Hi guys not sure if this has been covered already (and yes I done a search). I'm looking at renewing my policy and think that I might be getting short changed possibly.

Currently insured with just car and I want to see what are the competitors. Shannons didn't want to insure me because I am under 25 :)

What are ppl paying for comp on a r33-t?

im 23, 33gtr, full comp, agreed value, lots of mods, shannons all the way.

just cars wanted double the premium and triple the excess than what shannons charge me now.

lots of people comment how i managed to get insurance with them whilst under 25 and i really dont know - i just called up, got a quote, compared with just cars and struck a deal with shannons.

by far best insurance company out there for modified cars.

u got lucky shannons wont touch anyone under 25 so there is nobody other then just cars for young people.. im 23 and both cars are with them even for my is250 they were the best because of my age.. its bs really!

there are some others but they have ridiculous conditions ie. not covered while parked on the street..

I was told that anyone under 25 can still get insurance from Shannons, as long as you tell them you are with a car club? (SAU)

come to think of it they did ask me if i was part of car club and i did mention i was a sau member so maybe thats the trick..

19, R34, Just cars... Agreed value 20K with full comp.

$2,900 first year for premium with $1,500 for excess

Second year I renewed it was either $1,600 premium with $1,500 excess or $1,900 with $1,000 excess, so I paid the $1,900 premium just incase anything happens to save the extra $500 on excess.

29yrs old, r33 gtst, just cars, full comp, rims excess is seperate, $1300 a year, excess from memory is sub $600 for stolen or crash

car value i think is around $15k and been with them for about 5 years

Wow, that's terrible!

I'm 25 & with Shannons (have been for 3 years, prior to that I was with AAMI then Just Cars.) They definitely insure under 25's, you just have to be the right sort of person.

My R34 GT-T is $1,200 per year and insured for $20,000.

My highly modified Pulsar is $1,100 per year on limited use cover and insured for $15,000. I also have full salvage rights to the car at no cost in the event it's written off. I pay a bit extra because of this.

My insurance would be much cheaper save for having my cars insured in a very high risk suburb. Price includes my CAMS license discount.

Hmm. I drive an R34 GT-T and im 20yrs old. I got offered insurance with Shannons over the phone easily. I pay 1.4k a yr for comprehensive insurance, and my excess is $900. Also HBF said they insure skylines with turbos at ages 21 and above. So maybe try Shannons again or even give HBF a call.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
