Hi Guys,

Just looked at my latest insurance renewal... I noticed the 6mth option is now WAY more than the 12mths.

$150 more - after speak to JC, they told me it was a new 'administration fee'.

I can't believe they can charge $150 for this... but they are an insurnance company I surpose.

Just a warming for you all.

To give you an idea, with the cef its costing me $1250 or so a year, with an agreed value of $15k, ALL mods listed, $900 excess, and Im 22, with not the best driving history (far from the worst too). That and its pay by the month with no extra, and one free pain of glass each year. Its a damn good policy.

Another vote for Vigil or Shannons.

I am with Shannons, pay by the month.

Costs me $125.39 per month. Agreed value of $35k which was how much Shannons said my car is worth. I listed every single mod too and they were cool with it. $500 excess, 1 free glass per year, choice of repairer, option to buy back the wreck.

yeah each day that goes by i get more and more pissed off with justcar

they handed me a rating 1 and cheap excess per year and i thought all was good

.... until shit actually happened to my car, and it's been an utter nightmare to get these things fixed and back to pristeen condition

i think i'll be switching to shannons when i can afford it in the new year, and god knows why i didn't pick them in the first place =/

I thought shannons didn't insure your car unless you had a garage? A friend tried, and they knocking him back.

Seems a little silly to me, seeing as I don't know how ANY car could get stolen from a locked garage without more effort than it was worth!

We got a carport, and they were fine with that.

Hey Chris

My insurance premium went up 4% this year and the cars aggreed value went down 7%...

So i argued til I was blue in the face. But i ended up going through them again as Shannons were way to expensive for me and virgil never got back to me...

Famous were alright until i started talking about high mount turbos... :laugh:

Do you HAVE to be over 25 to go with Shannons?

As above man, just call them they will do under 25s. I think they dont like under 21s tho...

And Col, no word of a lie, justcars gave me a quote of $1260 or something for an 'agreed' value of $11k with a rating one. They wouldnt budge either way, and the excess was $1500 or something.

Shannons, also with a rating one (that took a lot of convincing pulled out the defencive driving instructor thing etc about 5 times) were CHEAPER with the agreed $15k value. Id be calling them back hey, and talking to them a little more.

Hell Id just pay the extra money, the policy is that much better. But thats me.

Cool, I'm 21 so that should be good. I'm about half way through my current insurance, so I'll probably wait till thats coming up.

(Justcar $1300 p/a covering $15500 with a $1400 excess)

Here's where I'm at...

R34 GTT - yr 2000, with a few minor mods

Agreed Value - $35000 - youngest driver is me 37 - Rating 1

Just Cars $1025 - $400 excess

Shannon $1208 - $500 excess

Vigil $1250 - $500 excess

Shannon & Vigil said the car MUST be garaged - no carports (lucky I have one of each)

I wasn't that impressed with either Shannon or Vigil, but that's just the person on the phone.

Now the big question...

is Shannon $200 per year better than Just Cars?

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
