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.

    • Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?   
    • You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.
    • Run the piping how we all have for decades. Also the duel runners with the +T setup dramatically helps it gets on boost quicker. Yes, chase huge power it'll become a problem, but you're a long way off when you're already saying an aftermarket ECU is out of the budget. You also say NisTune as it's simple, and then immediately say it'll be painful, meaning... It won't be simple. It will likely cost you a lot more stuffing around with a Nistune, than just putting a Haltech or similar in.
    • I’ll order an afr gauge to keep an eye on it.  Then will get a haltech soon 
    • TD05 or maybe pulsar PSR2867r Gen 2?  id love a garret but it’s quite out the budget for now and I’m not chasing crazy power.    yeh fuel pump haven’t looked into but whatever works, kind of last on my list.    Nistune because it’s simple but Ik it’s a lot of pain especially as I’m auto +t with the whole seperate TCM etc still investigating that. Haltech id love but once budget tight for now atleast.    finally the reason I’m trying for a plenum instead of the stock intake is I already have a standard Intercooler mounted etc. so the ports are on both sides so trying to not have to go over the clutch fan radiator etc. trying to find a good deal return flow if I don’t than this will do for now I guess. btw any ideas with that, apparently some people have to cut blades to reduce it from hitting the Intercooler piping over the radiator ? Thanks
