Try H2P insurance, underwritten by RAA .

$890 fullcomp with mods. Im 35 but not sure what my rating is .

It will depend on the suburb that you live , your age , speeding fines, where it is parked, amout of K's that you do and

if it is alarmed (which it will).

good luck

Just Cars have done well by me

I have to say the same.

My insurance with Just Cars was going to be 1300+, but they rang me back to say I can be classed as a rating one, because I had allready insured another car before. It got dropped to 950. so it was quite nice of them :D

+1 for Just Cars - they're even cheaper now with their 'AD-just' scheme thing... if you dont plan to crash!

LOL, I dont think anyone ever plans to crash. If we didnt plan to crash, we wouldnt need insurance, right? Sometimes accidents happen, and the last thing you want is some $1-2k excess which just makes you feel worse.

Anyway, Im with Shannons:

27yo, rating one for life, no speeding fines in the last 5 years and my premium is ~1000 a year from memory for R33 GTS-t with mods. Excess is only $400 and have choice of repairer and first right to wreck in worst case scenario.

Just Car $1150 rating 1 - I'm 26, and my wife is 23 (JCI put the youngest driver as the policy holder).

Just Car do have higher excesses but usually lower premiums and lower requirements than all other insurers I know.

I've tried calling shannons 3 times and each time they've told me where to go (not an "enthusiast" or some crap) so I just returned the compliment. Not going to waste my time with them again. What happens to all you guys insured with Shannons when it comes to make a claim and they turn around and give you the "you're not an enthusiast" dribble.

I dont know too many people who own a modified Nissan Stagea who aren't an enthusiast about their car. I've been to cruises, an sau photoshoot, and have spent way too much money modifying the car but apparently its just not enough to rank in the shannons elite. Yet my brother who used to own a ford xr wagon with exhaust was able to insure that car with them no worries...go figure.

Any company that wants to turn away good customers is not one that I want to deal with...

I've had no claims or fines either btw...very clean record (touch wood) :w00t:

Anyways, +1 for JustCar. Never made a claim so unfortunately I cant comment on that...but I'm with them becuase of how easy they are to deal with. They dont need to know where the car is parked during the day, just the basic details and thats all. Other insurers ask way too many questions IMO, makes me nervous about what they will ask in a claim....say the car was broken into and I happened to be parked in a bad spot during the day that I hadn't told them about when I signed up?

Comes down to who you can trust I guess. fingers crossed. :)

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
