Lumleys Insurance is chasing business > undercutting Shannons and Just Car where they can; (but don't know for how long). Shannons is extremely touchy about even 1-2 traffic violations combined with young age and the suburb where the car is garaged. Guild Insurance has now cut themselves off from grey import insurance.

LSV stopped doing Imports 18-24 months ago, and wouldn't insure my GTR - even though the GTS-R was insured with them. So i cancelled and went to Shannons.

Have they altered their policy again?

Yes Ash, with adverts on radio too. We have 2x GTRs with LSV &1x with Guild under grandfather clause. LSV did our paperwork from Melbourne too.

FYI OP, Shannons and LSV offer choice of repairer. Just Car doesn't.

Try RACV for a quote, we've had a discussion a while ago that they insure the Skyline.

NRMA insures grey imports up here too (like RACV) but the "Sum Insured" offered is quite lame. RACV is the same?

Depending on your age I really recommend going with just car, I insured my 33 GTST last year (male, 20, Hawthorn) and compared to other quotes I got from Shannon's and RACV they really offered a better price than the competitors.

Any reason you want to change from Just Car or are you just curious about other prices? I found they were much cheaper than other companies for someone in their early 20s driving an import.

Yes their excess is quite high but they seem to pay out more than others.

My old R33 was insured through Allianz for about 10k with 1k excess, my current R33 is insured through Just Car for 15k with excess just under 2k.

Interesting... Called them up. They won't come removely close to the Agreed Value Shannons were putting forward. So Lumley are still a waste of time unfortunately for a highly modded import :)

Also got a quote out of Enthusiast Underwriting, they've met the Agreed Value that Shannons have offered, and have beaten the premium by $250. Excess is better also ($1000 vs $1500). They offer choice of repairer & one windscreen a year (if damaged)

Just going through the rest of the PDS at the moment.

But with what excess?

Ive been with just car before...wasn't a fan of the service

I <3 Shannon's

This. People praising JCI obviously haven't had to make a claim. They make every step of the process drawn out and painful and you have to argue for every little crumb they will give you. Shannons for me was cheaper and better peace of mind, that said I'm almost 24 now so my 3 speeding fines and an at fault claim didn't ruffle them.

Yeah excess with JCI is high, but also if you increase you're excess it can drop your premium by a fair bit.

Being a dickhead when I was younger meant there was no chance of me getting insurance through them, but I would definitely consider switching to them in the future. Still if you're young and and an under 25yo with an import I really don't see a lot of other options!

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
