Just did a online quote for 32 GTR, and it's $500-800 a year cheaper than R33.

A car without airbags and slighty weaker chassis is cheaper to insure, lolwut?

what!? really who with? never heard of it going up with any claims..did you modify your policy? add mods?

Nope. Didn't add anything. They are using the hail damage claims as a "reason" to up premiums to recoupe the costs.

Someone also called JCI and was told of using hailstorms that happened on last xmas as a excuse to jack up the premiums.

Pretty pathetic if you ask me.

Just go Shannons!

I was with Just Cars but this year they reduced my agreed value and up the premium.

Shannons gave me a cheaper premium and kept my higher agreed value from what Just Cars gave me last year.

Shannons only managed to shave $30 off a year, hardly worth parking it in garage every night for.

RACV, with $2k excess, they want $972 for 32 GTR and $1397 for R33 GTR...

But your excess is higher...

So in a sense it evens itself out.

But if RACV is doing you good so far then just stick with that.

Well, not that keen on paying $2k excess should the time comes to when I have to make an claim. And RACV doesn't list their 'market' value on the website so I looked through Redbook, I felt it isn't worth paying $2k excess for $12k 32 GTR. Plus I'm unsure how flexible RACV are with modifications.

Ah ok, I see.

Still, give Just Cars and Shannons and negotiate to an agreement of what suites both you and them best.

Old plastic clove clip things nissan seem to love are so annoying! Managed to only break half of 1 though... Taking off the plastic wheel arch thingy took a proper awhile trying not to break those brittle bastards lol. Think years of outside work hardened them :S

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
