Hey guys :wavey:

New 2 this place..& firstly wanna thank for all the useful threads so far..saved me a lotta headaches.

I've had my car 4 bout a month now and uhhh boy!!!

So i thought i'd add my useful find..especially for us younger drivers..

EBM insurance brokers.. just like everyone else i slaved for days on the phone trying to save my hard earned cash..and i think i found a pretty good deal for my age. Don't know if anyone else is insured through these guys...they ain't too bad.

Previously had 3yrs third party with RAC

Now at 20 i pay $1368 with $200 excess + a free windscreen claim a year. (YAY!)

for my '93 Gts-t.

Hope it helps (as in a perfect world we'd all be driving GTR's with $150 premiums)

Cheers

-Dan

Of course they wont complain. Insurance companies arent permitted to know the details of anyones driving record. You have to sign a permission form for them to get access to it.  

Moral of the story, keep mouth shut unless you absolutely HAVE to tell them.

interesting i neva knew that can they find out how many demerits youve lost?

Thing is if you "forget" to tell them something about your driving history and then make a big claim they can AND WILL investigate and refuse your claim if you have been dishonest about something that may have affected their decision to insure you.

Think about it, if you had to shell out say $20k to someone wouldn't you try to get out of paying if it is legal to do so?

They're not dummies they're large corporations.

Honesty is the best policy

Danzil you have definitely done the right thing. You gave the full story and they have agreed to insure you.

Besides 1 point in three years is nothing to worry about.

Cheers

LOL HBF - $880 per year

then I rang suncorp....she punched in the figures and told me it would be $18721.69c per year and would I be using credit card to pay that........

I asked her to double check and she said that was a correct figure......guess some people are a little delusional about prices!

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
