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

Couldn only get it insured through Just cars.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
