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. :)

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.

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.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
