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 ...

shannons; 'prove it'

you: 'u seen dat movie gran torino?'

shannons: 'laik who hasnt, clint is awesome'

you: 'im laik clint, but in real life...'

shannons: 'oh s**t!'

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
