how do people get skylines insured with shannons?? iv called them about 3 times to enquire about my skyline after hearing other people say they are with them and they say they dont do skylines/imports... even there website you can get a quote on skylines.. wtf?

I guess you need to show them that you are a motoring enthusiast. When I joined them over 10yrs ago (when I brought a series 2 R33 GTS-T) they asked me alot of questions about cars that I had owned and things I had done with them.

I've had a few skylines with them and never had a problem. Oh, and I am an old fart to :blush:

you need a garage with shannons, unless you have a locally delivered car

also your suburb might be high risk etc. depends on a few thing. also i dont think they insure under 25s

im 28, suburb is low risk. the car is locked in a garage. i have another car with with Shannons already also, so they konw all my details and what im doing. one speeding ticket in the past 6-7 years. no claims ever (touch wood).. seems odd

Garage is a must for Shannons.

For me, Shannons is the best for modified cars and car enthusiasts, not heard any bad things of them.

I am with HBF now and they are ok too. After I change my car, I might try going with Shannons.

hehe racv online quotes are Vic only, ill still give a go after the long weekend but i very much doubt they will cover in NSW....+ i just ran a practice quote to see the price even if i was living in melbourne and it gave 2.8k.....

Yeah same, from memory. Nowhere close to Just Car's price.

paying $145 a month with rating 1 protection for life, windscreen cover, rental car after accident etc. agreed value of $45,000 on a 370GT coupe

mind you i am in my 30's

I'm 33. Just Cars do me for $1300.

Shannons would do me back when I was a rating 1. They wanted like $2.8k, double Just Cars price. My R34 did have an attempted theft which I think impacted the claim.

To be fair I must say I've had great service from Just Cars. I used to think they were the McDodge company high risk people are forced to go with, but every dealing I've had with them has been excellent. They've been great every dealing with them, a human answers the phone, and the 20-somethings on the phone are always knowledgeable, courteous and helpful.

Just cars seem like an absolute joke is something which I've learnt over the last few days. Had my car broken into smashed my drivers side windscreen. and I have to pay the full access to have the drivers side window replaced.

Mind you.. $500 is a lot cheaper to get it sorted compared to being quoted $900 by obriens (window only) and $1.3k by nissan australia (Window only)

there also seems to be a shortage of drivers side windows in victoria (and im thinking the country?

But yes, I'm thinking of moving my policy across through back to RACV just did a quote just then and the annual premium is 1.9k (which is about $200 more than my current annual premium) and I get better cover....

Mind you i'm 27 with no prior claims.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
