i just got off the phone to just cars, they want $3100+ to insure me for $14000....they can go pull themselves

count yourself lucky

wtf?

im on green P's and I only got quoted $1800 ?

but ive held a licence for 5 years ( american licence ) and have had insurance before..

have you had it before?

My 98 R33 is currently insured for 26k i think.

I paid $1700 2 yrs running (i'm over 30 by the way)

3rd yr comes around and still they want $1700.

Rang em up and said " i think I'm paying too much"

Gave a bit of a speal and they said "How about $1600"

I was already pretty happy, but said "how about $1500.

Yep! Whoohoo !

Hi guys i have a R33 97 Model i am 22 as well and seem have had the same problem i manged to get mine insured for $25000 which is what i paid for it with just cars but before that i was looking at a 93 model r33 and the charged me $1000 more i couldnt believe it but it seems the older they are the more expensive the insurance as wellthats why i got the 97 model.

just cars also have a policy where they will look at market value but if that is more than you paid for your car they will then work off what u paid

so basically if you paid 15000 and market is around 18000 they will only insure you for under what you originally paid

i had 3rd party with just cars last yr for 545 and wanted full comp this yr they wanted 1700 to cover my car for 12000 as i only paid 14000 for it

i moved to shannons but am paying 2100 but will cover for 16000

one other thing with just cars is the outragous excess prices if i caused an accident my excess would be $2300 or if not at fault $1900

shannons is 1200 at fault or 500 not at fault

not to bad considering im 22

out of interest what insurance rating do you have (NCB rating)?

Are you full licence or P plates? is the car insured in your name? and finally which state and city do you live in?

Who here has lied about their driving history, made a claim and then had it rejected coz you didn't mention that you lost your liscence (once or twice) withjin the last 5 years? Can you get away with any bullshit on your application

BTW I just had my quote from JustCar for $1700. I'm 24YO with a R33 GTS-T but it shit's me to tears that JustCar don't do pay by the month!!!

My car is in the compliance shop atm and about to be registered and I don't want the rego and insurance to fall on the same day next year coz it'll be like a 3G hit!! OUCH!!! So YoungandCool quote me monthly payments of $175.50 (first month is $406.00) so in 6 months I can purchase a 12 month premuim so the annual fees are equally divided accross the year. It'll cost me a bit more in the first year but it's worth it for me.

Friday!! WooHoo!!!!

    • 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
