Gidday,

A quick search for insurance would've found the following threads:

I am with shannons, mainly because at the time a SAu member was getting great deals on insurance for SAu members.

Have fun reading :P

I had to go through Just Cars as they were the only ones that would cover me. I have never had a car insured before (due to only ever driving bunky's worth $1000 and less ;) ) and I am pretty sure I got a fairly decent deal. I have found them quite nice to deal with too, but I have not made any claims so that may change....

I know 2 people who have made claims with Just Cars and let me tell you right now both claims were NOT handled well............. One was a complete write off and they didnt want to pay for extra things that the owner HAD TOLD them about and was on the policy ............. PM 666DAN and ask him about it if you want to.

I pay $70/mth with agreed value of $30k, Rating 1, with Shannons.

yea im thru just cars too, but heaps of cars get stolen each week around cessnock so i think it has something to do with that, and its under a huge carport, not a garage

my friend bought a R32 gtst was one of the nicest R32's i'd seen and he have lost his license twice had 3 previous claims for crashes and stolen cars, VT's VN's VP's etc...

he got insurance for $1400 thru elders, he thought he was the man, i felt ripped off, but then one day he went blasting thru a give way hit a 4WD and rolled the 4WD which had a small baby inside, this was about 3 weeks after he bought it.

he rang elders the other day looking to insure another R32 he was going to buy, they want to charge him $5500 now... haha

Only problem with shannons is you have to be 25 or older to get insurance with them, which sucks completely.

Now that i am off my P's and over 21 and the fact that i have never had an accident nor had a speeding fine or anything like that of the sort, i thought it would have been easier for me to get full comp insurance.

But clearly it is not the case

i was 21 when i first insured my stag with shannons

im 25 maximum no claim bonus and i pay $1800 with an agreed value of $15,000 through Shannons. registered as a business vehicle... I didnt think it was the most reasonable figure, I also have a perfect driving record and the car is garaged in a pretty good area.

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
