I've done a quick search and couldn't come up with anything specific..

I'm looking at importing a Stagea in the next couple of months. I've never owned an import before but have a clean driving record, been driving for 4 years.

I currently own an R31 wagon and wanna upgrade. :thanks:

Just wondering what insurance companies you guys with Stageas are with, and how much it costs?

I've done a couple of online quotes but most of them don't have Stagea listed in their vehicle list, so I'm waiting for an email back.

Sorry if a thread like this has been done before.

Thanks in advance. :)

Does Boosted work for Shannons?

Sorry to hijack the thread but i'm about to hit the big two-five, so i thought i'd start shopping for some cheaper insurance (JCI $1800p.a. full comp hurts my wallet)

I've hit up Vigil, who are now part of LSV, for a quote too. a mate recently got a quote for $1000 premium, $500 excess from them.

Mine is through Famous - ex Vigil, but Custom Car Insurance, Shannons, JCI do ok quotes.

8OO5TED did and should still be working for shannons.

he was very very helpful with quotes for the stagea and the R33 and i was already a customer.

I've been with JCI for 1 year now, I just turned 24 and got my renewal notice in the mail for $888 12 months full comp.

What do you do to get a premium like that? Neither myself or my friend (who owns an imported MR2 GT-T) can get below $1800 a year with JCI.

Do you have any traffic fines like speeding or neg driving? i think that's what's hurting me, i was a bit of a rebel when i started driving.

I'm in SA.

I got an online quote from Just Car for $1440 per year full comp. Is that good? Famous sent me an email back but said I didn't supply enough information for an online quote and would call me soon.

Thanks for all the tips guys, makes wanting to get a new car even more tempting :/

I have just gone to Shannons for my S2 Stagea $549.00 for $20,000.

I am with shannons as well, with 3 cars and house and contents on 65% no claim 35 yr old multi poicy discounts

My S2 with large list of mods is covered $25000 yearly policy $1208

So I rang them to see if they could do better, I changed it to being driven 1-2 days week, instead of daily use, new policy price $992 yr

I could reduce it more as the car only gets driven once a month.

Coparts41, is yours for daily use?

JCI: insured for $19K on car and all mods (damn pirates!) and $3.5k on wheels, all engine/drivetrain mods legal and declared,

costs $890 p/a. This is the 3rd year I've used them, and I am 65% ncb & 30y.o.

EDIT: car is daily driven

I have just gone to Shannons for my S2 Stagea $549.00 for $20,000.

It all comes to where you live. Age is not my issue, no garage and apparantly West Ryde is not a cheap suburb to have insurance!

JCI $1600PA for NM35ARX @$30k as a daily drive.

I think Shannons can do you a better deal.

I wish, because I do not have a garage and a daily drive will not insure me. JCI were the only company despite age of 42, no points and only 2 speeding fines in 20 years of driving.

If I lived on the northern beaches insurance would be at least $500 cheaper. aaaaarrrrrgggghhh :P

    • @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.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
