Hey guys,

I know I'll probably cop a few words from you lot, but I need some convincing about switching to full comp insurance lol.

I'm currently on 3rd party, fire & theft with Just Car paying $500 a year with a $2000 excess. But been thinking about switching to Shannons' full comp due to heaps of Skylines being stole lately lol.

Shannons quoted me $1670 a year with a $900 excess for full comp, which works out to $140 a month with a $20,000 agreed value..

Which one should I choose?.. >_<

hey charles...i only had 3rd party on my GTT and it turned into a shit fight. and being in above average condition like mine was you will always feel like ur being ripped off if anything happened when u only have 3rd party and it has to go through someone elses insurance....since iv got the rx-7 i decided to go comprehensive this time, just makes you feel a lot safer when you drive it and leave it anywhere.

you've spent a fair bit of time and money on your car so id definatly go comprehensive and like you said skyline theft seems to be happening a lot. everytime i come on here there is another thread about someones skyline being stolen :down:

Man, I wouldn't even consider having less than comprehensive insurance. $700 a year for me :P

...... Who are you with?.. And how old are you? lol

Yeah.. Fair enough, I'm definitely leaning towards full comp lol. $20,000 is definitely better than $8000-9000 if it gets stolen or written off..

If you're under 25 full comp for ~$1600 is good, my first year with just car was $3000 second, $1900 third year at 21y/o was $1600 or $1900 with $1,000 excess which was pretty good considering my echo is $1000 full comp

Just Cars is your friend - use the adJUST function to bring down your excess = laughing.

Just pray you don't have an accident that's your fault :P

Fire and theft on a third party policy usually only covers you for $5k worth of damage.

I don't get it, you have 3rd party, fire and THEFT, and you want to change to full comp because of all the Skyline's being stolen?

Glad someone else spotted it Spose he means he will get more if is stolen and full comp insuro.

what is your THEFT pay out figure right now

its usually the simple question

would you walk around with 20k in back pocket and "hope" no one takes it

and if they do take it, would you care?

a) YES - get full comp

b) NO - stay as is

i know i'd be pissed if i had my car stolen and only 3rd party

insurance is there for a good reason

most of the people who put "stole car look out for" threads and REALLY REALLY want their car back

are people without full comp insurance

if you have full comp insurance and its flogged who cares

as long as the payout is reasonable away you go

full comp also helps you if someone rams you and drives off

or its unclear who is at fault, instead of being stuck with 10k bill you can get your car fixed

$50 a week for N/A four door? Fuck me.

Hey Moh...I've got a history of smashing cars, insurance claims and losing my licence...I'm on $900 a year full comp for a turbo coupe.

umad?

Just to clear things up...

Yes, I've got 3rd party fire & theft, but that's with Just Car and they ONLY cover up to $10,000 market value PLUS you gotta pay excess... Which means if my car gets stolen, and if they are kind enough to pay me the full $10,000, I'll end up walking away with like $8,000 or something after excess..

Where as, with Shannons, $20,000 agree value with NO theft excess..

Just Car is shit... I just got an online quote from them, $2,000 premium with $1850 excess for market value, THEN I adjusted the adJUST crap, made my excess to like $3,000, and even then, my premium woulda been $1,400 lol...

This is going to suck for me when I get a skyline. I'm only 19 and I've never had a car in my name -.- lol. I guess you've got to pay to play, though. The peace of mind would be great for me, as I plan on using the car as a daily so the chances of it getting pranged/pinched are higher than your weekend cruiser.

$50 a week for N/A four door? f**k me.

Are you positively annoyed friend?

yeah, im jelly.. who u with?

If you think you're gonna get your car stolen, get full comp...

I'll be getting 3rd party for my next car though. + wheelclamp + clublock + loose wheel nuts..

this idea, concept and your countermeasures are flawed

forget countermeasures, forget if you "think"

its a simple case of

at some point in time, regardless of why/how/when/where/who/what

your car will be stolen or written off or mangled by someone else

the key question is can you afford to loose the market value of your car - ie lets say 18k

if yes, then no need for insurance or 3rd party

if no, then get full comp

forget the other crap its flawed and youll only end up pissed off when something happens

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
