Hey guys i know this has been covered a hundred times it looks like time for me to renew my comprehensive.

Is anyone here insured with NRMA? they are giving me bullshit excuse on how everyone's premiums are going up this year the damn premium has gone up by $300 (no accident history) and despite the fact that i have turned 25, they also dropped the agree'd value by $5000 which is ridiculous.

Even stranger is when i tried to get a quote from AAMI they told me they don't insure imports when the previous owner of my car was with AMMI!! WTH...

When i told them the previous owner was insured by them, they told me someone must have made a mistake because it shouldn't have been insured.

What's everyone else with? any recommend any good insurance companies?

edit: typo

maybe the previous owner meant "JUST CARS", it's part of AAMI did u know...

as for getting your premiums down...have you tried listing your mum or dad as primary driver and you as a secondary....???

Nope they were insured with AAMI after i purchased they even sent me a letter to renew my comprehensive...which i don't have anymore.

Also i am listed as secondary driver and my parents are primary.

No idea if they were just bullshitting me saying everyone's premiums are going up by couple of hundred this year, due to large amount of claims made in 2012.

I am with NRMA and they play silly buggers with me every year my insurance is due, last year was no exception with them wanting allmost 2k!!!!

fortunately I was able to get them to beat a quote by AI insurance which brought my price down to a much better $800

Still given when I 1st got the car and insured it 4 and and a bit years ago for 30k they wanted $1500

I'm insured with NRMA.. I paid just under $800 per year with glass cover.

NRMA usually beat any competitor quote by 10%.. so search around and find something cheap and take it back to them..

AAMI don't do imports.. not sure how the previous owner managed to get them to insure it.. I even asked them when I got my V35 as my previous car was insured with them.

Suncorp do the V36, but not the V35.

I'm 21, lost licence 2 years ago for speeding, insured with RACQ for $2200 a year and an agreed value of $26k..i pay $184 a month because it's a big whack of money to pay at once. Shouldn't have lost my licence years ago it's killed me, even though i was doing 70 in a 60 zone twice within a week apart and lost it.

I'm with NRMA - QLD and i havent heard anything about the rise :O Should I be worried? I'm already paying like 1600 a year.

Yeah i'm paying around 1600 but this year despite the fact i turned 25 they are looking at just a bit over 2k!!

A few of my mates got theirs renewed and didn't get a rise. I get a feeling they're playing games.

im with just car claimed mid December and car went in second week of Jan. it was a car park bump not my fault. didn't have to pay an excess even though the other bloke wasn't insured. im happy with them. and pay about 1400 at 28

Did they drop the premium the year after if you don't have an accident?

Because one of my mates has his WRX'S insured with Justcars and paid 1800 for the first year. And because he didn't have any accidents the following year his premium went down to just 1k. That seems pretty reasonable if they do that he whole reward you for being a safe driver incentive.

Your premium usually drops as your driver rating increases. That's the whole rating one thing.

At rating 1, you're supposed to be a great driver that never has any issues. Less risk for them. This is usually calculated on driving history. So if you haven't had any incidents in 6? years, then you're at that level and your premium probably won't drop any further. If you start on a level 3, then move to a level 2, your premium would drop a bit.

  • 1 month later...

My previous NRMA cost was $1300 for $30k agreed or something, i got the renewal and its $2200... wtf

Just car is $1257 @ value of $20950 and when doing the same value with NRMA its $2030... they dont do 10% now so they can suck it. Shanons want $2100 for $30k and $2200 for $35k

Will try RACQ, but who with NRMA has V35 and didnt get increase ??

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
