Im 26.

but renewed my insurance a couple weeks b4 I turned 26.

Justcars.

100 a month. rating one.

Tried doing an online quote with shannons. They dont even have skylines listed ?

you would have to call up shannons mate

thats the only way you would be able to get a decent quote out of them

Im 18, 19 in a couple months.

Have made 1 previous insurance claim when I was 16, and 1 driving offence (no P Plates).

Full comp insurance on a R32 GTR with agreed value of 24k, can choose whatever repairer I want, one quote needed,

$3300 p/year and $900 for a claim. I paid the first year of insurance outright but yeah.

Thats with Shannons, JustCar wanted $3500 + $2500 to make a claim. I laughed at them and hung up.

All in all fairly happy with shannons considering my situation

interesting differences considering just cars / shannons both go through AAMI

just got my ER34 today... cover $22K costing $1K / year full comp with shannons with some mods and one speeding fine over last year this is not my daily driver so works out cheaper that way

well I just got off the phone with Shannons and turned a possible negative post into a positive one.

I had both the bike and the GTR insured with them for a certain value and the policy has just come up for renewal with a slight increase in premium over last year for both vehicles...(typical).

I rang them to remove the GTR from the policy (due to selling it last week) and they said "fine, we'll send you out an amended policy"......problem is, they slugged me another $80 on top of the increased premium purely because it's gone back to a one vehicle policy.

Now I had the bike insured with them at a discounted rate before I added the GTR in 2007, yet when I added the GTR, I didn't receive a further discount because the bike's premium was already discounted, so in effect now they've gone ahead and taken the initial discount away by increasing the bike's premium twice in the last 12 mths....Not happy Jan :D .

However, after explaining the situation to one of the consultant's team leaders, they removed the extra $80 and wished me all the best, so in my books they are still OK.........how many other insurance companies can you negotiate with other than when they've made a mistake or when first establishing a new policy? :D

  • 2 weeks later...

Shannons may be better on service and possibly excess, but they told me that they can't even beat Just Car's premium. To each his own i guess.

After quite a bit of research, i think this thread needs a template. There are alot of factors that can alter a premium, not just age and aspiration, eg.

Age:

Suburb and postcode:

Years driving:

Claim history:

Rating:

Make and Model:

N/A or Turbo:

Total Value of mods listed:

How is car stored (street, lock up garage, carport etc.)

Premium:

Excess:

Also, if your not the number 1 driver on the policy, don't bother contributing.

Yeah famous has been good better than just cars

you also need to add the that template location (which in todays day and age isn't wise)

location and if the car is garaged plays a big part in how much you pay

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
