Well shannons wouldn't insure me for a nur and when i tried to put it in my dads name they said he had to call. They also mentioned because of the car it is that it would be restricted only to him so i wouldn't be covered. But i looked in their policy disclosure statement and there is nothing saying they can do that.

Just cars has specifically mentioned in their pds that you must be on the policy to be covered so you don't really have a choice.

Yeah, when i went through shannons for my GTR the guy said that they are very reluctant to even offer insurance on GTRs for guys aged under 25...according to him, skylines have been costing shannons alot of money.

Also, I dont think putting it in your parents name is going to make a difference, because you will still need to put yourself down as the most frequent driver, and as a result the premium goes back up, I checked it out a few years back using the online quoting system.

Nah you don't actually have to be on the policy to be covered with shannons. Page 7 of their pds says that an additional age excess applies when a driver under 25 who is not on the policy is using the vehicle.

So if its in your parents name and you have an accident in it your still covered. With just cars its different because they have a disclaimer which specifically states you must be on the policy.

Insurance is a *****!! Ive been with just car for around 2 and a half years... had my onevia, r33 gts-t and my wrx with them.. never had a problem with them as they were all under 1500 with a roughly est of 1500 excess... but recently i bought a r34 gt-t and they will only offer 3rd party because its got pearl paint??? so the only company that will insure me is shannons which is still around 1600 but with a 1500 excess... its so annoying!!! but at the end of the day, rather be safe then sorry right ?

Yeah mate small good guess it pays being a bouncer and learning how to deal with these situations but yeah insurance is calling it normal wear and tear and age it sucks best I will get is panel and paint work done the guy who stole it has pretty much destroyed from crank back including clutch so if paint stuff gets done it will still leave me about 10k out of pocket for mechanical so just be careful and read the PDs

For just cars only people who will insure an 18 going on 19, 3-3.5k a year 326 a month 2400 excess best part? Took a corner too fast the other day hit some gravel over corrected and lost control o the baby and smacked into a parked car luckily it's insured for 23k parts alone are already up to 6k (minor front end damage).

So yeah insuring these bad girls is a bitch but owning them is heaven.

Should have my baby back on the road in 1-2 weeks.

That's comprehensive so I thought it was pretty decent for my age.

you got a garage eric?

missed this one, always garaged and fully locked up. actually got 4 cars and house and contents with Shannons. They are brilliant with claims, got my old gtst smashed into in a carpark, they came to my work and assessed it, used my own panel beater with no problems as well. :thumbsup:

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
