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

    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
