Hey guys just wanted some opinions on comprehensive insurance. Basically I've narrowed it down to RACV and JustCar, each have their pros and cons.

RACV ($1831) complete care

Pros:

  • Glass and windscreen cover with no excess
  • Car hire after accident/theft
  • Vehicle pickup and return

Cons:

  • High excess $2600
  • low agreed value $16380

JustCar ($1994/$625 excess or $1851/$825 excess)

Pros:

  • Higher agreed value $19250
  • lower excess

Cons:

  • No glass and windscreen cover
  • No car hire?

The question is which one would you go for? I'm leaning towards RACV more at the moment but the high excess is giving me second thoughts. As for JustCar, from my previous experience with them, they tend to lower the agreed value each renewal significantly so the value will probably be the same as RACV the next year or so. I'm 26 y/o Rating 1.

I did not know that the NRMA insured imports ?

Might be wrong but I think I tried to insure my 350GT Skyline 8 years ago and they were not interested.

AAMI was the same and I had 2 cars with them at the time, if I remember correctly , Just Cars is an AAMI company and the bloke I was talking to gave me their info.

I tried Shannon's and they were much more expensive.

Going to try some of the others when the insurance is due.

I'm with Lumley SV & consider their pricing very reasonable for enthusiasts. It really depends on your criteria and what you want from your policy. I'm more concerned about having my choice of repairer and salvage rights.

You can find threads on here every year with various price ranges people pay. We all have different criteria though, so they are kind of pointless.

As others have said, pay attention to who the underwriter is and what's included in the policy. They're not all the same.

Peter, if your BNR34 was built in '99, you even qualify for NRMA Vintage Veteran and Classic which can insure for an appropriate Sum Insured at very low premium so long as you don't drive it any more than 9000Kms per yr and the car is well secured. Yes the car needs to be at least 15 yrs old.

Check out the thread by Walkou in General Automotive!

Id go just car, I use them for all my cars and when I had a prang with my commodore they didn't give me any hassles when it came to covering the Lexus I hit.

It was only 3rd party so my car was a write off but they were good regardless.

I've had mine insured with NRMA since I bought it 3.5 years ago. Most common insures won't though. you have more luck with a V36, even suncorp will insure them.

maybe because I put a twin turbo kit on it ??

Something I should have already looked at but if you write your car off and you have full comprehensive insurance.. Do they let you keep your wreck after they pay you out?

I am going to find out on Monday if I get to keep the leftovers :) if something bad happens :(.

Most of the good shit will still be OK and can wack it into another R and save a shitload of $$$$$s on all of the mods for a new build :)

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..   
    • 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.  
    • 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?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • 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
