Lumleys Insurance is chasing business > undercutting Shannons and Just Car where they can; (but don't know for how long). Shannons is extremely touchy about even 1-2 traffic violations combined with young age and the suburb where the car is garaged. Guild Insurance has now cut themselves off from grey import insurance.

LSV stopped doing Imports 18-24 months ago, and wouldn't insure my GTR - even though the GTS-R was insured with them. So i cancelled and went to Shannons.

Have they altered their policy again?

Yes Ash, with adverts on radio too. We have 2x GTRs with LSV &1x with Guild under grandfather clause. LSV did our paperwork from Melbourne too.

FYI OP, Shannons and LSV offer choice of repairer. Just Car doesn't.

Try RACV for a quote, we've had a discussion a while ago that they insure the Skyline.

NRMA insures grey imports up here too (like RACV) but the "Sum Insured" offered is quite lame. RACV is the same?

Depending on your age I really recommend going with just car, I insured my 33 GTST last year (male, 20, Hawthorn) and compared to other quotes I got from Shannon's and RACV they really offered a better price than the competitors.

Any reason you want to change from Just Car or are you just curious about other prices? I found they were much cheaper than other companies for someone in their early 20s driving an import.

Yes their excess is quite high but they seem to pay out more than others.

My old R33 was insured through Allianz for about 10k with 1k excess, my current R33 is insured through Just Car for 15k with excess just under 2k.

Interesting... Called them up. They won't come removely close to the Agreed Value Shannons were putting forward. So Lumley are still a waste of time unfortunately for a highly modded import :)

Also got a quote out of Enthusiast Underwriting, they've met the Agreed Value that Shannons have offered, and have beaten the premium by $250. Excess is better also ($1000 vs $1500). They offer choice of repairer & one windscreen a year (if damaged)

Just going through the rest of the PDS at the moment.

But with what excess?

Ive been with just car before...wasn't a fan of the service

I <3 Shannon's

This. People praising JCI obviously haven't had to make a claim. They make every step of the process drawn out and painful and you have to argue for every little crumb they will give you. Shannons for me was cheaper and better peace of mind, that said I'm almost 24 now so my 3 speeding fines and an at fault claim didn't ruffle them.

Yeah excess with JCI is high, but also if you increase you're excess it can drop your premium by a fair bit.

Being a dickhead when I was younger meant there was no chance of me getting insurance through them, but I would definitely consider switching to them in the future. Still if you're young and and an under 25yo with an import I really don't see a lot of other options!

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
