im 18 and just cars quoted me 2746 for my 1996 gts-t unlimited mods (i have racked up the highest points with the mods i have)

premiums have come down about 800 in the last 3-4 months from just cars, only way i could afford my skyline lol

insurance premiums have dropped dramatically since a few weeks ago.

hrmm, i reckon just car should tell u straight off if a mod is legal or not. coz its not technically "easy" finding a particular rule to say if a particular mod is legal or not. if its not legal they should tell you straight away.

im not with justcar, my friend is and they told him that it was his responsibilty to make sure the mods are legal, not justcars'.

take for example the exhaust modification rule in NSW. "A vehicle cannot be fitted with an exhaust system which will work less effectively compared to factory OEM". say i get a full catback fitted onto the skyline, doing so immediately voids the rule, coz its not factory OEM specs. yet you have the option to tick "exhaust modifications" on the contract. yeh, "modifications". but who the hell is gonna change an exhaust(non sports) and tick yes? at fault claim rejected ? maybe.

you will be able to fit a cat back exhaust because it will work better than the OEM one.

but it also depends on what they classify as a "less effective exhaust".

well my quote isnt exactly word for word from the actual rule. but i do remember it being rather strict.

it sounds pretty stupid I think. They say only legal mods and it's our responsibility, so they will cover us for illegal mods, charge us extra and then possibly not pay out if something happens. They quoted me extra for my mods (exhaust and BOV) and it's third party, so they won't pay for any damage to my car anyway.

has anybody tried shannons?, I might give them a call later

Yes i had them for a long time and the price was good too but when i claimed for some repairs all hell broke lose, it tock 9 months for the car to be fixed then had to go back to another sparypainter to be finished and shannons then sent me a new policey for 3,400 so rang them and told them to **** off.

now i am with famous or unquie can remember but so far so good.

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
