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.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By MBS206 · Posted

      You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
