This is their site steve http://www.wfi.com.au/wps/wcm/connect/internet/wfi/

My parent's are the ones who signed everything up for me when I was living with them a few years ago and when I got my own place I just transfered all the details of mine over.

Best bet is to call up and speak to someone as you'll get the best result that way.

I rang Wesfarmers and they are not interested unless you have a business going through them plus house insurance They said they will only do it in a package deal. They put me on to OAMPS( which is a company under them) who took all my particulars and car details and came back with a no can do, because of the type of car.

Mine is an R33 GTR and I'm 55.

me and my parents do not have a business with them at all.

my parents have a house and contents with them as well as a couple of cars.

i dont have a house with them but i do have contents and a car with them.

im only 22 and ive had a 2, s13's, an r32, a r33 with a forged 26 init and few other cars with them with all mods listed (most were non-adr approved) and one of my s13's were listed as a track car.

i dont know why they insured me over you though.

Maybe they've tightened up. They left the "can't Insure" message on my phone with a number to ring back. I'll ring back, but can't see the decision changing.

Just rang Wesfarmers again. Andrew Harris is on leave so his mobile went straight to reception. Spoke to the receptionist who checked with her superiors, and the story is, "we do not insure modified vehicles", sorry, but this guy must be pulling your leg. She even read the clauses from their policy guidelines. which included no mods to suspension, engines, wheels and further down the list was no track cars. Oh well consider yourself very lucky to be "in". Looks like I'll stay with Shannons at $850.00.

what a load of shit. ill see if i can find my old insurence forms listing my mods etc.

even had their guy come out to check my 32 over when i made a claim and everything was fine.

have other mates with them listing mods.

if they dont want to insure you thats their loss. must of tightened up or something but ill find out as ill be insuring another car with them soon with mods.

I have read nearly every post in this thread. I got sick of reading about people bragging how old they are and what they drive. So now it's time for me to post.

I'm looking at purchasing an 1999 Autech Stagea 260RS. I'm 32 with a flawless driving record and 60% no claim bonus and I live in a country town with a lock up garage for the car.

I phoned Shannon's yesterday and they wont even give me any insurance. They reckon ya gotta be a member of a car club!? Just cars wanted $1700 with $600 excess. Or down to $1100 with a $1700 excess. Well... I would hate to see hoe much the bloody thing would cost me if I lived in Sydney with a terrible driving record.

"End of rant"

Totally with you mate, you would have seen my many rants about Shannons and their blatant inconsistency. Everyone i know has a different story with Shannons.

Take me and Krishy for example,

- same age

- 33 v 34

- same area, basically

- lock up garages

- both dont own a daily driver

- flawless driving histories

Shannons covers him, and they wont cover me.

i think your all missing the point

its based around a PACKAGE so

building insurance

contents insurance

car insurance

once you tick those 3 boxes they may insure you (you MIGHT find)

that's the thing steve, i dont have those 3. in fact, when i signed my new lease with them, i only had 1 of them and that's it. and this is after i cancelled my agreement with them before i moved out and went with someone else to help lauren out till her insurence agreement ran out.

and they were saying they wouldnt consider him because of the car he has as well.

    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using. 
    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
