I recently heard about this Ryno Insurance company from a mate of mine who owns a wrx and rekons most of the forum he visits uses this insurance company.

I decided to get an online quote and they offer a really good deal, alot better than my current insurer just car.

Their comprehensive is cheaper and their agreed value on my car is REALLY good.

Im just wondering if anyone here is with them or knows of them? How good are they really, and is it worth switching to them.

I havent heard of them before, but they're underwritten by Calliden, which is a pretty big company. I'm pretty sure they're on the ASX. They offer agreed value, choice of repairer, premiums by installments, free windshield etc, so looks good.

i am with them... i signed up when they were very first starting up maybe 2 - 3 months ago... customer service was pretty shit house at first i had so many drama's getting my policy together but the premium + excess i was offered i could not pass up they beat my previous insurace quote by about $500 which is massive... they also did my motorbike which shannons would do due to being on my L's

To an extent i can deal with a little worse customer service for $500 less :yes:

almost identical policy to shannons it seems. i guess they are following the lead of a proven winner :P

Remember, you get what you pay for.

I still feel that general insurance prices are BS i was paying close to $1700 with Shannons and Vigile before i went across to Ryno which i was offered same coverage for only $1200 yes i had to put up with multiple policy screw ups but i feel that most of it was the fact that they were literally setting up when i joined (didnt do alot for the confidence)...

If anyone does sign up with them and turns out they have to put in claim can you please pm as to how well it goes as in customer service, time it took etc as this is the only concern i have due to them being so new... i may be paying alot less for a premium but if something goes wrong i don't want to have to jump through hoops to get the issue resolved.

wtf..thats allot cheaper..at minimum i would expect them to be $500 cheaper for me to insure the car if they are quouting what u say their quoteing.

And im spewing because if i had have found out about these guys before i renewed my insureance with just car late last year i would have been persueded to go with them insted of the latter.

grrr..

exact copy of shannons?

Haha, the market is competitive. None 'copies' one another per se. Ryno offer policy benefits Shannons don't, but I can't think of any policy benefits Shannons offers and Ryno don't...

For Australian enthusiast/classic insurance market -

Biggest/mass marketed name in the business: Shannons.

Best price/policy ratio in the business: Ryno.

Depends if you want talk advertised hype or awesome value... Which certainly not a criticism of Shannons, who have done great things for me at claim time and I am still with them for some vehicles, as much as it is a positive of Ryno's and me preferring to keep the dollars in my pocket while still getting a good policy.

Shop around is the best advice I can give. :thumbsup:

Fellas,

I rang them for a quote... to be honest, I am a bit nervous as they are pretty small... not very well known and what's more are based in only 1 state - QLD...so yeah... did some research....and found that these guys are actually only the broker that deals with Caliden Underwriting NOT and insurance company in their own right... in other words, these guys refer business to Caliden and acts on behalf of the client...

Up to you guys, but I rather stick to the THIRD PARTY FIRE AND THEFT policy with JUST CARS (owned by AAMI) and know that if a claim was to happen - at least there's some weight behind it...but that's just me... perhaps those that have had claims with Ryno can provide a testimony...

Cheers, :P

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
