Got quoted $2300 premium with JC. I'm 18, car is 96 GTST, alarm, immobilizer, parked in an off the street lock up garage, in Stirling. Driven once a week, not my daily. Is it just me or is that ridiculous?

I'm 19, female, same year and model, alarm, immobiliser, few mins from Stirling. I think I put it as not being my daily too. $1252 premium, $1550 excess. Where did they get the extra 1k from? Surely its not just from being male? OH.. Josh it's you!! Haha hey, didn't see your actual name until I read back up!

Called SGIC today and he quoted me $1211 for comprehensive (same details as above post). BUT wouldn't insure my car for more than $5000 and something claiming that's all they sell for and are worth at the moment. Hung up on him. Called RAA (member) quoted me $3000 for comprehensive.

Think I might just stick with Just Car, they seem to be experienced with young drivers and turbos. I just don't want to have to pay the $1252 up front, would much rather pay it monthly (will be another $250 a year if I do).

hi all

havent been on for quite a few months just been really busy with other aspects of life .but i had reason to make a insurence claim thru shannons last week and that remianded of this thread.

my mrs was in a 4 car pile up on main nth rd last week sitting at the lights then thump thump thump as 3 cars behind she got hit by a bloke without much brains damage to the mrs car was fairly light due to the other cars taking the energy out of it all. our tow bar was bent up 90 degs and pushed into the bumper.

no other damage besides that tho. we rang shannons that night to get the ball rolling and because my mrs had all the other drivers details they approved the claim at no cost. all we had to do was take the car to a crash shop of our choice the next day where it was assesed later that day shannons rang to give the repair the go ahead easy as that .you hear horror stories from insurence companys but these guys have been a pleasure to deal with kudo's to them . car went in today to be repaired will be ready for pick up wed night .

cheers dean

Edited by mid life crisis

the guy we spoke to first up was exellent his first question was to ask how my mrs was feeling dropped the car off yesterday and should be ready tomorrow i know its not a big doller claim or anything like that but i feel we have been looked after and the right thing has been done by us.

i used to recommend shannons to friends before this incedent im even more likley to recommend them now i also added another car to the policy that we have just bought and have gotton a quote for a trailer ive just built for my race car ..try getting that service thru buppa lol.

how ya going madaz ya better feel me in on all the gossip ive missed out on in the last 6 months

cheers dean

Hehe, theres a thread in global wasteland - I dont know how to find it offhand but its some guy whinging about how crap the country of tur key is and some mod decided it'd be funny to attach the filter... hilarity ensued

its even funnier when christmas comes around and people start talking about roast tur key and start peaking, wondering why their post is getting edited

-D

Ie: Me and my mum spent the entire afternoon preparing the christmas the sphincter of the universe. It tasted so good once it was out of the oven and nommed into our bellies.

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
    • To pick up what Dose is putting down. Not a lot of point running a huge hose if the motor is still restricted to the smaller size... It's only capable of flowing so much at that point...   *Waits for GTSBoy to come in and bring in the technicalities of length of pipe, and additional restriction from wall friction etc etc*
    • Hooley Dooley these things have some history! If i sell them they will need a certificate of providence to prove they have been in the hands of verified RB20 royalty! They have been stored in a plastic tub, away from sunlight and moisture. They are in mint condition. And they will stay that way, as i have sprung the money for a set of shockworks coilovers. I'm just working on getting them in at the moment, after rebushing the rear of the car, and while the subframe was out i welded in the GKtech reinforcement bracing as well.  They will get a workout at Ararat King of The Hill in November. I ran 48s on the short course there a few months ago, and i am hoping with new bushes and shocks in the rear i can launch a bit harder. There was a fair bit of axle tramp when i tried too hard off the line. a few of the corners had dips mid way which also made the car feel a bit unsettled, hopefully this will help there too.
