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

yeah justcars didnt have a m35 in their system too they called it a rs4 or something like that too..

i tried to tell them my spec. leather navi and all that and they wouldnt allow it since they said the arx is the only one with leather and navi..

clearly not the case haha.

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.

bugger, i was gonna call up and ask about that cos i've got a few chips from driving to tas :D

may still call up and complain that they are underwritten by aami and they offer it

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...

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

:) 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

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
