You want stupid insurance costs...

Conclusion: Their here to make a profit and that's what they do well...

Not to mention we have to have a constantly available reserve stockpile of cash to payout for the event of disasters... has to cover about 1/4 or 1/3 of our customers in total.

Plus insurance companies have to invest as much of what they have so that they can make $$$.

my advice would be go with shannons. they are one of the better insurers and your first year will be $$ but I would guess your premium will quickly improve if you stay with them. plus if you do actually need to claim $7400 excess makes it not worth claiming for any accident under about $10K worth of damage (since you'll have to foot the excess and your premium will subsequently go up too). given that I think shannons is the better bet. more expensive for the first year but after that will improve.

Top lulz, i'm 23 and insuring a 2008 R35 GTR with RACV would cost me (full comp)

Car Comprehensive

Annual Amount $1,573.34

Monthly Instalment $142.20

Proposed start date 19 June 2010

Vehicle 2008 NISSAN GTR IMP COUPE 3.8 Litres

Market Value including modifications

** Excesses

spacer.gifBasic Excess: $2,000

Age Excess: Driver under 25 years $400

So the moral of the story is dont lose your license and you will be a rich man.

Bugger me. . .I am paying $1400 for my Stag in Sydney rating 1 over 35 driver perfect driving history.. . $1573 for a R35 GTR seems great. . God Sydney sucks.

God knows why, but your 100% right about that. Add to that the fact that the that insurance estimate is based on Frankston 3199, the car theft capital of South Eastern Melbourne. I did some math on just insuring my Commodore and its 120% more expensive where I live in Sydney than back in Frankston. Maybe its just the crap quality Sydneys makes the insurance companys think that more accidents would happen there? If anyone is in the insurance game the actual reason would be greatly appreciated.

try suncorp if you havent already Druzilla

my policy is 1900 per annum. 1100 excess. but I am 35, have been a good boy and live in Brisbane.

thanks for the info.. I will try suncorp tomorrow, price looks great.

I have good driving record, Lost my licence once 7 years ago dure to defects (too low+loud etc.)

Im actually driving my gtr on the streets less and less too.. Its just too painfull to go slow! Only drive it about 2 times a week.

thanks for the advise. I was thinking that too.. EG. someone keys my car and damage is 8K.. pointless using insurance if with just car, but with shannons it makes sence.

I will check out suncorp and if thats a no go, I will go with shannons.

cheers,

that's pretty harsh. my R35 was around $1500 per annum and exccess I think was $1000 from memory. sydney, garaged, driver over 25 but under 30. rating 1. it was insured for $160K.

having said that the premium on my R32 GTR insured for $35K was around the same (well couple hundred less). go figure.

"Egocentricity the folly of the young" Put yourself in the insurance companies place, if ti was your business and you had to take the risk would you insure someone with that record? LOL your kidding right 3 times in 5 years of course you won't get insurance with that record, and especially not on a low volume performance import .

just read the whole thread! wow...1st time i've been here in ages and now i remember why i hardly go on, a bloke asks a simple question and all the internet warriors come out with their high and mighty stance, ye sure its not a great look to lose your license 3 times in 5 yrs, but it can happen. Maybe we should give him suggestions about what his options might be instead of burning him on a stake.

FYI: had my R33 since i was 18 in Victoria, im 27 now 200.000+ clicks done on the car all around victoria, never have lost a point or have had any hassles by the cops, but last month got done twice by a mobile speed camera on a Sunday morning on a perfectly straight empty road for being 7 km's over the speed limit. so it does happen.

I love how people assume that 5k on a 180k car isn't much.

Myt brothers car costs 9.5k to insure BUT it is worth 850k.

Work it out.

i would hate to live in that NANNA state. I would be just like you.

just on that also, i work in the insurance industry and it doesn't quiet work like that, while the value of the car is a factor its not the end and be all of everything. Its mainly based on the 1. Car type 2. Risk of the driver 3. Location. 5K on a fully kitted Audi S5 is a bit much, but 5K on a GTR with a fairly young driver (under 35) is actually not too bad, depending on what kind of cover your getting. You will find that there will be a lot more claims being made on a R35 than on a S5, thus this will drive the premiums up. I don't know what kind of car the 850K is, but chances are its prob not a daily driver, where as many pplz will use a GTR as a dialy driver (which is one of its selling points) so thus the risk of the vehicle having a accident is a lot higher, and will drive premiums.

wtf? I haven't seen an on topic post since about the first one. And if I banned everyone that has talked off topic crap and made personal attacks there would be no-one left on SAU.

This thread is absolute rubbish.

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
