So, apparently every insurers decide to jack up on the price this year.

Awaiting for an email from LSV regarding a quote after I'd contacted them last evening.

If it's still a complete joke, time to consider buying something else which I'd struggle to get myself to viewing/test-drive/researching/etc...

Also something to ad about Shannons....

I've also got house and contents with em, and i've had to make a claim when some low life muppet scum stole my mountain bike from my garage. They were nothing but AWESOME, and i got paid out current market value of my mountain bike (minus excess of $200).

Dealing with Shannons is very easy!

Check out my thread which I posted about 2 months ago. The bastards at Just Car put mine up $1400 and I've made NO CLAIMS!! When I called to lose my sh!t at them they told me it was becuase of the floods in QLD and the hail in VIC.......thieves. Lumleys and Shannons are MUCH better if you can convince them to cover you. Better on price, much much better on service. Just car is aimed at younger guys who drive imports with no other insurance options to turn to, so they exploit this fact and charge ridiculous amounts for their cover.

I got another quote for the BRZ - and it's gone up, $1550. I'll be shopping around once the time comes, although I like being with Shannons I cannot justify that much money for full comp at my age and Rating 1 for life.

i've called racv out of curiosity. 26yr old male no prev accident history etc etc....they have no "market value" for the r34 gtt so on an agreed value of $16.5k it came to be just under $1,200 a year.....which isn't bad really.

Called up justcar they wanted $2.8k.....go figure, ill probably go with racv

So glad I saw this thread, I've just started shopping around for insurance because Just cars are charging me $1700 for insurance on the R32 gtr, Shannons just quoted me $1800 with agreed value or 25k on a limited 1-2 days a week use. List of mods (standard stuff: ecu, zorst, coilovers, wheels) I've had a no claim history and one speeding fine I'm rating 1 and 26yo. I thought that Shannons we're supposed to be really good to go with and I've got friends with the same model car using them and their policies are $500 cheaper.

Insurance companies using that as justification for a rise just means call another company... I've had no such increase with Shannons.

shannons didn't increase mine... i know jci increased krysisisisiu's

I spoke to Shannon's 26 rating 1 no claims fines etc they were 1k more than JCI!

JCI tried to put my premium up $250-300 at renewal I rang and said get stuffed I'll go elsewhere so they left it the same rate which I was fine with on my Lexus was $1300p.a no ridiculous excess and 48k agreed value just got my a5 no extra charge and agreed value is even higher so can't complain..

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
