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

      Anyone running the VQ37VHR with forced induction?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Absolutely matters because, while a temperature change will eventually reach a sensor at the end of a static line, the response time is far far far too slow to be useful. Might as well not have a temp gauge at all.

      When I was eyeing off the 370GT (after deciding I didn't want to spend 30-40k+ to relive my early 20s in an R33) I thought it'd be a good project to add a turbo to it. Now that I have a 370GT, and I've had a couple of chances to open it up, I'm pretty stunned by how much power it makes 🫠 Honestly, the way the VVEL opens it up, it almost feels like there's a little turbo tucked away in there somewhere. It's like Nissan looked at VTEC and said "hold my beer" 😁 Has anyone thrown a turbo into their 370Z or 370GT? Is there a conservative boost level you can run without having to upgrade the fuel system, or are bigger injectors and a bigger pump a given?
