All,

Thought i would give my 2 cents worth.

I am with just cars with 60%NCB full comp 24yo for just under 2k and covered with all mods.

Dont know why i got a 60% NCB as i was only insured with them 3rd party on a VLT 1 year before i got my Line.

cheers,

cheers to mrbenno for posting up about the places he called. i normally dont check this area but am glad i did.

Called up vigils and the premium is like $30 more than i was paying with Just Cars however my excess has come from $2000 down to $1000 so i figured i had may as well change. So i am much happier now well i will be if i have an accident anyways :D other good thing was the agreed value, free 24x7 road side assistance and all my mods are covered (Note they must be legal).

One other thing is anyone actually insured by Vigil i wouldnt mind hearing some feedback. The customer service seems good the 24x7 road side assistance is a bonus only downside was having to wait on phone for a good 10 minutes but i guess thats a good sign they are busy ;)

mrbenno, I think I spoke to you today. It's Matt, I work for Shannons :D

PM me if you need any more assistance, happy to help!

Hi Matt,

Thanks for your call, I have not received anything in the mail from Vigil so I will most likely be insuring through Shannon's some time this week. The service from Shannon's has been good so far, less on hold times then with Vigil and you actually send out paperwork for insurance, I have recieved no paperwork and no phone calls from Vigil regarding my apparent insurance cover.

I just spent the last 15 mins on hold and finally got through to Vigil, they are resending my insurance paperwork now, damn postal service!

If I do not receive my papers by friday then I will be calling you back, thanks Matt.

In regards to a previous posted question, Vigil charge no extra to pay by the month.

I found the same i was on hold for a good 10 minutes or so each time i called them. However they did call me back when i first requested a quote within about 4 business hours which i thought was good.

Also i was told it does cost extra to pay by the month maybe just double check that

It's sort of hard to say as I guess anything that is not engineered is probably illegal however I think they mean obvious type things eg lowered more than 10cm from the ground, exhaust note more than 100db's or whatever it is... as I said most things probably are however I guess in most cases common sense should tell you if its illegal or not

Hey guys,

Does anyone know what insurance companies classify as illegal mods???

Will this cancel your insurance if they are on the vehicle??

thanks guys :)

its not up to an insurance company to tell you if your mods are illegal, thats up to the owner of the vehicle to decide etc etc.

Working for Shannons, I can tell you that we will list all your mods on the policy and do state in our policy wording that we will cover all legal modifications.

If you have illegal modifications fitted to your car, and your have an accident/make a claim, as long as the 'illegal' modification was not the direct cause or reason for the claim, then you will be paid out etc etc.

We have many highly modified imports with us, including a few from SAU too :)

Got a quote from Shannons insurance & spoke to _8OO5TED_ (Matt- Fantastic bloke). They are definately the best for me. Just over $1600 per year for my modified R32GTR with an agreed value of $29k. Pay by the month with all the mods listed. Cant thank Shannons & Matt enough!!!. :starwars:

    • I am getting the same issue. Did you resolve it? I just got it after installing my new super coppermix and literally the same issue, new fork, new 18mm carrier, release bearing that came with the kit and replicated the exact same sound. 
    • If you like - I have the STL files so I can email em. There's a couple of gotchas (i.e the holes are not threaded so you might need/will need) to utilize some M3 melt-in threads for some of the points. However if you want to be super accurate, and are willing to remove your calipers and your SHOCKS it's a really good tool. You also might need to scale the part that measures the tyre width a bit wider. It defaults to a 7.5in tyre and I mean who is running that. Luckily with the magic of CAD this is very easy to rescale.
    • jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed
    • In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.
    • So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.
