Its that time of the year again to renew my car insurance, i got my renew letter from JustCar and was quoted $1595 for full comp which is no difference to last years,

i was thinking of switching over to young and cool insurance, is anyone with them? or know people who has dealt with them before? they seem like a really small company and i had a look on their website, one section that put me off is the fact that if you ever need to do a claim you have to mail the claim form to them, you cant do it over the phone or on the net.

Is there any other companies i can try?

I noticed on shannons you have to be over 25 to insure with them, since when i try to do an online quote and as soon as i put my age in it tells me they cannot insure me.

Im 24 btw

cheers

thats an expensive quote from just car ? :D

im 22 and have full comp with just car for $1100 a year and im driving a '96 s2 gts-t with quite a few mods (which i declared to Just Car and they are all covered...)

although i do have the benefit of getting automatic rating 1 since ive been driving for over 5 years and havent had an accident.. still, i'd be calling them and asking if they cant do a better deal for you..

Both Shannons & Just Car have the same underwriter for their policies hence Shannons will never be cheaper than Just Car, the only difference is that Shannons can do an agreed value. However "Agreed value" is a bit of a mis-nomer with Shannons, I just phoned them to try and insure my R32 GTST for $25K and they said all they can do is a max. of $18K on an R32.

Just Cars quote for my first GTS25T was over 2k and Shannons did it for 900 with the exact same info. I'm not sure how that works and not saying you arew wrong, just relaying my experiences with the two.

I'd say speak with them both and see how you go.

Woa, that's a bit much! I'll happily get a scan of my policy when I'm home tonight if you need proof. From what I've heard with my mates trying to go through Shannons, you get shafted if you're young. Seriously though, 3k is a joke!

Gotta make sure u set the date as any date, because default on the search form is last 30 days

Ne wa, i just got my insurance renewal and i'm very happy, it dropped from 1900-1450, on account of me now being a rating 3. DO you have a bad driving record?

Edit: im also with justcar

thats why i replied - cause its you lot who have no idea - well, minority anyway.

i just got a quote from famous insurance for $1360 with $1500 excess which sounds pretty good,

but im not sure how easy they are to deal with when you need to do a claim, anyone got any experiences dealing with famous?

pfft. Insurance is based on risk; Shannon's won't insure a business-registered car and JC love it.

IME for the same vehicle but for private registration Shannon's has always been cheaper and they have

always been willing to insure for more (replacement-value, anyone?:)

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
