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?

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
