Im 26.

but renewed my insurance a couple weeks b4 I turned 26.

Justcars.

100 a month. rating one.

Tried doing an online quote with shannons. They dont even have skylines listed ?

you would have to call up shannons mate

thats the only way you would be able to get a decent quote out of them

Im 18, 19 in a couple months.

Have made 1 previous insurance claim when I was 16, and 1 driving offence (no P Plates).

Full comp insurance on a R32 GTR with agreed value of 24k, can choose whatever repairer I want, one quote needed,

$3300 p/year and $900 for a claim. I paid the first year of insurance outright but yeah.

Thats with Shannons, JustCar wanted $3500 + $2500 to make a claim. I laughed at them and hung up.

All in all fairly happy with shannons considering my situation

interesting differences considering just cars / shannons both go through AAMI

just got my ER34 today... cover $22K costing $1K / year full comp with shannons with some mods and one speeding fine over last year this is not my daily driver so works out cheaper that way

well I just got off the phone with Shannons and turned a possible negative post into a positive one.

I had both the bike and the GTR insured with them for a certain value and the policy has just come up for renewal with a slight increase in premium over last year for both vehicles...(typical).

I rang them to remove the GTR from the policy (due to selling it last week) and they said "fine, we'll send you out an amended policy"......problem is, they slugged me another $80 on top of the increased premium purely because it's gone back to a one vehicle policy.

Now I had the bike insured with them at a discounted rate before I added the GTR in 2007, yet when I added the GTR, I didn't receive a further discount because the bike's premium was already discounted, so in effect now they've gone ahead and taken the initial discount away by increasing the bike's premium twice in the last 12 mths....Not happy Jan :D .

However, after explaining the situation to one of the consultant's team leaders, they removed the extra $80 and wished me all the best, so in my books they are still OK.........how many other insurance companies can you negotiate with other than when they've made a mistake or when first establishing a new policy? :D

  • 2 weeks later...

Shannons may be better on service and possibly excess, but they told me that they can't even beat Just Car's premium. To each his own i guess.

After quite a bit of research, i think this thread needs a template. There are alot of factors that can alter a premium, not just age and aspiration, eg.

Age:

Suburb and postcode:

Years driving:

Claim history:

Rating:

Make and Model:

N/A or Turbo:

Total Value of mods listed:

How is car stored (street, lock up garage, carport etc.)

Premium:

Excess:

Also, if your not the number 1 driver on the policy, don't bother contributing.

Yeah famous has been good better than just cars

you also need to add the that template location (which in todays day and age isn't wise)

location and if the car is garaged plays a big part in how much you pay

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
