personally, i think they should make it law (like in the US) to have 3rd party compulsory at least . i would be pretty P.O. if someone stacke dinto me without coverage. i have had a few discussions with friends without insurance, and we hypothesised that if someone crashed into me and didnt have insurance but said they could pay month by month like a payment plan (which they said they would do) i would go ballistic. As if you would wait that long for some idiot to pay up.

I have full comp and i have mentioned EVERYTHING. last thing i want to worry about is having to pull off parts and replacing them with standard.

bottom line, if you dont have the money to pay at leastf or 3rd party, then get a car that you can. and for anyone not willing to pay the huge policy costs of full comp, you will regret it if anything does happen! thats just my personal opinion.

Well, im one of those people that fit into the "dont have any" category.

Got it on my little (stock) corolla. Cost me $1800 full comp with Just cars. f**k i hate having a bad driving record, it really pushes up your insurance, guess the loss of licence for speeding really doesn't help my case. Reason the skyline doesn't have any is because its been off the road for the last (nearly) 6 months. Will be getting some once its back on the road.

indeed true, but i was loooking over my policy last nite

if your car has "illegal mods" they wont pay out?

totally correct.

Even if it does not contribute to the accident, you didnt tell them about it.

If you ring up and ask them, i think you'll find it voids your policy.

I could well be wrong but i think anything that voids the policy whether impacting the accident or not.. the insurance mob will void you regardless if they find it :P

They clearly state that you can make any modifications to your car.

But they have to be legal, and the insurance company MUST be notified.

Its all clearly stipulated.

Whats the first thing they are going to do when you get into an accident? Pull out your policy and see whats on the polciy vs whats on the car vs was it illegal.

Just about any mod can be made legal however. Engineers and EPA tests have thier costs though :)

Oh, and full comp (if i paid it) for my car is

$5,500

Agreed Value of $12,000

I laughed, thats less that the market value of a stock GTS-R.

Not one with about 30k+ on top.

They told me they could meet whatever i wanted, i told them upwards of 35k at the bare minimum and there was silence.

I wasnt going to pay $5,500 so thats where i hung the phone up :P

why should you declaire ur driving record for speeding etc.

its only a traffic infringement ont a criminal record

insurance companys arent in liason iwht the police or vicroads/rta so how are they to find out? by telling them they are just gunna jack ur price up, when theres no way they could find out otherwise?

agreed value on a 98 R33 GTS-T with mods $2400. agreed value of $20k. your driving record must suck

Nah, i think its incompetence @ the insurance company, not his driving. Ive called Just Cars 3 times getting 3 different quote numbers and then i called back and quoted the cheapest one. :D

Call back Dezz and see if u get a different figure.

Oh and it also makes a difference where u live also!!!

Im in Deer Park, one bird on the phone told me if i were in St Albans id have to pay about $100 extra, i was like f**k i am basically in St Albans what a crock of sh!t. (even though i benefited i still told her that it was BS)

I suppose but the differences shouldnt be that much, its not like a house a car can be broken into/stolen when not in your area.

So if my car got knocked off in Toorak i should pay 1/2 price on my access cos it was knocked from a ritzy area :P

In summary insurance companies are criminals :)

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
