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?:)

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
