Shannons do offer insurance to under 25's but not via the website, only via phone in my experience. My g/f has been on my Evo's and the first one was when she was 23. She also had her Subaru insured in her own name with them at 23 and currently has the Mini with them but is now over 25. This was 3 years ago though so things could have changed.

I imagine it is on a case by case basis with risk the denominator.

Track insurance is offered in Australia but at a premium for the day only and at a percentage value of the vehicle up to X percent from my understanding. I don't know if Shannons do it though.

i've been with shannons since i was 20 i think (i think late 20). R34. At the end of the call when i got all the policy sorted, they told me the only reason they even CONSIDERED insuring me was because i was a member of a CAMS affiliated club (thanks SAU VIC) and i was planning on tracking the car. Perhaps they were a little more lenient back in the day. I've also been on extreme limited use and limited use policies, genuinely so and i appreciated them taking my word at face value.

I "think" i started at $1900 for extreme limited use, then i jumped to $2100 when changing to limited use (so that would have been 21 yrs old) and now it's $12xx i think. 25 on Nov 28th, so hopefully it's going to come down some more :)

So yeah, in short, they insure under 25. Perhaps they are a little tougher these days by the sound of it, or maybe they just make an assessment on how you sound over the phone :blink: But i wouldn't even bother checking with them without being a SAU Vic member, or some a member of some sort of CAMS club.

Got quoted from Shannons last week or so.. I'm under 25 and it's much cheaper that famous and just cars.

But it all depends on the licenses you hold and your experience and of course NCB rating I guess.. Everyone is different.

oh, forgot to add... to me, choice of repairer pretty trumps ANYTHING. I would gladly pay more on my premium if it meant i could hand my car over to Mr Gloss, without having to sell my left kidney to get work done there.

I did ring JC a few months ago, just to see how it would compare.

- Agreed value with shannons is way more than what JC would give me at market value

- Excess way more with JC

- No choice of repairer with JC

i'd easily pay a couple hundred more given the above. But as it turns out, JC and shannons were the same premium.

The benefits you get with shannons easily outweighs a couple hundred cheaper quote else where

i got insurance with shannons when i was 19! they insure my s15 for $30,000 value

i have a $900 excess and my premium is only $1800 ... not bad for a 20 year old!

i turn 21 in 2 weeks and i'll be on rating 1 with them!

I'm sure it helps but I wasn't part of a CAMS affiliated club nor did I have a CAMS license at the time.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      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.
