great, just what shannons needs....more young people in imports to work for them.

they need to go back to their roots and have more muscle car fans/enthusiasts working for them.

I can see everyones premiums going up with the new business these guyys will be putting on

heaps mad.

why are you implying that people need to own a muscle car to be an enthusiast?

last time I checked, age nor the car they drive has any bearing upon enthusiasm. Dumb comment.

-D

Could be interesting though having an import enthusiast working at Shannons with inside knowledge of the mods import owners are making. I see alot of claims being denied if honesty/loyalty (to Shannons) was enforced by employee.

I wouldn't say a dumb comment at all :P

just don't winge when yr premiums go up to compensate

that's all I'll say on the matter on a public forum lol

Pretty sure a young, keen employee vs. some older man, who hasn't got anywhere near as much working life in him left, that won't grow as much within the company is better.

What difference is it going to make with a younger person working for the company as far as your premiums are worth? Young kids are going to get insured by them whether the person be young or old on the other side of the phone....? Drop kick.

Shouldn't make a difference to premiums at all.

Would be interesting though if someone made a claim and it were denied because the younger import savvy employee sends an assessor to look for e.g. a ebc/pfc ect ect ect in your car.

I just rang Shannons (along with a number of other specialty insurers) today for a quote on a multiple car policy.

Over the last 12 years of import ownership, I’ve had my share of good and bad experiences. I’ve seen almost everything, companies with seemingly outstanding customer service and very comprehensive and competitively priced policies, only to be let down when renewing my policy despite no claims or issues from my end at all. Sometimes it’s all comes down to the actions of other policyholders with the same car.

That all said I found Shannons to be very competitive by comparison to a number of other insurers in the market. It also pays to shop around every few years; you never know how cheap another insurer is prepared to go, one insurer offered $100 off after I said the quote was too steep. It also helps to combine multiple policies through the one insurer – cars, contents, etc. Limited and Extreme Limited Use is another option for those with once in a blue moon garage toys – up to $300 difference in some cases.

Correct

the big thing with Shannon is they want the car in a lock up garage, a Skyline cant be kept in the drive way

that being said they insured my Ti pintara with scratch and dent for $4700 even written on the policy scratch and dent and they know thats in my driveway but its not a targeted car for theft

i was always happy with the level of service i had from Famous and i hear someone else is happy with them too (wont say who but they know who im talking about)

Well, Justcars give me the shits and Shannons wont insure me. :P Rant rant rant.

is that due to your age or that you dont have the car in a lockup garage?

I remember when I got my first quote from shannons, they insisted it would have to be in a lock up garage.... and my father is going senile and sometimes forgets to lock the mechanism after taking his mercedes out, so I ended up rather paranoid for a while. I figure tho, it being in a garage, with a clublock, immobiliser and alarm, 2 dogs and a katana nearby for good measure, the car aint going anywhere...

-D

i have a locked gate, with a locked roller door and 2 locked cars in front of it. Security shouldnt be an issue. Age is probably the issue, however, what makes my rating 2 any different from a 40 year old with a rating 2?

hrm dunno. strange thing is, i managed to keep a rating 1 over the last few years, and thats even after crashing my car while DUI... had a $200 premium paid to AAMI back in the day and they kept me at rating 1 in spite of the DUI crash and then writing off my R31 about a year later

Go figure. Doesn't quite seem fair to me.

hmm i dont get what your trying to say here man...

i thought that, despite who they have working for them no matter what they drive, like or age, before the claim or can get approval for insurence it has to go through some sort of safe gaurds like their computer system or superior of some kind.

they person on the phone doesnt just get to say yes or no.

a freind of mine has his limited edition monty carlo vr4, mira, another galant, an old school gts manaro and since hes co-owner of my drift car, that too. all mods are listed too.

since hes young but drives an import and an old school muscle car, would that still make him a bad employee because he drives an import too? a car enthusiast is a car enthusiast no matter what car they own or age.

not having a go dude, just dont like sterotyping :)

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
