just got off the phone with Shannons Insurance...

Not impressed.

1st - they don't know my car. That's fine, not many people do.

2nd - after telling them every little bit of detail about my past infringments/mods etc he comes back and says "we can't insure you because your car has too many mods. It needs to be in a garage"

3rd - I told him as I'm moving to a new house soon which HAS a lockup garage, can he give me a quote. He goes for another 10 min and then comes back and said "no, we can't give u a quote until you've moved into a house with a garage".

I guess I need to ring up again and lie just to get a f**king quote. idiots...wasting both our time. If they don't/can't want to insure me just f**king say so from the start...

Thank goodness JCI's online portal is so easy to use...

They should; several other forum members are insured with them. I had no issues.

I've heard of this before; I think it really depends who you get on the line when you ring, try again.

Bye stagea people, I no longer own any nissans, Just moved interstate and didnt sell the bucket(accent) in time so will just keep it for a while and not have anything fast(also to much cool shit coming out in the next year to buy new now!), I seem to get the train to work anyway and its better to have something I can park at the station and it uses f**k all fuel.

Farewell.

Agreed.

I have been with Shannon's since day 1... which literally was day 1 for M35 Stagea's!

Jethro - The dude you got will be going by Redbook which only states ARX models last time I checked.

Strange as I have never had any issues with any of the Shannon's people I have spoken to.

Also odd is that there isn't a limit on mods... just some of them will bump up your premium considerably (turbo, boost controller, engine management are biggies).

Maybe you got a new guy on a bad day? Dunno. Try them again.

Maybe...

Funny too - the guys said "since your car has so many mods it needs to be in a garage..." and "we'll need to having driver restrictions since its a very hi powered vehicle...."

I didn't even tell him any power figures! meh...

I might try again when I've moved into my new place I guess.

i had no problems with mods either, put around 8-10k of mods on the car and premium went up around $200 per year i think

yes ALL imports need a garage with shannons, locally delivered cars dont. which is weird, my fiat is probably more rare than the stagea, and i dont have to garage it.......

c'ya Ryan, take care mate

sent PM wishing you well

washed the stag on the weekend :D

I cant believe how shiny it is when you wash it after a month (or so) worth of dirt!!!

(but then I see all the little bits that need detailing too sad.gif )

Oh...I should wash my car.....I haven't given my car a wash in about 2 months....let's just say a mate of mine goes to me....your car is turning cream (it should be pearl white)....that's how long I haven't washed it for...it's been either too cold or raining to get it washed

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
