This is a little strange. Shannon's insured my car in a shared underground car park (and I'm talking shared with almost 100 cars, maybe more) in Port Melbourne for 2 years. Is this a new policy?

They can't really withdraw a policy once it's been issued, so that's possibly why yours is still valid.

WTF.... no way! Is this true? I gotta ring them up and find out.

Yep was going to go full comp with the mazda through them until I found that out so told em to shove it. When I got the GTR I rang and asked the same question and they said same thing even though the car is worth 25K plus!! Farken joke if you ask me and I think a few people would be getting some nasty surprises if they need to make a claim.

They may have changed it in the last year but I doubt it. I would check ASAP!

I will stick with LSV, they even do laid up cover for a car that isn't on the road, and also restoration cover which includes parts you have in your garage!

They didn't even ask to see the car when I insured with them! CRAZY!!!

I didn't bother with Just Cars either as they only give 10k back for an import if it is stolen and not recovered no matter what you are insured for! FAIL!!!

????????? That's if you only have Third Party Fire and Theft. If you have Comprehensive with an Agreed Value you'll get back exactly what it's insured for.

i'm still freaked ur paying 1.5k with Shannons for your car. Just got my renewal form in front of me, 750 for a GTST at 25k for full comp, and Ive made a least one major claim in the last 5 years with that car.

Not the GTSt, new car GTR... insured for 40K... when they asked if it had any mods I said yes... they said what is modified... I said everything lol

Yep thanks Dane, I might give RACV a call after LSV... LSV sound like they want people business so going to try there first

Mine's in a private garage now anyway, luckily. :blink:

I don't think I've ever had my car inspected by an insurer, crazy indeed! Especially with the long list of mods and relatively high insured value.

Ah no, that was for Full comprehensive with agreed value (on the Mazda) for $17000, back when I first got it insured Just cars were only giving $5000 if stolen and not recovered, they upped it to $10000 couple of years back. I was a bit naughty back then with the speeding so my premium was $4500 a year with a $2500 excess, My car would have been payed off in premiums in 4 years!! FK That!! I had to go 3rd party as no one else would insure me and I couldn't afford that top $$ on apprentice wages!

They are assholes with repairs too. I had to get my car repaired once when 3rd party through them and it took ages and results were so bad I had to take it back... TWICE! And this was Just Cars AAMI approved repairer!

I seriously would check your contracts to see if they will give you the full cover back on an unrecovered vehicle

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞

      I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I saw your intro update, are you sure you've actually had a starter motor failure? You mention it could be the alarm causing it. I'm assuming you've got a no start issue, but what are the exact symptoms, as there could be a few reasons it has stopped wanting to start.
