+ 1 for just cars

i think shannons are assholes i rang them up and apparently they dont insure my type of vechial beacuse its an import. there add is bull sh@t i am a car inthusiast but apparently u have to love falcodores to be an aussie inthusiast.

anyway rating 5 1800

rating

something funny i found was that suncorp would not insure my V35 skyline because I am 24 and not 25. Even though its not a turbo... bunch of tards

I found that Just cars was best for my 180sx but I only did 3rd party cus full comp was stupid, For the V35 I found NRMA to be the best

well i think its cause i had lost my liscense on my l's when i had my motorbike. just cars said it will drop heaps this year when i insure it again with them, i wasn't pissed of with the price i just payed it, the 180 was worked and had top stuff in it. just ring around places mate but i will go with just cars they are honest and will look after you...

Did you max the excess out?

I was quoted something like $2250 with an excess of $500. I upped the excess to $3000 and my premium dropped to like $1000.

yeah im getting my R34 4 door N/A skyline in april this year im 25 [ 26 in july ] there are no mods to it, im still on red P's though but going for greens very shortly [ ive been super lazy, and having kids just taking up money/ time ] ive had my reds for a few years, long enough to have had my greens and be off them, but i dont know who to insure with, i have a clean driving record and the insurance thread i read before pretty much told me each person/car is different so insurance will be different for each person,

Would my P plates matter too much if it goes by years driving? And is anyone here from NSW with a 4 door R34, that had it fully insured, how much were u roughly looking at?

thanks for any help.

Your best bet is to call around then compare the prices and excesses as I did.

Having your p's counts as holding a licence so its included as years driving. L's doesnt as its a permit.

No harm in getting a few quotes!

Too true, out of curiosity what did u end up paying?

Im paying $1,100 at H2P. I am now covered for $23,000

Prior to that I was with Just Car paying the around $1,200 and only being covered for $14,000. When I got my renewal form they dropped the price by $100 but I have noticed they also had lessend the value to $13,000 without consulting me.

I have fully looked at both and in my situation I am waaaay better off with H2P. Excesses are about the same, H2P a little less and I can pay by the month without any extra charge which is very useful.

I guess everyones situation is different but for me, H2P was a clear winner.

(I just turned 22 and have had 2 speeding fines but no pervious claims)

I'm with Famous insurance for my R34 GTT. Got a quote from Just Car of $3500! Get ****ed! That was with their bs excesses too. Anyways I only pay $2500 with famous and with a lot more reasonable excesses. Works out to be around only $1000 for the excesses with them whereas Just Car was $2500+.

That's also with my record which isn't the cleanest. I'm also 22. Helps if you have in insurance broker too.

I went JUSTCAR found them to be the cheapest and most competative.

i 19 clean driving record non turbo R33 S2 and for full comp car valued at 13350 with rims system body kit and all basic extra's i payed $2300 on a RATEING 5 which saved me about $600 and i also choosed they pay more to get less premium which saves me 500 on my premium for only $200 or sumthing like that. but i called shannons and they said that they wouldnt insure me and that if they did my excess would be like $5000 and thats the same with RACV which was $5000 excess and valued at $4500 for the car which is way less then what its worth. so yeh my 2 cents is JUSTCAR all the way

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
