I am sick of Insurance companies not knowing shit about imports and just being rude. Just got off the phone with Shannons. You would think that people who deal with imports daily would have been given

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.

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.

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.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
