i reckon with these insurers, if u give them competition to deal with, they'll match the offer at least. Like im currently with just cars for my r33 gtst and i only have 3rd party which costs 600 dollars. I rang ryno and they offered 1600 for full comp. I rang justcars and they said that they could do full comp for me for 1700 but only for an agreed value of $8000, cos thats what i told them i bought it for :P So i told them that i wanted to cancel my 3rd party because if i was going to get comprehsnive cover, i wanted to cover it for at least market value. So they got back to me and said they could do full comp for an agreed value of $15000 at the same premium of $1700. Even though ryno is still cheaper id rather stay with just cars purely based on reputation.

..so what's your point from this?

Shannons act as an agent for Australian Alliance Insurance (but are wholly owned by them), it is often the way the insurance world works. No trouble at all, nothing wrong with legal agreements!

ETA: Prior to being bought out Shannons acted in the same way the 'smaller' ones do. It is common and nothing to worry about.

GT-R32 - well,

its very similar mate!

windscreen, usage policies, ncb etc etc - very similar to shannons!

Oh yes, shop around, but Im happy where I am :cheers:

Yep, very similar I agree. Certainly a case of much of a muchness. Definitely simply a case of shop around, but don't be nervous if you haven't heard of them from TV or 'everyone' being insured through them is my point. :D

Seems stupidly cheep! I am actually a bit worried! I mean Shannons was $1750 and I thought that was cheap!

Would love to know if anyone has claimed with them.

I called them for a quote, left my phone number and was told i would get a call back later that afternoon..

It has been days since then and still no call. Had that experience with Famous Classic a couple of times too, and i have a policy with them. Guess you cant expect too much from smaller companies!

  • 5 weeks later...

Ok, just received my Just car renawal notice:

They want:

$902 - agreed value $23800 - excess $400

Got a quote from Ryno few weeks ago:

$976 - agreed value $37000 - excess $500

I'm about to go pay a visit to Ryno coz they're at Coopers Plains, just 15 mins from where I live to see if they can tweak their premium a bit. Ryno allows you to pay by the month at no extra cost has won me. Everything else seems similar to Just cars including mods etc...

Which would you choose if you were me?

I had an awesome quote back from ryno but I'm just not 100% convinced yet. You know about the old saying...... "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is !!"

I've been screwed over by quite a few companies lately and am very hesitant to jump into anything now days. The problem is, if a company does take your money and then defaults on their agreement, most people don't have the $'s to fight the company in court. I'm not saying that Ryno fits in this category but I'd like to see if they're around in another year's time and if they have lots of happy clients. :huh:

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...

All insurance companies have brokers. JustCars is a broker... it gives you no real significant advantage to have them owned by the actual insurance company apart from the name. Legally they're seperate entities anyway so if Just Cars goes bust it's the same as Ryno going bust - their underwriting insurance company ain't necessarily comin to the rescue.

Very true. I have now swapped ALL of my car policies (3 at the moment) to Ryno. They are very very cheap!

Did you get a further discount with Ryno for having more then one car with them?

Do they insure NORMAL cars like civics (non modified)?

I think they do normal cars as long as you have something else with them? Or even demonstrate you are a car person even? Dunno, give them a call I would say.

Same, must be busy!

i applied for an online quote and got declined... received this in my email.... "Unfortunately on this occasion we are unable to offer you a quotation as the details you have submitted do not meet our mimimum underwiting guidelines." is there a minimum requirement thing?

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
