Can anyone tell me who is the person to contact from shannons on here my car arrives in 2 weeks and i want to insure it very shortly have sent pm's to boosted and gtr soul who i was told were the guys to talk to but have had no reply in over a fortnight

any help much appreciated

can anyone tell me who to contact for an online quote? its a bit hard for phone at the moment as im overseas. I'm having a hard time getting agreed value and additionally because my car is back in melb its not insured and registered (cancelled those before i left). JCI and shannons wont give quotes through email etc. but dont seem to give agreed value if i change the options around a bit to say its already registered.

Hopefully you get a response, otherwise I can dig out an email address for a contact I used there - except it's at work. I think his name was Brendan?

Emails are better than speaking over the phone for making a contract - it's all recorded as it went. Although domestic undwriters probably prefer to know who they are speaking to, hence the phone thing.

bugger.. got the shannons renewal today and it looks like the r32 agreed value dropped quite a lot :D like 1.5 or maybe 2k (will have to dbl check)

(although the premium dropped around $40 a month which is good, possibly 'no claim' & age related)

thanks a lot gtr-32 mate, its too hard for me to go by phone just for quotes, obviously ill make the effort to wake up in middle of the night if its to arrange a contract or something, but to go around rining around for quotes its a bit hard. ill email the address u gave me.

cheers mate.

Two40,

Just out of curiosity, does your Famous policy cover you as a daily driver, or is it "weekend only" like Shannon's ? I'm in Sydney, rating 1 (70% NCB), low-risk postcode, over 30 & my best quote has been $2100 from Suncorp-Metway - and the car is totally stock !!

Also do they have the "10yr old" clause - where if your car is more than 10yo whilst under the policy, said policy then becomes null & void ? (beware of this trap !).

Forgive my interrogative style, but usually when something appears too good to be true it often is.

Cheers.

OUCH! I got quoted $1099 for a GTS-t by JustCar (Im 25)

today i called every insurance company conceivable. None would cover me except for just car. my own fault though, i only had my licenbce for a year and ive lost it for 3 months of that :P and in the same accident had a $15,000 claim. some of them just didnt cover imports, some didnt cover young drivers, some didnt cover young people in turboas and the rest combinations of those. and the ones that probably would of covered me were dettered by my accident history. ( only the one ) so now im stuck with a $2639 premium and a $2500 excess:'(

heres hoping i dont have any accidents lol

Wtf.

I've had my license for 5 months (haha) and no claims or fines (as you'd assume @ 5 months) and my premium WAS $2800 but was raised to $3500 because the car is financed.

God damn Just Cars being the only ones that'll insure an 18yr old.

For a R33 GTR with minor mods, i found JCI to be the cheapest for my situtation.

21 y.o. male

Location: Bankstown/Yagoona area

Daily car

Private use

No Claim Bonus 60+%

No claims or thefts and no suspensions

Obtained licence in 2002

Amount covered $30,000

Premium Comprehensive $2,036

Excesses

Standard $600

Plus Vehicle $1,000

Age Excesses

Male Drivers Aged 16 - 21 $700

Excess is abit steep, but the premium is what i found to be fairly cheaper then the other quotes ive received.

lower premium is more important to me, cos even though thats why we get iunsurance no one plans on having a major accident, so hopefully i will never need to claim, therefore pay my excess :unsure:

Big props to GTRSOUL!

He gave me a call in under 2 minutes after receiving a PM with my contact details, and was working on a deal for me right away!

Customer service A++

^_^

P.S. Sorry I took so long to post hehe

www.justcarinsurance.com.au

lol thanks but i already know that, that wasn't my dilema

i emailed admin@justcarsinsurance and got a message back after 1 week saying the message wasn't delivered. so the address is right but yeh =/

Their website just says no to under 20's, so give em' a call.

If my car wasn't financed I wouldn't bother with comprehensive right now, at 3.5k its almost 1/4 what I am paying for the car.

yeh but what if car gets written off ? i know no one plans on it but no one is phsycic :laugh:

    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
    • One other thing to mention from my car before we reassemble and refill. Per that earlier diagram,   There should be 2x B length (40mm) and 6x C length (54mm). So I had incorrectly removed one extra bolt, which I assume was 40mm, but even so I have 4x B and 5x C.  Either, the factory made an assembly error (very unlikely), or someone had been in there before me. I vote for the latter because the TCM part number doesn't match my build date, I suspect the TCM was changed under warranty. This indeed led to much unbolting, rebolting, checking, measuring and swearing under the car.... In the end I left out 1x B bolt and put in a 54mm M6 bolt I already had to make sure it was all correct
    • A couple of notes about the TCM. Firstly, it is integrated into the valve body. If you need to replace the TCM for any reason you are following the procedure above The seppos say these fail all the time. I haven't seen or heard of one on here or locally, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Finally, Ecutek are now offering tuning for the 7 speed TCM. It is basically like ECU tuning in that you have to buy a license for the computer, and then known parameters can be reset. This is all very new and at the moment they are focussing on more aggressive gear holding in sports or sports+ mode, 2 gear launches for drag racing etc. It doesn't seem to affect shift speed like you can on some transmissions. Importantly for me, by having controllable shift points you can now raise the shift point as well as the ECU rev limit, together allowing it to rev a little higher when that is useful. In manual mode, my car shifts up automatically regardless of what I do which is good (because I don't have to worry about it) but bad (because I can't choose to rev a little higher when convenient).  TCMs can only be tuned from late 2016 onwards, and mine is apparently not one of those although the car build date was August 2016 (presumably a batch of ADM cars were done together, so this will probably be the situation for most ADM cars). No idea about JDM cars, and I'm looking into importing a later model valve body I can swap in. This is the top of my TCM A couple of numbers but no part number. Amayama can't find my specific car but it does say the following for Asia-RHD (interestingly, all out of stock....): So it looks like programable TCM are probably post September 2018 for "Asia RHD". When I read my part number out from Ecutek it was 31705-75X6D which did not match Amayama for my build date (Aug-2016)
