Yeah I would probably go with Shannons hey..... :)

Man if Shannons pay commission, you would be laughing all the way to the bank! (not that IMO you dont deserve it as how many insurance companies can you send a PM to and have a mod added ;))

you can have X number of "at fault" accidents during the year without losing your rating 1.

Typically X is 1, you may be able to pay more for more accidents though...

I think ive got it ok with Just cars... I pay $1450 with rating 1 protection..

-24yo

-rating 1

-33GTR

-~370rwkw all mods listed inc 6k wheels

-agreed value of 50k

-massive excess (maybe 2k?)

I'm 25 next year with any luck it will go down more.

age: 18

paying $3200 to Just Cars with an excess of $2200 :laugh: . Only covered for $9000 because i was dumb and told him i paid that much bahhhh (scared they wont pay me out because $9k is what is stated in the transfer papers) ! I asked him that since it was agreed value, would it be possible for me to be covered for $15000, unfortunately he said no. :whistling:

thats bullshit. if you choose to have an agreed value, you can name whatever price you want. obviously your premium goes up as the agreed value does, but its still your choice.

Yeah 8oosted expect a PM when i get my insurance renewal this year. THanks mate.

At the mo im with Justcars which have been pretty good, for the past year its only cost me $900 for rating 1 with protection for a R32 GTSt and i'm only 23.

Rhett

Just Cars "Agreed" value leaves a lot to be desired. You don't actually have to agree...

you just basically put it in on the forms online and thats the value of ur car...but the premium changes as the value does. although, when doing my quotes back in jan, i tested it and from 20k to 25k, the premium didnt move....so take a guess what value i chose...lol

im with shannons now, and we actually agreed on the value over the phone :(

That is fantastic except for the excess.....but hey.....if you loose you still end up winning.

What pees me off is if someone hits you and its not your fault ....and you claim, your still up for the excess

Does my policy have a no fault no excess ? Ill have to ask them .

I have to call Shannons now to up my Agreed value....and keep the same premium

and check their no fault policy.

Isnt that what its all about....

Wow! I wonder if anyone can beat that $3200!

I could have.

I was quoted $5000 for 12k agreed value on the GTS-R fron Just Cars.

Needless to say they have just some minor verbal abuse thrown at them when they said that

I also had some stupid quotes when I was 18 trying to insure my Escort xr3i in the UK which is just a 1.6i. 11,539pounds was the highest I was quoted for TP only!! Needless to say I didnt go with them but went with another company who quoted me 1,496pounds TP only. Both were on a car with a value of 1,100 pounds. Insurance is obsurd there. :)

    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan.
