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?

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
