That was on of there prefured, I just choose them out of a list went round and spoke to them, after all this I almost ended up in a blue with the repairer because shannons hadnt paid him for his shit work, (not my problem) 2 weeks with another spray painter and all is done and done well. Plus i Had to get Trojan to fit the front bar and re do the intercooler, (and get someone else to put the f**king A/C back together) I also never got the same cooler put back on, thank f**k they used my end tanks Trojan had the whole kit resprayed for me, at my cost so that it all matched the front of the car. The hole time they never helped me out I had to do the lot, so I changed insurance company

I spoke with a guy at Shannons when I first got my car. He told me that because I was under 25 and driving a turbo Skyline that he definatly would not insure me. He did say however that if I was a little older (23 was the example he gave) and taking out full comprehensive insurance, they may be able to make an exception.

I just got a quote from Matt aka _8OO5TED_ @ Shannons very helpful but unfortunatly a little more than i am paying now. I suggest people who are looking for insurance give him a call if others at shannons don't seem as helpful as he was :D thanks again for the quote Matt.

Mine's through Elder's too.

SilverSlyder- out of curiosity, what mods did your car have and did you declare them all to them? I ask because im looking to do a few little things to my car.

I sent them a letter detailing what i want to do to it to see if they approve and how it will affect my premium, but i'm still waiting on a responce.

Really?

I found Matt being the cheapest and also more agreed value.

First quote i got when i first bought the car was over 6K then later was bit over 3K so never thought about full insurance.

New quote is cheap and orgasmic..

I recomend Matt for thoes after insurance aswell, Great help.

as i said it was only a little more about $150 more than i am paying at the moment but with Vigil i also get free 24x7 roadside assitance which could be handy if my car decided to play up thats normally worth about $150 or something so it does work out cheaper :P by a bit. They are very similar style companies it seems so i am happy

I've just finished talking with Matt(_8OO5TED_),and I'm positively stoked with the service and pricing:my little beastie is now insured with Shannons! I was already on a good deal through a friend that owns an Insurance Brokers here in Canberra,but the Shannons deal,as Matt helped me with,was considerably better again! I can't recommend him highly enough. Whilst I'm sure everyone has their own circumstances(and prior convictions,LOL),and may require slightly different things from an insurer,those that haven't already talked to Shannons(and make sure you talk to Matt);you need to!

Spoke to Matt on friday so my baby's now insured with Shannons. I found Matt to be very helpfull and the cheapest out of all the insurance companies I spoke to. I highly recommend him.

Thanks Matt. Ps: I hope you're rolling in the commision and if not than you should be showing all these good comments to your boss and asking for a payrise. :D

Cheers

I mentioned i had the following :FMIC, Bilstein Suspension, Wheels, exhuast, stereo & Uni chip. I was honest with them about all the mods and they were cool with that.

    • 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?
