Yup my policy's are in my name only. I too would hate to see my dad drive any of my cars as he's never driven a car with power + he's not the greatest driver as he's too carefull yet careless at the same time (drives slowly but carelessly). The most powerfull car he's driven was a 1.6L fwd pulsar.

Yeah my dads the same. Gives me shit about accelerating 'too fast' and then when he drives, doesnt indicate or check blind spots. And he goes about 50kph in a 60 zone. Old people. What can I say?

-D

+1.

my dad rarely indicated, never checks his blind spots, sits 15km/h over the limit all the time, and then gets on my case for giving it a bit of stick every now and then.

im 25 with Shannons. Agreed value of $20,000 Premium $1293.37 Excess $500 Mods listed include RB26DETT, Exhaust, Coilovers, Wheels, JVC TV/DVD player.

And the best thing about Shannons is you get to choose your repairer, you dont with Just Car, which is very important as far as im concerned.

Another Shannons customer here. Started with them when i was 20. 21 now paying $1648 a year, 900 excess and insured for 30k. Car owes me close to 35k at the moment.

I have even spoke to them about the 26/30 saying theres no way it will be getting through regency and even then said thats fine :(

just got a quote through famous

Premium

Total Payable : ** $ 1,949.68

Agreed Cover : $25,000

Excess:

Basic Excess $1,000

Age Excess $500

Single Vehicle Excess $1,000

Total: $2,500

No mention of rating however. So in my search for competitive insurance, Just Cars premium is better than Famous.

Damo you only pay 2.5k if your in an at fault colison by your self so hit a guard rail in the hills and scratch your car all the way down, forget your handbrake and run into a group of shops get the picture

if you run up the back of another car then its 1500

was this quote online cause i would'nt mind betting thats not agreed value either

dont forget guys there is H2P insurance also a division of raa that insure's imports and young drivers

yeah, im only interested in excess if its myself at fault, in my own car, thats why i have insurance. so finding the most competitive interest is of interest to me. accidents happen!

And for the agreed value, i entered my desired agreed value, and it was the same on the quote so i guess its approved.

Just tried H2P online quote, they dont list skyline :)

Yeah so an at fault accident with famous with another car will cost you $1500

if you have a little off in the hills or hit a gutter 9 times out of 10 no matter who your with its cheaper to fix without making a claim this is what you need to think of also

wow 30k!!! thats huge luke.. some big agreed values with shannons!! gonna give them a call..

My agreed value with Just cars was the same as Shannons, but understand Skylines value has taken a huge hit this year, dealerships are selling off R34 GTT for 20-26 k. but in the scheme of things cars loose value fast, unless they're a investment grade car?

it sucks but just be glad its not a Hyundai or commy, drive it off the lot, worth half what you paid for it. thank the world economy.

when they tell you the qouted value, argue it!!!! they will up the amount a bit, a tiny bit of haggle is worth lots.

and i called a few others, RAA just laughed when I told them what kind of car. pretty much said HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT TO PAY US?..LOL

they acted like it was a rocket car, no parachute and a brick wall ahead..lol

I coudnt imagine the cost of fixing one of those carbon fiber cars. holy cats it would cost a bank load of cash. which i guess you have if you drive one..lol

I cant believe people drive decent cars without coverage???? then whine when they crash it or it gets stolen?

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
    • To pick up what Dose is putting down. Not a lot of point running a huge hose if the motor is still restricted to the smaller size... It's only capable of flowing so much at that point...   *Waits for GTSBoy to come in and bring in the technicalities of length of pipe, and additional restriction from wall friction etc etc*
    • Hooley Dooley these things have some history! If i sell them they will need a certificate of providence to prove they have been in the hands of verified RB20 royalty! They have been stored in a plastic tub, away from sunlight and moisture. They are in mint condition. And they will stay that way, as i have sprung the money for a set of shockworks coilovers. I'm just working on getting them in at the moment, after rebushing the rear of the car, and while the subframe was out i welded in the GKtech reinforcement bracing as well.  They will get a workout at Ararat King of The Hill in November. I ran 48s on the short course there a few months ago, and i am hoping with new bushes and shocks in the rear i can launch a bit harder. There was a fair bit of axle tramp when i tried too hard off the line. a few of the corners had dips mid way which also made the car feel a bit unsettled, hopefully this will help there too.
