I think choice of repairer is very important, especially for Skylines. I don't think Just Car have this?

Have you asked Just Cars yet?

Doesn't hurt to ask or just call Shannons again and ask to speak to someone in a higher position to help you out.

A few ppl did that in a last Insurance Thread a while back.

I'm with JC and I have choice of repairer.

Infact I just made a claim with my full comprehensive insurance. I need to get 2 quotes, one of which from a Just Cars repairer, the other from whoever I want. The work can be carried out by my choice of Panel Beater.

Anyone with Shannons and doens't have there car in a garage?

I just got knocked back - mine is in a carport at the rear of an apartment block (not visible from the street). Wondering if I should try and ring again?

I have 3 cars that can't fit into a 2 car garage unless I get the Smarts

I told Shannons (with my 2-car policy) that my Honda & Nissan are garaged - and they are most of the time.

But they can't hold it against me or any policyholder if the car is simply parked out the front for a while eh?

My Honda was parked indoors yesterday - but my wife's BM is in there to-day.

imo there over priced.

just cars, cheaper and pretty much offer the same services.

That's weird, Shannons quoted me almost $1000 cheaper than Justcar :(

To bad at the last moment they asked me if I had a garage... which I don't...

Almost exactly my situation.

nope thats not a good idea. you can guarantee if there is a big claim it will be investigated, and if they decide you didn't follow the conditions then you might as well not have been insured at all

i'd be calling back and state your parents address or something and it is locked up there in a garage most of the time!

Well the car would HAVE TO BE IN THEIR GARAGE MOST OF THE TIME ! !

Because if the car is stolen, the insurance company is often likely to send out an investigator.

The investigator will interview each resident separately.

Any inconsistency like Duncan says, will leave you up the creek without a paddle.

That's how the system works!

call "famous car insurance" you can pay monthly and they insure imports, i got a quote from them and was pretty happy with my full comp quote, I live in an average area under a car port and yeh still a good rate... guna get it done shortly

I just got a quote from famous, my quote from justcars was $1030 or $1107 for pay by the month with the car insured for $12500, which they had dropped from $15000 agreed value, standard excess of $500.

Famous quoted me $1590 or 1701 for pay by the month with an agreed value of $15000, standard excess of $1000.

Another point is that with justcars my stereo is insured for another $3000 but contents insurance was not offered through famous, if my car gets stolen and never recovered/destroyed with justcars the excess is $2000 with all up insurance of $15500, through famous the excess is $2000 and insured for $15000.

Thats my comparison of the two, shannons was about the same as famous but the excess was the same as just cars.

Yes

I wouldn't bother trying again though, unless you have special circumstances (not that I do, but I have a number of factors on my side which make me not that much of a risk). If all you've got is that you are not visible from the street, then I don't think you will have much luck..

The problem with just cars is they don't do an agreed value :D

I've been with JC for my last 3 cars incl. my current R34 and when renewing my insurance they wanted to drop the agreed value $2k or so and I told them not good enough, so I got a call back and they were happy to leave it at the previous insured value ($22k iirc) because I've been with them for a while (and even though I made a big claim on a previous car) so I'm pretty happy with JC, they haven't screwed me over *yet*.

how does shannons compare in price vs justcar for a daily drive (R34) ? Anyone been with JC and switched to Shannons ? From memory my premium with std. excess was close to $2k ($22k agreed) and I'm 28 with 60% NCB good driving record and live in a low crime suburb ie. not western sydney :dry:

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
