I'd like to see how a car gets stolen from a locked garage with immoboliser :P no wonder the premiums are low

LOL little do you know. Its called a flat bed truck and a bolt cutter.

I have a family friend who lost a HSV limited edition. It was locked in a garage in Mosman with alarm, house alarm, back to base monitoring etc. They still got it.

But also, how often do cars get stolen at home, its usually when you are out and about, shopping centres and so forth right?

And has anyone had experience wiht claims? low premiums are great, but no point paying premiums when they wont pay out

There is enough info around other forums to support Ryno for great claims service. I am now completely confident in them.

Well, after Shannons just put my Limited Use premium up 10% to >$1,600 I have decided to see what Ryno can offer, their PDS looks almost identical to Shannons, only difference is they showed my market value of my car at $24,000 so that's great!!..

Will let people know how I go..

Interesting.. There isn't anything about you that may cause them to decline? Is it parked in a garage? Should be someone else better than justcars out there for you..

i quoted as the car to be daily used. thats an online quote anyway. took them one and a half weeks later to reply with "NO" . Ridiculous

Why do insure companies only insure a skyline unless it's stored in a locked garage if that is the case?

Little more to that to get into the average garage.. and unless the garage was a fair way away from your room, I think you may just hear a large truck pulling up and breaking into your garage, etc. And if you've got a little more than a $2 immoboliser, they have a tilt feature built in as well.

Basically the only insurer that will insure your car unless it's in a locked garage is Just Car. My other car which is worth market value a lot more than the skyline is parked outside and could get stolen much easier. Insurance is about half the skyline.

I just think it's b.s. that they use 'no garage' as an excuse to not insure you.. The ones that do will take almost the same money, but the odds of it getting stolen from a locked garage, with an alarm, are probably tiny.

pros.. pros don't steal skylines... they're not worth enough, and neither are the parts anymore.

I guess its "their" guidelines and rules and thats why most of these companies ARE doing successful business.

Simple really.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
