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!

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
