Shannons do my contents insurance.

Good thing about them is garage cover up to 10k I think, so wheels, tools and memorabilia etc. if they get stolen.

Don't you have to have it for your loan?

that's one of my requirements for our house loan. (house insurance not so much contents)

Got building insurance through body corporate but contents isn't covered as far as im aware.. real estate gurus can confirm?

Edit: yeah i want to go with someone that will cover my trailer behind gates too. 

When I was like 10 my parents got stooged my KLX125 got stolen (small dirt bike) AAMI said it's not covered under contents, argument was its basically a pocket bike that has no rego or anything and that they'd been with AAMI for 25 years etc.

My Just Car policy has somewhat automatically switched over to their underwriters AAMI. The TPF&T cover is exactly the same, but their premium is $260 instead of the $400 JC charged me...go figure? They seem to have a much higher excess ($1200) than JC did, so maybe that's why...

Wonder if the move was just to consolidate or to force customers into lower premium / higher excess options?

$260 a quarter? agreed value or market? I'm guessing agreed as market value on a R33 would be sheit these days 

I got 10k agreed on my road regoed dirt bike.. tempted to ride it to the station or cinemas one night when ready to sell, surely it'd be gone hah.

I don't like leaving it anywhere, no key and can start it up and ride off

third party sounds right for 260 a year, I was $131 on the S14.

you can adjust the excess back down to the original value and your premium will go back to around the original. 

 

really depends on what you want and where it parked.

A year...

It's third party fire and theft which is almost always market value. But up to 10k which is max for theft anyway. Wasn't difficult to argue Leesh's R33 was worth 10k when that got stolen and realistically it was probably worth 6-7.

Not doing comp insurance on a GTS-T...Shannons wanted $1200 a year for it lol

They offered me the same on our M35 stag, 260 with 1200 excess. I hope they offer me the same on the gtst. Birds, did you have any mods listed for yours?

Yes all my legal mods were listed with JC just for disclosure. Not listed on the AAMI replacement policy, but I haven't had a chance to amend it. There is a line on there about fitted options/accessories/modifications being included in the amount you're covered for, which is only 10k anyway, so it's probably less relevant to third party than comprehensive where you could claim extra for mods. Unless you're concerned about disclosure and being denied a TPF&T claim because of modifications not mentioned.

Yeah, I'm more concerned about having a claim denied due to unknown mods. Like you, I had only listed legal mods. Most of my stuff is concealed well and doesn't look too out of place, except for the roll cage lol. I may have to rethink that one.

Fk me, the dumb connections people draw while trying to be offended...they want the AFL to do something about him cause he was wearing a footy top at the same time? What's it got to do with football or other supporters? Will Nike ban him from their stores cause he wears their shoes lol

Roll cage isn't illegal though is it? just say you do track days with it and surely theyd be fine..

 

full cage is not legal, half cage is if your car has been modified to be a 2 seater, so you have to pull the rear seats/belts and get it checked at vicroads.

Not illegal if engineered

Pretty sure those rules have now changed, even a half cage needs to be signed off by an engineer and then car must be registered as 2 seater. Cars that are already regod as 2 seater on old rules are ok i believe. So, i either remove it or roll the dice. Decisions, decisions.

How are 18 years old going to register their illegally modified 86's for $30k without just car around?

I guess there's not many NA supras getting around with 10k stereos and 500 wheels anymore... Times are a changing.

 

You COULD get a full cage engineered. But who the f**k is going to run normal seats and a full cage? Fixed back seats not allowed. Then you'd need engineered for every other modification. Engineer says good luck or pay me thousands to say no.

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
