it's not the under 25 part that's a problem (well it may be part of it). it's the usage. shanons don't cover daily drivers. they are more geared towards 'weekend cars'.

and I would go with the $14K from just cars. $14K and you could pretty much have your pick of 33 GTSTs on the market.

I think Just Cars would make decisions based on your driving record. I am only 23 and I got a S1 GTST 1995 model and they insurered me for nearly 18k on that car. But at the same time I have not previous record of speeding etc so that might have played a part in my agreed value.

PS the car is basically stock so thats fairly good I think.

Did you try suncorp as mentioned on the first page? We have our 33 + the wrx through them.. insure all mods. I directed a friend there the other day and I swear they do 21 and older... (he is 19/20) .......... 131155.

What shannons told me was that they dont cover daily drivers under 25 with skylines

I don't think that that's a hard and fast underwriting rule, because I got my insurance with Shannons at 21 (modded R33) and it's a daily (which is listed on the policy). Also I got my renewal letter in the mail last week, so they must still be happy enough to keep me on (now 22). Anyway I'd keep trying with different phone operators, you might get lucky - don't forget to highlight to them what an enthusiast you are (car clubs, magazines, events, forums etc). Might not hurt to see if you can find a direct contact thru the forums, too, as they might be able to help you out...

I just called Shannons back and they said that the no under 25's as well as daily driving was bought in 2 weeks ago.....i begged and pleaded but without any success.

Tell Just cars they can keep their blue undies :)

But on a serious note, sounds like a case of beggars can't be choosers at the moment. Best bet would be to try and speak with someone at justcars and try and negotiate a higher agreed value in return for a higher premium.

Hahaha, you got jibbed hard then man. I rang them up, I got a quote which was FAR better than justcars, they also had a FULL list of mods emailed to them. Then I got all the stuff in the mail, read that. Rang them back. Asked for the agreed vaule, got that sorted. Then I pleaded with them to make me rating 1 as I am a defensive driving instructor. They said no, so I asked again. He went to his boss, then they gave me rating 1 with a saving of $300 a year. That and they know the car is in a carport not a garage, and its driven every day.

Dude, ring them back up again.

Yep give Ryno a try.

I was looking for quotes for my V35 and they were the best by about $1000.

I was a bit worried cause there small, but a guy on LS1.com is going through a claim with them, and is nothing but rapt with the service.

On a side note, I lost it at Shannons yesterday. Cause the V35's are still quite new here, I had to go through a "special" quote, and in the end they tried to tell me that the agrred price they can insure me for was the FOB price of the car in Japan. That's almost 20k less than what it would cost me to replace the car should anything happen.

Stoked to hear about ryno. I have a lot of cars with them and full faith in their claims service but to actually hear the same is always better! In the end they have a great policy, are bound by the same laws and it is a company that only seems to be run by enthusiasts so it can't be anything but good you'd think.

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
