Franky, why did Shannons 'pull the plug'?

just out of nowhere you got a letter saying they won't cover you any more? if so, what was their reasoning?

i got a speeding ticket and lost four points last year...

they would not renew the policy any more....according to this woman on the phone, i am a dangerous driver to the rest of the community...

just cars is about 600 dollars cheaper, but only agree to insure mine for 43gs..while shannons used to insure mine for 46gs...

never made a claim, never had anything...i should be on rating 1 now as well...

they said once i turn 25 and been clean for a while, i can call them back...i doubt that will ever happen...

remind you i had three policies with them at the same time...now i have cancelled them all...

That he told them the truth and they accepted that? Nothing strange there..

What is strange, and unacceptable is the large variation on insurance quotes BY THE SAME PERSON for the SAME CAR merely due to the time a person called. I don't even know whether that is legal..

And which company you basing this on?

Can you elaborate on that please?

Most of them, my own experiences with justcar, and pretty much a post in every insurance thread stating the wide variation people get when they speak to insurance company. "Sorry we can't insure you" or "to insure will cost you $xx"... person calls back, speaks to somebody else "sure we can insure you, it's $yy".

It's like if I walked into a shop and asked for a loaf of bread, and was given 3 different prices depending on which person was behind the counter.

It is probably not illegal, but just silly..

as I have posted MANY times - each person has their OWN different risk

Alot of factors determine peoples premiums

I can garuntee that if you rang the same company, different days with same situiations - you'll get same price

but comparing you and me for example - is like comparing an xbox 360 game to a commodore 64 game

MASSIVE difference!

Shannons will insure under 25's....

i'm insured with them for agreed value, with all my mods, and i'm 23

hi there.. how did u get shannons to insure you? when i tried to get my 34 under them.. the guy on de phone said that they don't cover imports n i have to call just cars or young n cool..

cheers

hahahaha

you sure it was that they said?

man - everyone seems to have a bad story here!

*grabs another beer*

traman18 - please read post 46 - just 4 posts up

yes sire, but I had asked people for an average price. goes without saying that it will vary, depend on various factors, but an average price wouldnt hurt... would it?

I did find today tho that RAA in SA have a division that cover "normally uninsurable cars" but its only open to SA residents. Dore underwriting cover imports too but want $2900....hahahahaha that more then double what i pay now

interesting....

how long between losing the points and getting the letter saying they won't insure you any more?

was your insurance up for renewal when you got the letter?

I signed up with Justcars and they gave me a rating 1 even though i probably should have been on rating 6. Been driving for over 5 years so they told me they would be glad to give me a rating one since i've been dringing so long. They never mentioned anything about speedding fine even though i have a few; havent had any for over 2 and half years but anyway they never mentioned if i had any. This is for a stock 97 skyline r33 gtst. I'm 23. Insured for $14k. Insurance cost me under $1200

Five years! Wow, that is a long time! :)

Read your agreement - the onus is on you to declare. They will happily take your money until you have to make a claim. Then they'll investigate, find your fines and decline your cover.

its about a few months...

and yes as the renewal letter came in, i received a call at mean time telling me they are unable to renew my GTR's policy. but i was more than welcome to insure my camry and my property with them

its all history now...just cars is as good...

this is the main reason why i wanna sel my car and just buy a normal car to drive around...

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
