Insurance = incase shit happens

if you dont crash or get crashed into you should get it back.

its only fair

nrma cost $8500 per year for me in 5 years if u dont crash in those 5 years you could have brought a r34 GTR if you brought a shitbox and saved

22k for my car +8500x5=42500

solution was not to go with nrma Brokers are the best source for cheap insurance

my 27cents

Who has illegal mods and has insurance and has made a claim and not been detected or actually been rejected?

Who has "forgotten" to mention everything?

When you read all the companies policy terms, it clearly states the car must comply with the states regulations.

Now considering a pod and an a/m cooler are not allowed ( in VIC anyway ) there must be many many of you guys that have more illegal mods, management etc and also pay a shitload p/a for cover?

Fully comp. R33 Gtst

last year was $1350.

this year am 22 with a rating 1

am paying $1000

thats why justcars and agreed value is $18000.

thats with mods suchs as 18" chromes, full bodykit, piggyback computer, FMIC, boost controller and turbo timer listed in the policy

Interesting

They let you reel off all of your mods ( knowing they are illegal ) and charge you more money for doing so.

But if a claim was to be made, they could tell you to read the policy stating about the legalities of mods and could refuse the claim.

Who has made a claim and had no hassles, with declared mods?

With Classic and paying $2200... for full comp and rating 1 ... aged 28... $1000 excess and no other drivers covered

1998 GTT r34

listed audio install, 18" rims, exhaust system, air filter and coil overs

@ market value

tried getting them to reduce, but they wouldn't budge (this is the second year with them)...

heath Lambert was charging me 3k before and jumped to 3300 so i guess Classic's reasonable.

I have full comp, $1400 a year. I would have just gone third party, but my main concern is having the car stolen, as it lives outside, and you can't get third party fire + theft in the ACT (i think you can now tho, but not when i took out my policy).

I pay $558 a year with Unique Car Insurance. These guys are underwritten by Lloyds of London, yes, that Lloyds! Full comp, agreed upon value, no restriction to modifications providing it is legal in my state or is certified. Great to deal with, actual ppl down there have a love for cars and motor racing.... a rare attitude these days.

I am a rating One and g/f is rating two. Was with Shannons with a previous car, but after it was stolen, and their attitude to people with a legit claim I pulled my 'sponsorship' from them. Never, ever, ever will I go back to Shannons.

Yeah, I agree, 3rd party property should be the minimum. I was hit last year by an un insured person and they are still paying the insurance company back.. at a LOT of their paycheck.

What do you think someone with a show car would have? Full comp, I wonder how expensive that would be..

I'm a P plater still and pay $680 on third party with Just cars, ths good thing is that I get a rating. So i'm waiting to get off my P's then see how much insurance will be full comp, by then i should HOPEFULLY be on rating 4.

I made the mistake of insuring under my dads name and didnt get a rating for the 1st year, knock on wood I have been driving just over 2 years and not had an accident * Knocks on wood* =)

Btw i was quoted $3500 rating 5 full comp with just cars. My car being a R33 Skyline GTS-T.

Was with suncorp for $2700 initially untill the first crash (They refused to renew my policy funnily enough), then changed to NRMA (Of all people) with old boys NCB it turned out to be $1500.

Since this year though I have spent all my money on just getting the poor thing fixed and running again (I kid you not, fortnightly pay sucks) Just running on Comp 3rd Party at the moment. As soon as the banks let me increase my P/L or Credit cards, I will go looking for proper insurance again. The Third Party with Fire and Theft is also an option if thats all I can afford :)

Well if its the same as NSW, the third party with rego is "Third Party Injury" insurance ie if you injure another person you are covered.

"Third Party Property" insurance covers you if you hit someone's car or property. If you don't have at least this you will be personally liable for every cent of damage

Who from? I didn't know any insurers offered that in NSW!!!

for skylines or in general? there are plenty of insurers that offer third party fire and theft for other cars, I had about 5 quotes for the mighty navara.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
