Oh, just got my renewal from LSV. Was very happy with them before ($20k, 786 premium, moderate eccess), got the renewal - $15k value, $1256 premium, $750 excess. Rang them, have a good conversation, basically they are changing directions and not interested much in insuring us anymore.

Oh well, time to shop around.

I just got my renewal from LSV

went from $750 premium $500 excess to

$1798 PREMIUM $500 EXCESS!!!!!!!

for $10k

I have no problem with them going in a new direction.

They should just not offer me a renewal

"we dont insure that type of vehicle anymore, sorry" would have been adequate

they're obviosly trying to get rid of me, why do they have to insult me in the process. douches

:P

Holy shit.

I just got a price for the stag if I add another driver, a 19 year old female to the insurance.

Went from $1400 or whatever to $3500 or so... She did have one minor bingle early this year - I suspect that drove the price up. The premium drops to $2400 if I have a $1700 excess instead of $600. So assuming I didn't claim in the first year then I'd come out ahead with the $1700 excess. She turns 20 in 3 months though so I thought I might wait till then.

i know its a bit old but i added my gf onto my policy and told them that she didn't drive it much and it was only for emergencies - added her on at no extra cost and she's 18

just for reference, justcar - rs4s (they didn't have it in their system but took notes of what it was) valued at 17,500 - ~$1400 a year with pay by the month (would be cheaper for one off lump sum)

just got me wondering if they do glass cover, will check it out and see

Interesting, I have also just taken out another policy at $1600 a year, pay by the month. Rs4 at $17.250.

JustCars gave me the best price so far, Shannons wouldn' touch it due to the number of mods I've done.

Agreed value $34,000, premium $600 annually for full comp... it would've been in the 7's though I opted to increase my excess... the figures on that depends on what you're claiming but ranges from $1000-$1400, the only thing I didn't like about the policy was no windscreen cover, not even optional.

They will beat it. . . but not Kill it. . .

Mine with Shannons is $1535, Sydney, rating 1, over 35+ . . I am on month to month until I find a cheaper one. .

^ same. I'm with Shannons and over 25 and my insurance is $1200. I did an online quote with Just Cars and it came to $835. I rang them to check if the online quote was accurate and the guy went over everything I'd ticked etc and said it was all cool - they just heavily discount it if you do it on the net. It will always cost more over the phone even if the details are exactly the same.

I asked Shannons why my insurance went up from $886 to $1200 in 6 months and they said that Stageas are considered high risk vehicles....

'they said that Stageas are considered high risk vehicles....'

I was fed a similar line when I asked about the increase, something like: "Import turbo Nissans are a high risk category". Seems like a very silly generalisation to make.

I wonder how many Stags are written off (On a percentile basis) in comparison to Silvias, 180s, Skylines, which are RWD turbo 'sports cars', as opposed to AWD turbo 'touring wagons'.

perhaps it is more to do with how many are written of V's how many are insured?

That is the difficulty of owning an unusual (less volume) car like the Stagea.

I have certainly read about a few C34 and a few M35 that have turned up at the auctions as insurance write offs.

I once rang Famous Classics and they told me "sorry, we will not ensure Stageas because they are high risk vehicles." then she goes on to say "we insure many imports like SUPRAS"... as if a Stag is less risk than a Supra.... I'm sure a Supra would be much easier to write off...

:) thats what i said here:

"I wonder how many Stags are written off (On a percentile basis) in comparison to Silvias, 180s, Skylines"

I still think, per capita, that stags would be less written off less often. It's not infallible, but compare the amount of wrecks in each forum classifieds, we have 4 a year, they have 4 a fortnight :P

I could just be throwing a tanty though :P

      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.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
