Could someone help me, who has found the best deal for a weekend driven R32 GTR and im 24. so far shannons have given me 1400 (with a few basic mods) for i think i should be able to do better than that?

thats not bad dude. i pay more than that for a 200 with minimal mods (... i havent updated a few grand worth of stuff...).

Time to renew my insurance;

Called Justcar to check out what they have to offer. Given a list of my mods (not a lot) they can only do $22k max value. This would cost me $1439 per year premium, an excess of $400 if damaged and a special theft excess of $1400... *ahem*

Called shannons (my current) and listed 4 more mods that I'd put on over the year and removed one that I'd reverted to stock - Agreed value for $25k with a premium of $1454 and an excess of $500 regardless of what happens to the car. Am gonna go to shannons this weekend with the car cleaned and my folder full of invoices and documentation regarding the car in the hope of getting the agreed value to $30k, maybe a tad higher *fingers crossed*

-D

counting down the days til i can access Shannons car insurance.

i dont know how i can but i am with them as well......will be calling them sometime soon and finding out what my new policies are for the renewed insurance :ermm:

i rang around today to find Famous wont insure me anymore some crap about not having a car port :D

so i though ah crap im stuck with just cars so i rang him and was pleasantly surprised

1994 R33 GTS4

Mods:

Turbo engine

coils

strut bars

bigger brakes

braided lines

5 stud conversion

rims

ECU

excess $400 / Premium $831 agreed value $16,000

pretty stoked with that as 3 years ago they were only offering $16,000 and a little over $1000 Premium

i can drop the premium if i raise the excess

excess $1000 / Premium $500 agreed value $16,000

Eventionly and finally remembered to give just cars a call and tell them the mods iv done to the car, pretty much just stage one of modifications but told them in detail. They added another $56 ontop of my payment for telling them what I had done to the car, also agreed value went up $4000 wtf. Renewel will be in the mail at the end of next month. I'll probably up the excess as I don't drive it everyday. It will be interesting to see what the payment will be.

aussie delivered market cars are easier to get hold of parts too. not too sure it would have a whole lot in compared to the theft factor. Don't hear of too many R34's being stolen

The older WRX's were a huge theft target a while back.

Not sure how they would go trying to steal mine. I have to put a code in just to start it! Haha

You would think more people would be crashing WRXs then non turbo skylines though....

Either way I cant complain, I have a newer, faster and more expensive car, and my insurance is less! =Win

and that is why wrx's have user coded ignition systems now. they never had them until every man and his dog started stealing wrx's.

just added a vz commy too my shannons policy that i bought for the mrs to run around in . now have the r33 my falcon wagon and the vz it didnt go up as much as i expected .discount for 3 cars maybe .

In light of my recent and not so recent failures to access a quote from Shannons, i thought, after being inspired by the recent AAMI TV ads, id express my concern in song. To the tune of what about me, Shannon Noll & various other artists:

My insurance was up for renewal when i crash into a sudden holt

My excess was raised,

My agreed value dropped,

Ive had it with my insurer, i wanna bolt.

So i rang up Shannons,

Got knocked to the ground,

So i came on SAU to scream,

What about me?

I am the same

I've had enough I want access

Cant you see

I want Shannons

But they wont let me access

What about me?

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
