Just Cars said they would insure it but wouldn't pay it out if I have an accident because the mods are not "road legal" in SA.

And your current isurance company will probably do the same if they get a chance.

If you have a good driving record, aren't too young (they will NOT insure under 20yrs) and are a dedicated enthusiast then I would be giving Ryno Insurance a look.

www.rynoinsurance.com.au

They are much like Shannons in that they cater to the enthusiast market, however, I have found them to be much better priced without suffering a lack of quality of service, options, or coverage - and their underwriter has recently posted better figures than Shannons (ie they are as safe as any insurance company can be).

As I posted earlier in this thread, I have agreed value of $38,000 (modified '94 R33 GTS25t), specific modifications are list in my policy, free windscreen coverage, my choice of repairer (any one I want), pay by the month with zero extra charges, and my premium is just over $900*

* Note: I'm 34yrs old and have 'low use' noted on my policy (I do under 5,000klms per year - if that).

I know of a few people that have had to make a claim on their Ryno policy... and not one complaint.

yeah i paid 19 000 for my r33 gts-s series 1. just car insured me for 12 900. my mods alone would be worth 30g's new. i got a quote for a pretty much standard series 2 1997 and they were going to insure me for 17 200. i guess i will have to be extra carefull not to write it off :)

just cars doesn't seem to make much sense then, my 93 r33 gtst agreed value is $15,000. dunno how that 95 skyline is only agreed @ $10,000. I've only got a few mods aswell, been with just cars for 3+ years and haven't had any major probs.

Well I'm definately going to ring them now. Maybe because I'm a youngen they think they can take advantage of me?

I need to get out of JustCar, my 95 33 is agreed at only 10k and they can't do any better!!!

If I ring them and tell them I want it valued higher and threaten to change companies will they raise it?

I'm going to ring around too when i get a chance.

If you speak to a customer service operator, and you arn't happy with the agreed value, try asking to speak to their supervisor to see if they can do something better!

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
