ill be giving shannons a call soon to add some stuff (ive been a bit slack about it the last few weeks), probably looking at an extra couple hundred a year. big deal. would rather have the cover and not need it than need it and not have it. 200 bucks vs 20k. no brainer.

Quick question...

I'm currently with Just Car insurance (comprehensive insurance) and will be selling my car soon. Can I get a refund back on the 2-3 months outstanding or do I have to run it out?

I have just gone through a massive legal battle with telstra and their customer service was sooo much better than what i experienced with shannons today!!!

A good friend of mine is looking at buying a TT V6 Quattro, she has been calling around due to the fact she is 23 and shannons was one that she tried. The guy on the end of the phone refused to even quote her as she isn't part of any car club (i'm not and have my car through them)

they then proceeded to tell her that "you aren't a motoring enthusiast so i can't quote you"

i spoke to the guy as she didn't know wheat was going on and again he refused to quote on the car WTF!!

i know they look for a specific target audience but thats going a bit far

END RANT!!

yeah Nick they definitely seem to hand pick their clientele.

My bike is insured with them yet they won't go near a couple of guys I know with full customs......one is club affiliated but the other is as clean as a whistle :)

Hi everyone I'm new to the site aswell as owning a skyline.

I recently tried to get insured through shannons but they wouldent let me because of a few reasons (i live in regional vic):

1. my car is not garaged in a lock up garage.

2. the skyline I got is my first turbo'd car, they needed proof that I've had experience with a turbo.

3. my car doesent have an australian standard immobilizer.

So i've ended up going with RACV full comp.

Premium is $1,172, Excess $550 (but because I'm under 25 I add another $400, so $950).

I checked out just cars and the premium was $300 more and excess was about $1000! more!

I agree with most people on here... 'IF you cant afford the insurance you cant afford the car..'

I bought my r34 gtt tuesday and insured it with shannons with a $1800 premium. I personally think that comp insurance is the only way 2 go..

Dont be stupid.. Btw im 21.. but because of my prev history with turbo cars and regular history in car shows.. I was able to be insured by them!

i dont mean to be offensive, but history in car shows really has nothing to do with whether or not you qualify for cover? this is error on the insurers behalf, not yours. i got a 34 also, im 22, and cannot get insurance with them.

who knows what kooky rules shannons lives by. if the dude has been involved in motorsport since hes 12, then yeah, ok, but tbh as far as i know, they do not, rule of thumb, insure anyone under the age of 25 anymore....

I could be wrong but i call shenanigans

-D

i had my old 32 with them when i was 17 for 6 months, full comp till i found a better insurence company (wesfarmers) and cancelled that.

called them when i was 21 to insure my rego'd track car with mods (and they knew it was a track car with all mods) and im not with any car clubs and they still insured me full comp.

also, my driving histroy isnt perfect although nothing majorly bad...

im not sure their method for insuring but it seems to be abit all over the place.

Weird people are getting knocked back about 'not being an enthusiast'. When I called up, they asked if I read car magazines, was into cars etc - and accepted that happily for the insurance for my R34 GTT without question ...

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
