with "agreed value" - please understand its not saying "I want it for x amount" and then they agree to it, etc

does not work that way.

agreed value means they agree to the value of vehicle for the 12 month policy and if there is a total loss, whether 2 months, 9 months 11 months and 3 days - that company will pay out that value they agreed with from start day.

others will only pay you market value, which could be 5k less at time of loss, or 15k!

Thats what agreed value is.

Dont use famous .. customer service is crap i dont think they would pay up either but i dunno! lets hope i dont crash n find out

hahaha ok than note taken!

i think they are a fairly small company, when i submitted my online quote, i got a call from this guy that does the quotes and he said he wont give me a written quote for the insurance cover, he just wants me to pay the $1360 with my credit card over the phone, send cheque out or direct deposit into their bank acct,

seems kinda dodgee, and he said hes the only person that does the quotes for the company, when he was doing my quote he asked me how much JustCars has quoted me, i told him its around $1600 and a few seconds later he gives me the figure above, seems like he just took a few hundred off the justcars quote

Famous have been around for years. I understand they are underwritten by Calliden, as are Dawes and Ryno. Calliden are really getting into the enthusiast sector of the car insurance market and are going leaps and bounds apparently. ;)

    • 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.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
