there def funny on how they work out to insure . when i got my r33 i was 46 yrs old and was told i wasent a enthusist despite 20 plus yrs of speedway racing and building a ac cobra kit car the refused flat out to insure me .

so i went with just cars for 12 months happened to have a whinge on here after the 12 months was up and a shannons rep on here pmed me and walla full comp agreed value 18 g alls happy .

this yr get renewal and altho my premuim was the same they dropped the value too 14 g now how can agree value be changed with out notice i thought both parties had too agree .so onto the ph and wasent having much joy till i said ok cancel skyline and my falcon full comp and cancell my house insurence as well i will go else where all of a sudden my agreed value went back to 18 g and was flagged not too be changed in the future .. i consider my self a low risk i hardly drive the skyline less than 6 to 8 thousand a yr .

the car is locked up when not driven in the garage thats alarmed the cars alarmed and clublocked bloody insurence companies give me the shit's lol i hope i never have too make a claim as i really like the car altho not driven much .

my sons r33 was kept in the same garage had a alarm and has a good driving record was 21 yrs old and did not want too know him i cant fig them out .

i think if i could get a better deal for my insurence package i prob would change .

end of rant

cheers dean

thats not good to hear how they can change the agreed value without contacting you first.....I had my insurance policy with Shannons last year after transferring from just car's and they insured me straight away with a agreed value that i was happy with and i was only 21....on a rating 1 mind you

Agreed value usually changes every year because the value of your car drops every year. They dont just change it whenever they like, they do it when they send out your renewal forms.

well how can it be agreed value then if they can drop it like the they did but still keep the premuim the same if they want too value it less then i should pay less you cant have it both ways .

otherwise you may as well insure it for market value . my understanding is if i wanted to insure it for 50 g and was willing to pay the premuim and they accepted thats agreed value .

i insured my car for what i payed for it at the time now if they claim the value has gone from 18g too 14 g my premuim must surly drop as well to reflect the value . what pissed me off was we are dropping the value 4g but you must pay the same /errr i dont think so sunshine so much for loyalty for switching 2 cars and my house too them .

there all friggen sharks ready too bite the ya wallet right out of ya hand

i am with Dean on this topic......they cant reduce the agreed value and increase or keep your premiums same....time to give my insurance company a call and find out what my agreed value is atm...hope they didnt change it :@

hey all

anyone that has a skyline might use this to help them insure there car if they have trouble like i did as im a p plater and im 18 and drive a r33 gts-t.

i went with just cars insurance. there actually pretty cheap im payin $2040 a year full comp and it's insured for $16.700

but these a catch to it. if i pay a full year straight out it will cost $2040 but if i do monthly payment it's $2500 witch works out to be around 200 bux a month i think just off the top of my head.

note that the prices will differ on your age mod's etc.

hope this in useful to some people.

I'm pretty sure Shannons pay by the quarter costs no more than the lump sum for the whole year

Just Car adds a fee when your paying by the month where as shannons just take your yearly premium and divide it by 12 :)

yeah but im 18 and have been in a crash so im on the highest rating there is i think. the price will differ depending on your age etc

yes that does but your premiums shouldnt change from paying by month or yearly

yeah i know.

when i first got the car 3 months ago i rang them and they only did yearly upfront and i couldnt pull 2040 bux out my ass in 2 weeks.

so i waited i dont know wat for bit stupid of me. but i rang up last week to get third party fire and theft and they said they do monthly payment now.

it's only a new thing for them. cant tell u y its a few hundred dearer a year :blink:

just car insurance.

$1480 p/a

2002 x-trail, manual, Ti-L (luxury model) insured for 18.6k

llisted mods:

full turbo kit

intercooler

clutch kit

2k worth of stereo

coilovers

electronics (gauges, boost controller, gps etc..)

that in MY name (18 y/o male, with 1 license suspension.), garaged every night, in a decent suburb etc...

good service from them too, very helpful.

They can and they do, deal with it.

Don't like it self insure. Simple as that

Insurance isn't only based on how much the car is insured for. The Agreed Value gets dropped each year on renewal to the Market value of that date and is locked in for a year.

Only part of the premium is based on the value of the car as a while, insurance companies have to factor in repair costs, parts, location, how it is stored, security on the car, previous claims history for that car (so whenever someone else's skyline is stolen it effects your premium) As cars get older parts get harder to come by.

i'm glad i don't have to deal with sh!t like this anymore

on the positive side my premium dropped $20 a month for changing my address

Just Car did this to me also and dropped the agreed value, only noticed it on the new renewal they sent me which is why I switched to Shannons with an agreed value of $2900 more than Just Car for the same premium.

I rang Shannons the other day, they said I needed to have owned the vehicle for at least 12 months to be able to be covered by them. Oh well, another year of Just Car I guess... At least I'm Rating 2 now, hopefully Rating 1 next year.

Everytime i hear of someone trying to insure with Shannons, i hear a different story about why they cant get cover. Bullshit!

i rang first time and got a quote straight away....

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
