you all know nismo is no longer part of nissan. i wrote a very nasty email to just cars (in which the mail was past on to someone higher up along the chain) and she (from JCI) called nissan to find out whats happening and she got the ball rolling a lot faster. All in all very happy with JCI but not happy with nissan australia.

note: if you are currently with JCI and you have any major probs, let me know and i'll give you the email of the person from JCI that got things done for me.

i finally went with just cars, if only someone made a companny to compete with them famous want way 2 much, just cars is seriously taking advantage of this target group of car enthusists

Smart business strategy actually....

The thing about NRMA is that they don't want your car insurance. They want the whole shebang. If you insure your house with them (if you have one), Green Slip, have membership, etc, and are older, suddenly the picture changes dramatically...

Not good news for younger blokes, I know.

I went with NRMA, they were cheaper than just car. Even the guy on the phone was amazed at how cheap it was.

Paid $574 for 3rd Party + Fire and Theft, where as just car was more with just the 3rd party.

You may want to check they got exactly the right version. Not the non-turbo...

Advice from 8years of import car ownership

Just car - Expensive, not very good customer service but a friend made a claim and they looked after him.

Famous - Read the fine print, I didnt feel the policy was comforting. They also had (2004 era) poor customer service).

Shannons - Brilliant! They have had my gtst for 5-6 years now.

thought I'd bring this thread back and keep info up to date

my experience:

tried GIO but they don't take any new business for custom car insurance, referred me to just cars

LSV don't do modern cars anymore (apparently) I know a few V35 guys who are with lumley :banana:

shannons referred me to Just car as I am under 25 and they don't want to tread on their sister companies toes, the rep told me to give them a ring after I turn 25

already with Just car,

22 west sydney (mt druitt-oh yeah!)

Maximum no claim

$1989 full comp, may get cheaper if I bump up the excess

$35 maximum no claim protection option, bastards, I've been "stuck" with just cars for 5 years and I have to pay to protect my no claim?

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
