yeah chad, i already have the multi vehicle discount (ends up being 3 cars including the trailer :)). Helps for another 10% with the cams licence. They reckon the value of my skyline could easily triple once its done

This has been my only "attempt" at a claim with Just Car. Had a guy back into me, got his number and rego (and yes, i know i should have got more from him). Filed a police report, gave JC the necessary time to obtain the report. When they ran the rego, it had no named driver, yeah, figure that one out? I was under the assumption that all registered cars have a named owner. I gave them his number, a number i had been dialling constantly for days without success, they apparently spoke to him, and he denied all knowledge of this taking place. They then said there is nothing they can do, and offered to fix my front bar, all id have to do is pay my $2500 excess. Yeah right.

do you have your rating 1 protected (if your a rating 1)? as you would no only have to pay the excess but your premiums would go from 65% - 45% NCB rating

cars don't have registered drivers just registered owners, no proof as to who was driving the vehicle

Give Shannons a call mate. You can get cover called "laid up" i think they call it, which is cover for cars that are not being driven.

just got off the phone to insurance companys:

Shannons: wont cover my car because its not registerd, and i have no licence and im 19 and they dont like insuring younger people ive heard. they also asked if i was part of any car clubs, had my cams licence or was part of any car show places such as autosalon, this might help people who have all of that lol.

Just Cars: wont cover my car on the track because it is too risky they said, and the car is not registered so my insurance atm dosent even cover me which sucks

has any1 else got any ideas about insurance? my car only gets driven onto the trailer, then on back of trailer to mallala. i pay 600 a year for insurance as it is and on top of that rego for a car thats not even on roads. cheers guys

i think ya might hav had some chance if ya had a cams licence and were part of a cams affiliated club. other than that you've not got a lot of options aside from the current situation you're in

yeah might just have to re-register it and then insure it, might put it in a full licence drivers name whos over 25 too keep insurance down concidering i dont drive it, they will be

Have been with LSV for 5 years now, they were called something else b/4, have had no traffic infringments in that time, am over 40 y/o and no claims. Last year my premium was $705.43/ $750 excess/ $18,000 cover. This year my premium will be $847.00/ $1000 excess / $16,000 cover. I reckon that sucks considering I've been the model customer from their point of view, yet I'm being penalised. $847.00 might not be so bad compared with some premiums quoted on this thread, but considering my history, age etc, I would have thought a CPI increase rather than a 20% hike would have been adequate. Will try Shannons for a quote just to see how they rate in comparison.

That sounds like your paying way too much....specially with a record like that....please do let us know what shannons quote you mate

Got round to putting insurance on my car today. Going through Shannons, spoke to them at the Old School N' New Age Car Show.

Age:22-23

Driving/Claim History: Clean

Car: 1997 R33 GTST

Mods: FMIC

The car is insured for $16,000, and i am paying $119 per month for Full Comp.

What type of mods can i put on my policy? Turbo, ECU, Injectors, etc etc? Cos i am going to be putting some on shortly.

You should contact shannons about that particular issue Abe

its my understanding that you should never keep your insurer in the dark about modifications.

That is also very true damien.....as if they dont know and your in a crash then they cannot pay up for your brand new turbo....

I rang Shannon's again today to add some mods to my car that i hadn't listed, my 17" rims, bilstein shocks and GTR seats...it raised my premium another $70. So i shall be paying about $1490, and apparently with turbo, ecu, and injectors, it will take it to about $1550. I am beginning to wonder if it is worth it.

Ask yourself that if your car gets stolen and/or written off.

It'll be a heartfelt yes on that occasion

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
