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

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
