HBF every time!!! theyve insured all my imports excellent service and cheap cheap!! my stag fully comp just shy of $600 a year not bad for a turbo import ... my 300zx TT was the same and my 180 and silvia were a lil more cos they were the first cars i insured with them.

When my 180 got broken into they were awesome ... got it sorted in a day =)

im with just cars im 99% sure and with a rb25 its $1000 a year for 21 year old with 65% no claims and garage storage etc, and for the rb26 engine without increasing the value (insured for 19K) its $1100 a year instead, not bad i dont reckon. wait till i mention i want to up the value to 30K or something and then we shall see what they charge.

cheers

Tried to contact HBF - Health Benefit Fund. They are WA based and wont cover any cars registered outside WA.

If I wasn't living in God's own state I would think about moving..

Oh well, life wasn't meant to be easy - just sunny...every day.

CruiseLiner,

If you have any dramas insuring it for $30K, PM me :D

hey mate, do u happen to work at just cars? i've actually spent around 35k on the car in the past 6 months (thats just parts, not the car itself, not the rb26 engine conversion, and not labour)

how would i go about getting it valued for more than that? its getting out of control and last thing i want is it getting stolen and losing 30K worth of gear cause its only insured for 30K, 30k wouldnt even cover a stock rb26 conversion at all, let alone the engine build, brembo brakes, susp, etc etc.

any info appreciated

Brad

Any one after;

Agreed Value

Choice of Repairer (lifetime guarantee on those repairs)

Pay by the Month (at no extra charge)

Free Windscreen cover

Blanket cover for modifications

Professional driving course cover

21yo+ with a relatively clean driving record

PM me for a comprehensive quote :D

yeah PM him, this guy is really good and he will look after members of SAU!

and mate, i will be in touch with you soon for my policy. cheers

Gday Brad,

You may, or may not, remember me. I came and looked at your VL Calais when you were selling it!

I work for Shannons Ins, Im unsure as to our Just Cars would go about insuring your Stagea for $30K+, but I can tell you now, that that value wouldnt be a problem with us especially after reading about your build up so far.

arrh k, no sorry i dont remember u exactly, had lots of lookers for the VL in the end, and how do i go about value, is it the reciepts u have for brand new parts added up or what?

ill definately be in contact when i get it running again :D

I have a cover note with Unique for $1135. 40 yo, never had a claim, A1 rating etc etc. Seems a bit high, Shannons was higher.... although I would reconsider if they come up with a better rate :(

Huge thanks to 8005TED for organising the insurance on the stagea. 

i am already a customer of Shannon's (for my GTS-t), the prompt response and price provided was great. 

happy little wolv.  :(

Glad to help out mate :P

Luke, PM sent :wub:

is price the single only issue when looking for insurance?

Nope,

Reputation & Service, Shannons wasn't the cheapest quote I got but I went with them as they did give me a better deal, agreed value, extras and cover for additional items (at no extra cost), excess is also an important issue, you don't want your car insurance to be like private health cover and be left with massive gaps if you need to call on it! (I sound a liitle too much like the TV ad now)

Cost is the most important thing, until you need to make a claim... then you want the other stuff to kick in big time I'd say!

Speaking as a policy holder and not having made a claim.

Luke

Great to hear your happy with the cover Luke, and Im happy to continue helping SAU members where I can.

I guess you never really appreciate your insurer and the cover they offer until you find yourself making a claim.

    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
    • The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned. 
    • Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?
    • I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
