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.

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

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
