Hi All,

Im just after some feedback for N/A vs T for insurance. Do the prices really vary that much? I think the main cost is cos its an imported car. I think the turbo vs non turbo only equates for about 10% of the insurance cost. Does this seem resonable?

What is your expierence with insurance quotes?

With the following mods: extractors, exhaust modifications, air filter modifications, stereo, wheels, 3pt immobiliser and alarm, tinted windows I have received the following quotes

Rating 6, Just cars: $4700 full comp

Rating 5, Just cars: $2500 full comp

amazing how much difference one rating makes -- sorry i can't compmare this to turbo insurace though.

do you know how much they want for a GTST with same conditions/age etc..?

I am 25 rating 1, Just cars for a 96 GTS-T with bodykit, mags and exhaust with Viper alarm is 1,200, compared to Suncorp which is $983, however, that means that my girlfriend, 22, cannot be covered...under 25 insurance SUCKS on anything decent...

ok well, my first year, day i got my licence got my car insured for 3300 a year non turbo, they tol me 50 bucks extra a year for a turbo. Im now just turned 18 and my insurance has gone down to 2276 as a rating 4 and again 50 dollars extra if i turbo it. Go the turbo if insurance is ur only concern.

Edit: just thought id mention i also have a shitload of listed mods just for eg, big stereo, guages 17" chromies, full kit, cf bonnet, after market steering wheel etc etc...

as a rule, insurance premiums vary depending on the suburb you live in, your driving record, your insurance rating, how old you are, if you're male, if the car is auto or manual, how many cylenders and doors it has, and whether its turbo or not.

some of these are obvious, some aren't. a turbo premium is more because of the higher power output and the desirability for thieves.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
