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!

I got one or two quotes like that. gave me a friggin heart attack!

yeah, $8k/year.

huh? are you sure? wanna check that?

yeah, that's right. imports are expensive to ensure. plus, you cant drive it on the roads. or park it. anywhere.

just have it, and look at it.

:devfu:

  • 2 months later...

Has anyone else been reamed by HBF lately.

Got my insurance renewal in the mail. I now have maximum no claim bonus since last year, which should reduce it further, and I'm a year older yay cheaper again! ....and get this... my premium WENT UP!

I tried EBM Insurance but they don't insure imports to anyone udner 25 anymore! (WTF)

Who else has a good deal on insurance they want to share? (and no, Just cars don't do monthly payments!)

Well if you are 26 and over you fall into the insurance companies "we love you guys at that age category".

I was with famous cars up till last month being 24 i was getting full comp insurance for 2K including mods (upgrade turbo, mags, exhaust, stereo etc) on 20K agreed.

My friend exactly the same car with similiar mods but 30 years old he's getting covered for $900 talk about me getting screwed.

Now i am with Just cars paying $1300 including the mods.

If I had straight standard GTS-T 95 Series II it would only be $1000.

SO if you have a standard skyline and are under 25 i recommend Just cars.

i work for an Insurance Broker in the city and I just recently tryed to obtain insurance on a 32. i tryed no lie 11 companies,.... i had to go to the Insurance Inquiries and Complaints Board and you can tell them im a ie: Male, 22 with an Import - and they can give u the numbers of which insurers will cover you. They gave me for the details above about 4 numbers.... now i tryed all 4 out of that 2 companies said no. One other said Yes but they must return the suspension back to normal ride height and return it to a stock turbo. (would not cover upgraded turbo)

I ended up trying Just Car Insurance and found that they are of the better option. the Premium combined with state charges and levies came to $2,015.00 which isnt that bad really...

its only going to get harder as the media and other ppl drum up the idea of the "street racer image" and cars of this power and stereotype keep on crashing... the parts are also harder to get. (insurance companies take the hard way around things)

I might be able to get cheaper rates becos i know a few ppl so if anyone wants to give it a crack just PM me and i can give it a shot.... I can also get lower excess's and stuf.. also help explain some of the terms and conditions...

:)

Well its either save the money on insurance with one hit and then spend the savings on mods instead of getting reamed.

Just cars is cheaper for me... only they don't allow you to pay monthly (big lose)

and I dont have a spare $1k lying around... well... I do for mods, but not greedy insurance companies :D

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
