Kel, i totally agree, and dont drive anything that is not covered with third party, thats fair enough, because third party is cheap anyway! worst case is around 700 bucks so u cant go wrong for the amount it covers ie if u smash into a 300 grand car, or say Duncan's 350zed :P

its just comprehensive that i have second thoughts about.

Sorry to hear about it btw. i would be annoyed since its a new unsmashed car until now!

Sorry about the Z

Full Comp is the way to go, I was parked in the city on Friday and a woman decided she couldnt see a grey Skyline. She is not insured and so i just claimed through my insurance and let them chase the money out of her.

I would rather pay $1 or 2k a year than 2k up if i smash.

Depending on which state you are in and which policy you have, third party won't save you in an at fault crash if you crash into something expensive as it doesn't cover third party property damage (or if it does, it is capped at something very low), it only covers damage to the other (injured) party (ie. damage to their person).

LW.

meh we broke a drive shaft in the datto yesterday, thanks to the magic of a welded diff at least it still moves.

BTW there are 2 types of "third party" insurance.

The compulsary Third Party you get with rego covers *you* for nothing, it provides some cover anyone you injure

Third Party Insurance covers any car or property you damage in an accident. IMHO this is the minimum everyone should have. Some policies also cover your own car for up to $5k if it is stolen or burned out.

Oops. Dincan, I stuffed your pole mate... sorry. I voted in the No, I won't crash section but should have gone with "yes I pay through the nose for insurance" section. Can't change my vote either :)

Very sorry to hear about the Z. Never would have happend in a skyline though...

correct, the skyline would have been thru a couple of minutes earlier :P

tbeffect, you are dead right, insurance is a gamble stacked against you, the insurance companies make their profit somewhere.

but...like a lot of gambles, its not just the chance of losing, its whether you can afford to lose no matter how small the chance....

Yep full comp for me!! At 19 and going from a 1600cc 1976 Chrysler Lancer to my GTSt, i figure there is a chance (although i am sensible and IMO a good driver) that i will have an accident.

Good thing is though having always had insurance in my name (3rd Party) from when i first bought my car when i was 16 i had 30% NCB, combine that with living in the country the cost for me is a relatively low $2600

Plus too many old country blokes in hats driving expensive volvo's likely to get in my way!!

Fully comprehensive all the way!

It is not worth the risk, especially since i only pay just under $100 each month through Shannons.

Was with Just Cars, but they would no longer insure me fully comp. with my new paint job (althought they were fine with all the engine mods) so they got the flick.

I was paying $2,4 a year with shannons until I had prang, they then jumpped it up to 3,5 so spat the dummy and told them where to put there insurance. Then went with classic I think, and now I pay like 1,7.

What sort of paint job do you have? does it change color? and how old are you 100 a month is pretty cheap :(

thanks

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
