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)

I know people who have been knocked back insurance with Shannons due to the fact they only had a carport.

Damn, some of those excesses are high :O

Mine's $500 :)

PS. It pays to be a female :wave:

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?

      R34 Series 1 And 2 Front Reo Difference?

      By LjB123 · Posted

      Awesome to know. I have a Series 1, and When pulling my front bumper off for the first time i realised my reo/crash bar was a bit worse for wear, and was going to try pick up a better one soon just so i can replace it. Someone is selling a full series 2 front bar and brackets for a decent price, so was going to probably reuse my brackets and install the new second hand reo/crash bar. I also have a genuine Altia body kit to do up, spray and put on, and not sure if that will use the series 1 or series 2 brackets for the front bumper, so having both will be handy, and knowing i can drill holes out to make stuff fit between series is also handy to know!

      R34 Series 1 And 2 Front Reo Difference?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I should also say that the while they are different the only parts that matter are the center headlight supports and center bar from S1 to S2. The center bar will work, but the S1 has holes that clips go through into the S1 bumper. So if you were super cheap you could simply drill the S2 bar. Same thing with the side/wings. They have slightly different 'clips' but can be made to work. The center headlight brackets however, cannot. This is also where the GTR differs, which has a different center bar, and different headlight supports (to either GTT system), it also has different 'wing' headlight supports which is what I am calling under the headlight. However those CAN be made to work with the GTT Reo for a GTR front bar by a small spacer and a drill/tapping a thread into the reo because the bolt positions are slightly different. So people only really need the center brackets to go between GTT S1, GTT S2, and GTR if you are happy to do some tinkering.

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      If this, then this You can't really get away without it. There are hacks that you can do in Nistune, but things are much easier with the sensor than without it. If you're not planning to Nistune the ECU, then stop right now and add it to your plan anyway, because the ECU is going to shit the bed over the missing ABS and TC computers that it expects to see, and you need Nistune to stop it chucking all its toys over the side of the crib.

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By kindaruined · Posted

      hey guys, so ive done a complete +t conversion using mostly stock parts on my rb20de neo r34.  Im wanting to know if a boost pressure sensor is needed? Seems like the engine cuts out when i try to do a pull and I have a feeling its because a boost pressure sensor is missing. I'm using a stock r34 rb25det neo ecu.
