I was looking to import a GTiR, which I have found but insurance is really starting to get annoying.

My first bet was SGIO as I heard they do some imports and they said they would only insure the car for market value ($10,000 - yeah right thats all its worth) and the premium would be $5,000 year.

After telling SGIO to love the **** I set about rining Famous Insurance and apparently they don't insure people under 19 years of age ? Robyn said she would have to refer it to the manager and I would have to call back :)

Any other companies that will insure imports in Perth ? Is it worth going to a broker and what are the costs for their services like?

Cheers

J.

Heya dude!

I'm with RAC but managed to get in before they started going strict o what imports to insure....

Your best bet is doing a search through WA threads for each thread in regards to insurance (belevie me there has been plenty of em!) from there have a ring around.... if no luck then perhaps give shannons insurance a call. Yeah I'd say with A broker you might end up paying just that little bit more.....but could be worth it in the end!!!!!

My friend greg never insured his 300zx...... about 4 months ago smashed it in Nbridge!!! I bet he wishes now he had insurance!

Hmmm. Sounds odd. Speak to g0df4ther, he is thru famous, i forget how old he is.

I am also through famous, but I'm 20 :) (but still a 16yr old at heart)

Good luck mate.

I'm with a broker called cgu along with a couple of my mates who are also with tha same broker and they got me a quote of $600 a year and thats when I was 17 so I thought that was ***in awesome lol, mind you its insured in my dads name with me as a secondary driver :)

Im 19 and have a GTS and Famous said they would insure me for around $2500 which is the best i can find so far so im probably gonna go with them. The car is a non turbo but (but will be getting a turbo when my insurance goes down), so i dont know if they will insure you for a turbo but im pretty sure they will if you have a clean record.

Tell us what you find if you go through a broker coz i was thinkin about doing that aswell:)

ah yes...im 19 but got insurance from them just before i turned 19 (the 'line was a bday present) so you shouldnt have probs with getting insurance. plus the fact that my car isnt even garaged at nite and they still insured me...:D

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • 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.
