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.

    • Did this end up working? Did you take some pictures?
    • And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!
    • And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.
    • Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).
    • You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before
