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:)

      Rusty roof repair

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
