Wow, you're an idiot.

3 times in 5 years is a horrible driving record. I live in Melbourne and admittedly, three years ago I lost all of my points. I chose the golden demerit point option and have been way more careful since.

Cancel your deposit. I don't think you deserve a GTR.

If you are the blonde chick ill forgive your tardiness and poor attitude and proceed to smash the back out of you.

But I dont think you are, therefore you have no use to me, this thread is awesome though, will read again.

dude, thats tops, have not heard that phrase for years, as my brother used to say after he picked up on the weekend:

"Yeah, i knocked the back end out of her" or "I demolished her" HAHAHAHAHAH

Appreciate all the feedback but this thread is deteriorating.

My my how people act when not face to face with someone. 

Thanks again for your responses.

Ill visit again when its safe :P

face it, you're a dick. you lost you licence, so assuming that you are on your opens then that means you got done mulitple times doing stupid things. you obviously have a terrible driving history so the insurance quote is reasonable.

also the premium is $5000 on a $180,000 car. that is less than 3% of the vehicle cost. hell that's about the cost of a set of tyres for it. to put it into perspective, there are young guys on here paying $2000 to insure a r33 or r34, and that is a car worth at most about $20,000, so they are paying 10% of the value of the car and you are whinging about paying less than 3%. stop being such a cry baby and just pay it.

oh and anything i've said here i'll say it to you over the net or to your face. lame threats don't scare me, because i know that if i say it to your face and you react like a childish bully and punch me then i'll just sue your arse off and make sure you end up in jail becoming someone's bitch. a small amount of pain in exhange for knowing that you'd be getting reamed would be more than worth it.

lulz good read chaps would read again!

to the OP: you're either a lame troll, can't actually AFFORD the car, and to add to that your driving is obviously shocking. You're getting panned by everyone for good reason. Who in their right mind loses their licence THREE times in FIVE years and expects to get a decent insurance quote!?!? on a R35 no less!

I commend you, S15-guy, for taking this sort of abuse. No one here knows you and they just assumed the worst. You took it pretty well on the chin and didn't resort to childish crap like so many others do.

Nobody here is a saint, and just for future referance, Shannons has a rule that if you have lost your license 3 times in 5 years then they won't insure you. End of story. I'm sure lots of other places have the same rule.

Thanks Steve, I havent even read the abuse concerning me (just quickly scrolled down and ignored it all). Some people lack even an ounce of intelligence or sophistication and its best to ignore such monkeys. Hyenas love to bark and howl at the lions...the lions dont seem bothered. 

QBE insurance (linked with nissan) have given the insurance to me on $2,760 a year with $1,200 excess. They pulled strings because it was linked to the sale of the car.

Also got another quote from medlink insurance (they insure doctors) but not as good as QBE. Yes people...some doctors have been caught speeding.

Thanks to all who gave constructive advise.

Lions are afraid of hyenas & usually give up their meals so as not to be attacked. Just saying.

Doctors have been caught speeding?

Fark me, I thought coke was their thing.

My oh my how the times have changed, I remember when I was just a whipper snapper, and i wore an onion on my belt........

3 times in 5 years, your so evil, Waaaaaaa. I shat my pants when the bus cuts me off Waaaaaaa.

Come chat when you get out of long bay, and say Hi to old mate for me.

3 times in 5 years... PPFffff....

On a serious note, if you want to own 180k car and have it insured, buy it with clean money. By the time you save up that sort of cash with hard work, you wont have had the time to break the speed limit and youll be 60 like the rest of the guys on here that own one. Then you can A: get insurance from Shannons and B: take it up the bum paying 5kpa and smile about it.

Alternatively, drive something you can afford IE an S15, lose your license a few more times and be happy.

I really am only paying you out about the clean money business, I dont know you from a bar of soap, yet 5kpa insurance is a pitance on a 180k vehicle.

Straight away that brings to mind the question of what happens in the second year, will they jack it up to the 5k mark?

I'd be making sure it's not a 12 month deal. Look at NRMA's 2 year fixed price promo for example. You may be happy with the price this year but then when it's doubled next year they've got you in a position you don't want to be in, even worse if it's on finance because it has to stay insured.

Good luck with it.

Edit: Vic police are shockers, I was down there in 2002 with a mate for a weekend and we copped a defect for the weight rating on each tyre. Pricks. The tyres were rated for 2.1 tonne instead of 2.5 tonne and the car weighed 1.4 tonne so where's the danger...

    • 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
