Ryno also won't insure in a double security gated basement carpark and would only give me their value of the car.

I actually had the same thing Daniel with the price matching. When I asked why it had gone up $200 in a year and I explained I had been a good customer, was that THE best they could do, the guy blamed the computer! "Computer says this, we have to do this" :wub: I explained I would have to look elsewhere and still nothing, quite surprising I thought. :)

Hey adz did you deal with anyone in particular? or just call up?

Aaron

We had 3 guys from Shannons at the meeting on tuesday night..All good guys :)

Ring Shannons on 134646 and ask to speak to Xavier,Nick or Vince tell them your with SAUvic

They will look after you..

Yeah I just called and I spoke to one of the guys there, he was a top guy and even offered me a cover note. I was really impressed. I've rung them in previous years and not gotten the best reception but they were VERY warm this time. How this for gold too, the premium was MORE expensive with Just cars! I just checked my renewal last night. Shannon's is $50 cheaper, now I want to call Just Cars and ask them to drop it and when they so no I'll tell them to blow it out their asses :ninja:

Adz mate, don't even stay with Just Rip-Offs if they offer you like $50 cheaper. Your repairer, excess, features with shannons are waaaaay better.

Damn it, so there are new SAU Vic shannons people!

Can you call outside a renewal time and ask to see if anything can be "tweaked"? :ninja:

Not quite mate. We had 3 people from Shannons speak at the meeting on Tuesday but they were more generic Shannons than SAU reps at Shannons. The guys knew their cars but they are not like Matt (B00sted) was as a forum user and employee.

Cams licence gets a discount as does multi car. :)

Just got my renewal notice from Just cars - not happy at all!

This would have been my fifth year of insurance with them with my R32 gtst, but my insurance has gone up this year by $70.

The last four years were:

$1700

$1200

$950

$930

And now they slug me $998 again! So I've paid them close to $5000 over the last four years, never had a claim, and I'm now 25 and they INCREASE my premium. What a joke... They even decreased the agreed value by $1000 since last year.

i just can't work out way my premium went up. I'll be giving shannons a call definately, although even with Matt's help last year they couldnt match the just cars price.

I'm with shannons, agreed value of my r33 of 30k for $800 premium and 600 excess when i have my other car insured with them also...best deal!

did you go through shannpn with one of the 3 guys mentioned on the ealier posts? Or you went with whoever picked up the call?

Oh well once again Shannons can't match my just cars quote... they are $200 more expensive. Spoke to Xavier as recommended, he was very helpful but unfortunately couldn't get the price I was after.

However, their excess is only $500, whereas just cars is $1500.

But I don't plan on making a claim (no one ever does I guess).

It's worth noting for those comparing their quoted premium to yours, people should also take into consideration that you are 30 years old.. guys in early or mid 20's may not get such a good deal.

so you'd rather pay $200 less for inferior coverage, with the chance of paying $1k more in excess....

Shannons might be $200 more, but I'd pay that for choice of repairer alone.

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
