i gave them a ring, gave me the best quote i had recieved.

then they told me it was a wrong quote and it ended up being 2400...for a stock S1.

wasnt even paying that much for my old modified r32...

and they werent nice to me as well.

but hope all ends up being good for you, i have been dicked around by insurance companies so many times...

and the quote u got, was pretty much exactly the same as what i got. how old are you?

I'm 26 years old, and they gave me 65% no claim, with lifetime protection. Like I said, shannons was cheapest originally, but they had stupid restrictions (and do with anyone) like they go door knocking if your car is stolen around your neighbourhood to see if anyone has seen the car parked on street or in the driveway, and don't pay out if anyone has.. (direct from the shannons rep)

they said that they will insure a s2 99 but not a 2000. I expaned to them that they are the same car, but that didnt seem to matter as apparently there are not enough s2 2000 models in Australia for there requirements. Just cars quoted me $1158 so i guess i will be going with them.

Exactly the same thing happened to me when I got mine in December. /cry

Cant see that stacking up too well if you dispute it.

Yeah, I don't think my neighbours would be too credible or even willing to testify to something that bizarre... Sounds like an urban legend to me. I'm with Shannons and I'm happy. They gave me a better price on my second car than my insurance broker could get, so they are actually saving me money from that point of view.

I have to say, I'm happy with Shannons so far (thanks to _8OO5TED_), but it would be interesting to see a comparison of how much the different insurance companies try to "get out of paying up". I was under the impression that Shannons were good in this situation - they payed up more than the others, but if they try and get ouf of paying because of some dumb loopholes here and there, that kinds sucks..

GIO would not insure my stagea as i had imported it myself via J-Spec. I could not convince him that it was no different to a car from a dealer as still complianced the same way. I think they are still figuring out what the hell they are doing :)

Shannons were easy, $1180 a year with 24yo missus listed for a 1997 S1 at $15k agreed value.

Still paying $930 per year through Just Car for a '97 S1 at agreed value of $20,000 all mods listed and rating 1 protection. Have been paying that for a couple of years now.

After hearing what most of said about GIO I think I'll give them another year to sort their shit out and might give them a call.....I tried to call shannons when I first bought my stagea and they were rude pricks and didn't want anything to do with imports at the time. Even though they seem to now Just Cars have always been helpful and polite and so far to date I've got no complaints about the service.

I didn't got to GIO but I got a quote from Shannons.. $650/year with CAMS liscence discount for agreed value $15,000 (I paid 13k for mine).

So if anyone else has CAMS Competition Liscence it is worth giving Shannons a call and see what saving you can get. A S2 Cams Licsence is only $85 a year.

I insured my 1984 Works Opel Kadett GSi Rally Car for $499 agrred value $15000 and I automatically get the car back (what is left of it) if it is destroyed or damaged beyond repair... that is given back .. I don't have to buy it back. Of course it is only insured for road use and parked at home.... not on the track :)

yeah i will give shannons a go next week as i am sick of trying to get mine insured through gio. Won't insure serries 2, won't insure factory manual. I even tried telling them i did a manual convestion, that worked but they won't insure the s2 front end. Won't insure a RS Four "S" gio just keep giving me the run around and passing me on then sorry your motor vehicle isn't on our list. (f@#$ em) they shit me no end :D .

i hate having to have inshurance but you neeed it. :P

man i hat nescary evil they prey on your mistakes like vultures

i pay $1050 a year with Shannons for 97 s1 insured value of $14k. I am 29 no accidents or fines and 2 other cars with Shannons. I have asked several times but they say they cannot do any better and said that they normall do not insure my car unless it is garaged (it is under a carport most of the time)

It seems that most people who are younger with higher value cars are paying less. Anyone here work for Shannons who can sort these f**kers out!

8005TED works for shannons last time i spoke to him he was very helpful and unfortunately i couldnt insure my gto with them because its not in an enclosed garage :) damn having too many decent cars and a 2 car garage sucks bigtime :D

try QBE insurance if your in WA as they did a great value on my gto (which i specified) and cheap premium as well.

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
