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 sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
