got my renewal in the post today from shannons. Agreed Value has dropped $4500, not a big deal since its just a shell atm but once complete i'll go in there.

i had this argument with them last renewal they dropped the price of my value by 4 g i asked are you going to drop the premium as well to reflect the new valuation they replied errr no that price stays the same ....me i dont think so sunshine how can it be agreed value if one party does not agree to the changes .

after about 15 mins i got put onto a supervisor who tried the same spiel but i stood firm if im paying a premuim on a car last week was worth 18g and this week your telling me it's worth 14g then the premium has to drop as well lol.

anyway after saying i will take my 3 car policy's elsewhere things started too swing my way with the skyline remaining at 18g and the premium would stay the same . i was also told that they will stick too the agreed value in the future .

the bit that pissed me off is how can they change the agreed value without telling you if i wanted that i would have gotten a market value policy not agreed value .

my rant for the day

I've never claimed, got 1 speeding ticket ever, no crashes, no loss of license.

Odd. You've got a cleaner record than most people out there, including myself...

lets see....

Red light camera fine in my mums sigma(19)

1 speeding fine in my mums sigma (20)

PCA (age 21) in my r31 (crashed)

Driving with undue care (age 21, same incident as above) in my r31 (crashed)

2 speeding fines on the R31 (age 22-24)

2 speeding fines on the VN commodore (25-26)

3 speeding fines on the R32 GTR (28-30)

crashed the r31 twice with the 2nd time being a complete write off, and yet I've always kept my rating 1, regardless of the insurance company (AAMI, Justcars and Shannons)

its weird how they work it out - if I was an insurer I'd be more inclined to give Damo insurance than myself

-D

i might have to have a talk to them about mine, they've sneakily dropped the agreed value of my trailer from 6500 to 5600 :s

rofl how does something as simple as a trailer lose value? bastards

id be grilling a manager if i was u

-D

just got my insurance renewal today from just cars and it says my cars not covered for theft unless i have a immobiliser , do r32 gtrs have some saught of antitheft device on board or do i have to get a immobilizer if i dont want to take the risk other wise theres no point really having the insurance

from memory i dont think that they came with an immobiliser.....but in saying so you should have an alarm on a R specially......speak to Ric at Auto perfections mate.....he knows his stuff alarm wise :/

so if your car was made about 40 years ago when imobolizer where never heard of and some one stole your car insurance would not cover it, even though that model car was never sold from the factory with anysort of antitheft device. Just goes to show how times are changing

I just read through a nrma booklet and does not mention anything about having to have a immobilizer

sorted that one out, had gone from 6000 to 5600 on their standard "depreciation". i told them otherwise that it should go back to 6k. also the value on the patrol had gone from 15k last year to 11900, thats been revised back to 13500

Fairly sure the alarm must meet Australian standards and have at least two points of immobilisation.

i thought it was 3 points of immobilisation?

i thought an immobilizer had to be fitted as part of compliance?

It is, but from my recent experience the pricks charged me for an autowatch and when i had my mate inspect he said there was definitely NOTHING installed!

I'm 23 and drive a modified R32 GTST skyline, I've had no at fault claims or accidents or loss of license, excessive speeding fines etc. Is there anyone apart from just car worth trying?

$400 is fine for third party but if I can get full comp for around $1k I would consider it.

Just punched my car into Just Cars website, as a 33-yo female driver (rating 1) with no claims, no points off my license, perfect history driving an R34 GTT Sedan - they'll do $14k value at $1,044/yr .. uhh .. LOL ... no.

What I don't get the above driver is probably only just off their P's at 19, would be considered a rating what - 4? .. Yet can manage $1500 for an R34 GTR? .. Doesn't smell right. I punched similar details onto Justcars website and they said closer to $1900, but even that seems a bit low. Eh, who knows - maybe Just Cars really will just insurance young kids for cheap. Sure wasn't like that when I was younger.

Eh, either way I'm sticking with my Shannons with $28K agreed at $1250/yr.

    • 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.
