Insurance for third party injury is your greenslip in NSW and it's mandatory or you cant renew the rego. Greenslip usually costs me about 500 and rego i believe is in the mid 200s, i just see it as a 700 odd dollar package as im sure most people do.

On the original topic: IMO third party is a must have at minimum but comprehensive really pays off if someone else wrecks your car and has no insurance for whatever reason, or does a runner. Let your insurance chase up the at fault party and deal with repayments of $15 per pay packet while you get a new car.

I agree completely agree about third party being a must. But rego is more expensive by the weight of your car, so 500 or more for Third Party plus $437 for what amounts to a standard Commodores weight it quickly becomes a $1k exercise, so basically the NSW public is getting reamed by the state government and the insurance companys.

And its even more if you want to claim the car off tax for business use.

Has anyone tried making a claim with JustCar?

How did it go? :D

My excess was $1450 so I decided I'd just pay the $1200 repair job.

If making a claim is anything like getting insurance, expect a 40minute conversation with the operator about your car, his car, and all the mods you've done, doing and plan to do. <3ed JustCars customer support.

Paid for my 34 my self, worked my ass off for a year for it, and also paying about $1800 for full comp insurance. Bumped up the excess to nearly $3k though. My car is valued at $16.5k and wen you actually come down to work it out i do get screwed if anything were to happen to the car (touch wood) kinda shit isnt it if you work it out. however my parents pretty much demanded that i get full comp, no 3rd party so i guess i had no choice.

Im with just car btw and im paying monthly so its not too bad.

2 times ive done it with the 33

both times no issues - just ring and they go through all the stuff - all basic questions

second time i even called them up 2 days after the smash as wanted to see how much it would be first and because it was already at the shop just car just used them as they were my prefered and were a just car repairer

Payed Half and Half with Parents for my first car... an R31 haha. Still $1250 out of my pocket.

Only doing Third Party Fire and Theft, I pay for that.

Full blown $1000+ car insurance I cannot justify getting on an R31 thats worth less then what Ide pay a year in insurance.

I saved up $12 000 from working with my dad for 2 years, to get my r33 :) Never wanted to take a loan out on my first car, just all money i saved up. Then got full comp insurance with shannons under my dads name with me as a nominated driver and that costs about $1000 a year. Always been a good saver so i don't stuggle keeping up with rego, insurance, petrol, servicing etc etc

Started working full time after I finished year 12, not hard to save up when you live at home. $4500 for the car, and insurance with shannons under an "89 nissan skyline sedan", apparently there were no r32 4 doors in 89, so I fall under R31, insurance is considerably cheaper haha.

I spoke to them at a car show i was entered at and that had a stall there.

They took my details, texted me a quote and sent one in mail.

I'm 17

when i called them she wouldn't even consider me as i have no track or off road experience, and that's one of the main factors when under the age of 25, but i recall her saying that the age is increased now,

i use just car, about $1750 a year. full comp

Shannons can use discretion - it's up to the person you speak to, i have had a turbo insured with them since i was 21. There's things that help like track experience, history of powerful cars, driving record, knowing your mods and having the right sort of mods (20" chromies, hot pink paint and white leather interior will pretty much equal rejection for anyone), etc..

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
