if only JCI offered that!

Unfortunately there is alot Just Cars dont offer, but hey thats why they generally have small premiums and will atleast offer you insurance regardless of age/record.

You guys should be happy with what you pay

My premium last year was $4400 for a $44K 33 gtr with mods

This year im pretty stoked. $3165 with 40% no claim, 24 yr old in sydney. But my car value has dropped to 41k

Thats big $$ :D

Is it heavily modified?

33 GTR for me as a 24 year old with JCI was $1200 fully comp which was standard apart from an exhaust.

Interestingly I pay less to insure my Lexus with RACV than JCI quoted me. I pay $530 fully comp on the IS200 and JCI wanted $900.

On the original subject, from my previous insurance experience both here and overseas, anything illegal voided the entire insurance whether it contributed to the claim or not.

exactly, the boost controller wasnt the cause of the claim, right? hense they paid out. i doubt many assessors could confidently examine a modified Jap import and identify all the mods and what they do anyway.

think about it logically for a second. if they didnt pay someones claim out because of a boost controller or something similar it would kill their business. (half the people with policies would pull out). for legal resons they probably have to say they wont but they always will.

I've recently received a few quotes..

Cheapest were JustCars but they don't have pay by the month. Just Cars have a horrid excess should something happen.

Famous Car Insurance is pretty damn cheap also and do monthly.

Their excess is a little high.

Shannons have a pretty good all round policy, free windscreen, really cheap excesses and a pretty damn good price and no extra cost for monthly. But no under 25's.

Vigil... hrmm They were just over $200 more expensive than Shannons or more importantly $500 more than Just Cars. They required a receipt of the type of alarm and came across as being very picky. Their excess is pretty nasty, no free windscreen. They do monthly.

Free windscreen is a pretty big one, I've always used it in the past. Why put up with a crack in the windscreen if you don't have to. :P

I've got just cars insurance full comprehensive

98 r34 gt-t skyline

agreed to cover listed mods - boostcontroller, fmic, bov, exhaust

agreed to cover listed accesories - turbo timer ,alarm

agreed value - $34000

rating 1 - 24 yo

premium = $1100 next year falls to about $900

i reckon that's pretty reasonable don't you guys

when you say they agreed to cover your mods, are they covering the car with the mods fitted in the event of an accident claim etc, or covering those items for theft....ie if someone breaks in and steals your boost controller, TT etc,

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
