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

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
