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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
