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

GTR seats

rims

dvd player

alarm/ immobiliser

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?

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
