2001 M35 Stagea 250RS

Professional truck driver, no accidents last 7 years, standard car, no under 25 drivers, stored in driveway, Alarmed

insured for 14000 agreed value (paid a lot less than that but only $20 extra to insure for 14K instead of 11K)

prem 520, excess 400. AA insurance NZ

All numbers above in NZ dollars. Lady said would be an extra $300 on premium if i was living in auckland again.

How are you guys getting it so cheap through shannons?

I have a 96 RS4 with normal mods (FMIC/Zorst/lowered/rims) , 33 years old, clean driving history, no claims ever, and they want $609 for third party property. I've also had my policy with them for like 6 years

They want exactly the same for my Wifes R33 4dr

My heavily modded 89 cefiro was only like $3xx through them

Less people making claims on a Cefiro perhaps?

Try a fully comp quote. May not be much more than the crappy third party :D

has anyone told their insurance company's about having fitted a front mount intercooler or anything else aftermarket?

im just thinking if i do crash it ill rip all the stuff out before an assessor sees it.

what if youre injured and CANT get the stuff off the car. or worse still, someone is killed in the accident and your car is taken away by the police from the scene??

tell your insurance company. pay the difference. save yourself the hassle and worry and having your ass reamed by the other guys insurance company when you hit his $250,000 merc and youre not covered.

Shannon's don't care that I've got a front-mount in my 240Z , 2.8L turbo with after-market ECU, custom brakes (MC, adjustable prop-valve, braided lines, 4-spots & discs/mounts), or fibreglass valence - but they know about all of it. So does Transport SA, and it's all approved.

You are best advised to ask what matters, and find out whether you need to tell your insurer about a particular modification. There are some that they won't care about, and others they will.

you'd be surprised! they dont care where the car is driven, they only care where its parked

Yep thats a real laugh, thought i had better inform my insurer beforehand that my car is left overnight in transport company yard when i'm working. Infact it probably spends more time there in the "bad part" of town than it does at home. But their system has no way of assesing that and all they want to know is where you live and street, driveway, or garaged. Best to inform them of that intercooler thingy dude, you dont know what repairer it will get towed to and normally their is some kind of impound yard for recent wrecks that cops visit a lot to check for stuff they didnt have time to do at scene. Not a good place to get caught unbolting your go fast goodies....

Thats not relevant for third party property though.

From what I have been told, Sydney is the problem, not really any particular suburb. Some may be worse and slightly more but over all it is cheaper to insure outside Sydney and even cheaper in another state other than NSW.

I have a 99 RS4 18x8 volks tein shocks etc live in outer melb $565 , just got my son a car from sydney same 99 RS4 never had insurance before same price , both with Shannons

That IS cheap!

How for "outer" Melbourne?

Agreed value?

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. :)

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. :)

Hi there i own a stagea in brisbane and my car insurance is with shannons it cost me about $1200 a year but that is agreed value so if it gets stolen or written off i get $20 000 for it and you can pay by the mth and it doesnt cost you any more by doing this.

well i hope this can help you in some way they are great cars im glad that i bought one i love it.my car has alot of mods on it though so thats why it is that price.

well good luck from

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
