Im with Just Car... Paid $1,250 this year for full comp, including mods such as exhaust and cooler. Im 22 yrs old with no accidents etc. I got many quotes before I went with Just Car and they were the cheapest by far and were almost the only ones that would insure me. As it has been said before, if it seems to good to be true then it usually is.

Besides I would rather pay a few more hundred a year and know I am definately covered than be with a dodgy company who some how finds a clause in the paper work and makes them not liable to pay up when you have an accident or your car gets stolen.

With Shannons they don't insure anyone under 25 if their only car is a import/modified car.

Sometimes they will if you don't use it as your daily but it all depends on your circumstances they are very selective because they are a low risk insurers.

and then there's this clause (taken straight out of the PDS)

This Policy Does Not Cover:

……..loss, damage or liability and/or compensation for damage

caused whilst any Insured Vehicle is being driven by or is in

charge of any person……

….. who is charged with driving in an Unlawful Manner or

contrary to the Road Traffic Act in Your State or Territory,

resulting in loss or damage to the Insured Vehicle/s or any

Third Party property.

perhaps rules have changed since last time you spoke with them GT-R32?

Underwriting guidelines can be bent or interpreted in many different ways. Going on what you guys are saying 21-25 seems to be OK on some (all/most?) occasions, then on exceptional ones I have heard of under 21s being insured by Shannons (my mate who was a deadset car nut - he's now 23 and still with them).

I have just tried to get insurance for my R33 GTR. Im 23 in October

Shannons barred me as soon as i said i was 22

Vigil "doesnt insure Nissan Skyline GTR"

Couldn only get it insured through Just cars.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
