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

Where is my quote then? lol im the honest one getting punished for it!

No quote because they cannot sell you it.

Its like going into KFC, asking for a big mac, KFC cant sell you it, you dont have a fully enclosed garage, shannons cant sell you a product.

Simple.

Here's the deal with Shannons:

They DO insure under 25's.

All our cars are classed as high performance (damn straight) - so they gotta be in a fully enclosed, locked up garage. Anything else is a no go. Don't lie about this, firstly it's illegal to, second if you have a claim they will investigate where you have been keeping it.

If you don't drive the car as often, you can pay less premium if you tell them. They have different usage categories, so your car can be a daily drive, or you can drive it a couple of times a week, or a couple of times a month. If you have if off the road for a chunk of time you can let them know that and they change your insurance to something called "laid up cover". This means that it's fully comprehensively insured as long as it's not being driven under it's own power. This laid up thing also covers accidental damage you do to the car yourself!!

i.e. car is off the road for some engine work, you drop the engine through the sunroof, you're totally covered. Laid up premiums are also very very low.

If you're under 25 your excess will be higher, but nowhere near $2500 like with some of the others.

You also get full choice of repairer (only the best) and lifetime guarantee on repairs, so if your panel beater does a slightly less tahn perfect job, Shannons will pay for it to be fixed again.

One replacement window or windscreen per year with NO EXCESS.

Pay by the month and it doesn't cost you extra.

I've got both cars and the contents insured with Shannons as well. Had 2 claims this year, no paperwork, over the phone, great service.

I have the new car through shannons as they offered the best coverage.

One thing that kills me about customers is when they are just comparing prices.

Comparing insurance prices is like looking at a yaris and a R8 audi. Yes the yaris is cheaper but what good is it as a sports car.

cheap insurance is cheap for a reason!!

anyway

I'm 24 pay $1200

with a 800 excess

agreed value 40K

rating 1

ohhh and after working in car insurance for the last 10 months i'm glad i only deal with marine insurance.... car owners are w@nkers!!

now paying $131 a month for $13,000 worth of coverage with a $900 excess with Shannons as opposed to...

... $141 a month for $9,000 coverage and a $2,000 excess with Famous. much happy with the new cover. took about 20 minutes til it was all sorted. stoked.

dude who handled it was awesome, very patient despite my not knowing basically anything and constant running around to find details, very helpful, explained everything i wasnt quite sure about as opposed to all the people ive had at h2p, justcar, and famous who have dismissed any questions and told me to read the policy when i get it. much awesome. will probably be signing the magna up with them for insurance also as they quoted less than the raa did.

Good to hear we could look after you mate, you spoke to Damien, he is one of our best, drives an evo 6.

Plus I've never met anyone who didn't think our service was the best they've ever had.

Cheers.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
