Unfortunately Dezz, even after I told them I would be part of SAU, Shannons said no.

Would be... isnt :thumbsup:

Plus the fact your 25

Male

Turbo

Import

Late model

Add to that you've had insurance under your dads name in the past, which is silly, because now you dont have insurance history.

If you did, you'd probably be fine

That sucks. And yes Just Cars can f*ck you around come claim time if you have illegal mods. Shannons, no.

not my expereince with Just Cars at all. I made a big claim, on a modified import with no isues

Shannons for me is $800/year with 500 excess for cover of 30k on a 33GTST...so as you can imagine...I'm pretty happy with them. My rate has never increased and infact last renewal i uped the coverage from 25 to 30k which they did no issues. Great guys IMO.

However I tick all the boxes. postcode, locked private garage, nweekend use only, CAMs car club member, 2 car policy with them and 30yo. These factors make a big difference.

i am with shannons on a good agreed market.

around 1800 a year - every mod listed on the GTR.

i would like to hear from anyone who has in the past claimed on Shannons - a lot of people on here with them, but I haven't heard of anyone claiming... I'd like to know how they go with being good blokes :thumbsup:

I guess Shannons just take us with the right risk profile - and don't have to claim!

Interesting. I'm 23, I'm in a high risk suburb, don't have a garage, the R34 is daily use (the N15 listed as 2-3 day use), no CAMS license, etc. I guess being female with an almost spotless driving record helps. I'm also pretty active in the car scene so they knew my about N15 already and chased me for insurance. I guess neither of my cars are considered massive theft risks and I'm considered a low accident risk. Really great to deal with.

Perhaps I should've got my own insurance earlier, but it would've cost me about $7000 in extra premium from when I got my P's to now.

I am happy to go with JCI for now.

And it'll probably end up costing you a similar amount at one point or another.

Either way, that's the main reason. Not having your own history/rating etc

ok everyones insurance seems cheaper then mine lol

i'm with just cars and its costing me 2400 premium and a 2200 excess, and i started out on rating 5 instead of 6.. the car isn't even turbo!! so its quite depressing, and to add to all that i've had a claim two or so months ago. so i'm expecting a 3000 premium lol.

hate been 18 :P

Just want to know - has anyone's claim been denied/reduced due to mild "illegal" mods eg., boost controller, turbo timer?

Do people actually tell their insurance companies about illegal items? Isn't that just opening the door to denying your claim and making your $2000/year insurance useless? If you had a hidden boost controller, would they go so far as to comb through your car?

Thanks.

i had mine under my moms name for 3 yrs, told shannons that and they changed me from rating 5 to rating 1 or 2.. i forget

I just switched from Shannons to LSV ( http://www.lsvinsurance.com.au/ ) for the GTR...

I has my last car (VT Calais, 5.0l) insured with Shannons and phoned them just before I brought the GTR to get a quote for the new car. I told them nothing is changing, just the car. I live in a building with a shared underground security carpark, they knew this from when i purchased the calais.

Shannons gave me a quote for the Skyline and I brought the car..

Now a few months later, I was looking at moving to another building with similar security parking, so I phoned Shannons for a quote at the new address, they said that for a GTR, it has to be individually secure lock up parking, not shared access, so they could not offer insurance at the new address. When I said that's not what I have now, they informed me I had 14 days to find a new insurer as they would no longer cover me. D'oh! Had they told me of that requirement, I never would have purchased the car at the time.

Luckily a friend put me on to LSV and they've turned out to be cheaper, and they've got no problems with shared access security parking!

The only down side I can see is that you have to pay either 6 months or 12 months up front. Still my premium was $976 for 12 months..

Yes, my boost controller, bigger turbo etc. are all covered and listed on my policy.

as I said earlier, I have had all those mods, been in a big accident which required about $15k worth of fixing from JC and they did it no issue. just took ages!

    • I used to have Walbro 255's when they were a pretty common update. (or were they 044? 040?) In any case I had a dirty tank. I thought the tank was good, but I would find the filter would clog in maybe ~50km of driving. If the issue persists, well, your fuel system or tank has crap in it that the pump is sucking up.
    • Hi. Ok thanks for the info. I/we do not know what tune is on that Nistune ECU so it is why there is stock ECU and that Nistune is for later when the car is done. I have guy who tunes Nistune and other ECU so i will then take it to him to see and properly tune for the car   And for the update. On 99,9% it is bad fuel pump. Which is wierd cuz it is like 2 years old(brand new walbro 255) and that filter (also brand new) was dirty.  I was alwaya pumped premium(100) on very good petrol station so i dont know how is that possible...  
    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here
