Insurance For 17 Yr Old W R32 Gts-t


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I am in the middle of buying an R32, and should hopefully be getting it next week. Unfortunately, i am not quite sure which insurance provider to go with.

SGIC quoted me online for $1639.29 (I am Listed as 2nd driver, with parent)

Just Car online: $1529 (I am Listed as 2nd driver, with parent)

Is there any other insurance provider to go with, or am i only limited to those 2?

Could you please give me feedback on Just Cars, SGIC or any other insurance provider you have dealt with.

Thanking you,

Jα©òβ

I'm with just cars, I've made a couple of claims over the years and they've been great to deal with.

Those prices sound good given your non existent driving history.

I'll say! Suprised anyone other than Just Car will even insure you.

I got my R32 when I was 18 and I'm with Shannons but the only reason they insured me was because I'd been insured for a turbo car before the 32..

Just for future reference, we already have an insurance discussion thread that can be found in the important topics section of the South Australia forum.

yeah at your age im surprised SGIC are even touching you it must be because your parents car and house is insured with them that there happy to insure an import

until you get to about 25 you will either have to stick with SGIC or Just Cars

ok a little googling of a company that used to be called Young and Cool Insurance have amalgamated with Famous Insurance not sure how you will go with them but @ least its a 3rd option

you will find that Just Cars insures the person with the youngest age......so your premiums might be low but your excess will be around the $25xx mark.....just be careful really

One word, 'Wesfarmers'

First car I got had a a few mods, turbo, manual and I was the soul user. 3rd party + fire and theft agreed value of about $8,000 was about $480. Full comp was still less than $1,000.

Im still with them, I have made a small claim. Somebody backed into me with no insurance, it was covered by them. Ive never had to make a big claim.

im surprised you can be listed as a 2nd driver, i was 20 when i got mine and they didnt let me. but im with just cars, no claims so far but it good too know they are backed by aami.

as for famous or coolandyoung. i know when they were called famous they didnt meet the australian insurance standard, not sure what its called, but basically if they didnt want to pay you out or cover you, you hav no to to complian to, ie consumer affairs.

that sounds a bit wrong

they are still called Famous and we have a few members here insured by them, i used to be insured by them also

also, This product is underwritten by Calliden Insurance Limited ACN 004 125 268

Goodluck with Shannons.

Their motoring 'enthusiast' terms are a little foggy. Would'nt touch me, i have been driving for 3 years with no problems whatsoever. Currently with Just Car.

Famous Insurance..can't hurt to give them a bell.

    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
