I won't piss muck about explaining everything.

Took out a policy with Just Cars last year.

-Full Comp.

-Rating 4

-Over 25.

-Flawless Driving history

-$400 Excess.

-$3870.00

Was always gonna be a big premium coz it was my first car and first insurance in my name. But i wasn't gonna get anything other than THAT exact Skyline so i was fully prepared to take the hit.

Just got the renewal form in mail.

Same policy, same rating, same everything.

EXCEPT FOR THE PRICE.

ONLY$1500!!!!!!

NOW ITS TIME TO

:rave:

I hope you have paid it straight away b4 they change their mind?

I can see a point to that though I believe you are at most risk with a turbo car within the first 6 months of having a crash if you survive a year you risk is really only the same as a normal car casue you arent goign to have a stupid accident comming on boost in the wet etc and you have proved you treat you car with respect.

good one.

my premium for my cefiro is $600 a ear with just cars ( full comp) :P

god damn.. i'm getting a cefiro :P

Mine never came down after first year.. stayed exactly the same (although it was pretty low to begin with for a modified GTS-T) and i've been rating 1 for 3 years. Think i should shop around again?

Gee i dont know how u can fork out 4k a year on comp

when u have to pay 2k excess...u might aswell put that money aside and if u do have a crash should be enough to repair your car...

Im only 3rd party but have money aside just in case something happens.

i cant believe how some of u dudes fork out all that money for car insurance.....i suppose the bast_ rds leave us no choice.......Im also with just cars and pay around the 1300 mark for full insurance

I even think that is too much because im a rating 1. When i had my beamer i was paying around the 800 mark full insurance

Turbos are EVIL to insurance companies......

Its almost a joke isn't it.. now if you think about it, I mean sure skylines get in accidents, but its not like the majority - it seems they base their premium on the fact that the majority of turbos are going to be in an accident at least once a year!

Makes you wonder about other cars though - they're either get in much much less accidents (hmm, still doubtful on that one), or somebody is just trying to fleece certain people for as much as they can!

Aaargh flex mate. That totally sucks. Mebbe, u might be better off with a different car right now? Cos in a few year's time u can get another R33 (not a SII tho)

this is my first year driving the skyline.. so i'm getting Comprehensive.. but if i'm accident free for the year, then i'll get 3rd party but if my insurance do go down that low like wardest.. i will most likely consider it. :headspin:

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
