Shannons wont insure you.

im pretty sure they dont insure anyone under 25 with a turbo vehicle.... but i might be wrong.

Yeah, they took me when I was 24. Had to have a good record etc.

Hey race!! What did shannons do to you? I've been with them for 2 years now, and havn't had any trouble with them (and they handled a small claim for me). Good agreed value, monster mods at around $1600 per year.Was with famous classic - who I found to be less helpful.

i was with shannons with my first 300zx and it caught fire and they paid out within 14 days....no problems with them at all and then they insured my R32 and my R33 with out any issues. with my current 300zx i am with just cars and no probs with a little claim i had a little while ago

when i rang up shannons to get over phone quote they asked my age and what car and they said they wouldnt insure me for a Turbo'd vehicle under the age of 25. i didnt even bother with NRMA as ive heard some bad stories, but Just Car has been the best find for me, although i might check out this "vigil"

i tried shannons because my mate has his Civic insured with them, went with him to insure it, and shannons seemed really hassle free and quite easy to deal with. but ohwell... suppose ill have to wait till im 25 and see what happens?

shannons quoted me for full compo and 3rd party, granted it was a supercharged mr2, and i was 19...

but even that's a bit more "acceptable" than 16/17yrs and a turbo skyline. not picking on you beau, just saying its possible they couldve said NO fullstop based on age and car..

PM or talk to 8OO5TED - he has insured all three turboed cars of mine and was exceptionally helpful. If there is to be any issues with vehicles and/or age he WILL tell you what can and cannot be done. Strongly recommend the contact. At least you will know what can be done for your car and your insureance.

I had minor smash which took 9 months to fix, I was on the phone to shannons all the time they did nothing, I had to find parts myself, then the spray painter did the shitest job ever had to take the car off them, which then got fixed by someone else. I had to go out and buy another car. Before it was finished Shannons rang me and ask so how is the car going now that its finished, I was like what the f**k Its still sitting in some dodge pannelbeaters shop hasnt been touched. They had no idea. The asseor for Them did the runner and left all the unfinish shit to be picked up by other people I found out later that the asseor was mates with the spray shop i got it done at. After all that they send me a new qoute for my insurance, from 1700 to 3500

I had been with them for about 5 or more years too at that stage.

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
