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.

got both cars and the house insured with them now.

dont they only require driving record from the last 5 years??

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.

    • I get you, we’ll see I’m aiming for 200ish kw now and hopefully 300rwkw down the line after some upgrades maybe like headstuds, E85 flex fuel etc  so trying to make it final for that now, I can get a GTT airbox for $280 so it’s not too bad but not sure if there’s better ways to spend that money. I seen online they say pod filter which isn’t enclosed isn’t good especially for a plus T.      hard to say what to do
    • Meh. How much power can you make from a +T anyway? I wouldn't have though it would be enough to challenge the airbox. It's not as if it's tiny compared with the turbo one. As to putting a pod in a stock airbox .... it's not the filter element that would be restrictive. It would be the air inlet to the box that would be the narrow point, which you could open up regardless of what element was inside. On my R32 I opened up the sort of triangular opening in the bottom front corner of the box, deformed (heated, moulded) some 4" stormwater pipe to fit to that opening and punched a 4" hole down through the inner guard to the spot where the stock intercooler used to be. This was purely in the search for a cold intake, but you could do something similar if you need to open up the inlet side of it. The AFM tube size is the same for both NA and turbo, so the outlet from the airbox is same same anyway. If you're going to do the right thing, then an aftermarket ECU won't care about the AFM (ie, you can get rid of it). But even if it was still there, people pull >300rwkW through them all day, and I suspect you won't be going there.
    • R34 RB25de Neo by the way ^ 
    • Doing a +T on my car and I’ve read the precious forums lots of mixed reviews from sometime back.  checking if anyone has any ideas for airbox or enclosed pod filter or solutions?  I was thinking stock GTT box but some say it’s restrictive? I seen some people try fit in a pod in the box anyone done that recently?  not any good enclosed options ? Thanks
