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.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
