So, apparently every insurers decide to jack up on the price this year.

Awaiting for an email from LSV regarding a quote after I'd contacted them last evening.

If it's still a complete joke, time to consider buying something else which I'd struggle to get myself to viewing/test-drive/researching/etc...

I just changed over to Shannons last week from Just Car.

Now $1720

Agreed Value $40,000

All Mods listed.

Rating 1

Age: 37

Just Car wanted 1850 with agreed value of only $30,000

Also something to ad about Shannons....

I've also got house and contents with em, and i've had to make a claim when some low life muppet scum stole my mountain bike from my garage. They were nothing but AWESOME, and i got paid out current market value of my mountain bike (minus excess of $200).

Dealing with Shannons is very easy!

Check out my thread which I posted about 2 months ago. The bastards at Just Car put mine up $1400 and I've made NO CLAIMS!! When I called to lose my sh!t at them they told me it was becuase of the floods in QLD and the hail in VIC.......thieves. Lumleys and Shannons are MUCH better if you can convince them to cover you. Better on price, much much better on service. Just car is aimed at younger guys who drive imports with no other insurance options to turn to, so they exploit this fact and charge ridiculous amounts for their cover.

I got another quote for the BRZ - and it's gone up, $1550. I'll be shopping around once the time comes, although I like being with Shannons I cannot justify that much money for full comp at my age and Rating 1 for life.

i've called racv out of curiosity. 26yr old male no prev accident history etc etc....they have no "market value" for the r34 gtt so on an agreed value of $16.5k it came to be just under $1,200 a year.....which isn't bad really.

Called up justcar they wanted $2.8k.....go figure, ill probably go with racv

So glad I saw this thread, I've just started shopping around for insurance because Just cars are charging me $1700 for insurance on the R32 gtr, Shannons just quoted me $1800 with agreed value or 25k on a limited 1-2 days a week use. List of mods (standard stuff: ecu, zorst, coilovers, wheels) I've had a no claim history and one speeding fine I'm rating 1 and 26yo. I thought that Shannons we're supposed to be really good to go with and I've got friends with the same model car using them and their policies are $500 cheaper.

Insurance companies using that as justification for a rise just means call another company... I've had no such increase with Shannons.

shannons didn't increase mine... i know jci increased krysisisisiu's

Can you guys please stop talking up shannons? They wont take me until I'm 25 :(

haven'd had a crash yet have you ;)

THIS

I spoke to Shannon's 26 rating 1 no claims fines etc they were 1k more than JCI!

JCI tried to put my premium up $250-300 at renewal I rang and said get stuffed I'll go elsewhere so they left it the same rate which I was fine with on my Lexus was $1300p.a no ridiculous excess and 48k agreed value just got my a5 no extra charge and agreed value is even higher so can't complain..

Can you guys please stop talking up shannons? They wont take me until I'm 25 :(

yes they will, they just dont do an online quote if your under 25.

you need to call them.

I live in Hallam, am 22, and they insured me. guy actually laughed at me when I said "I thought you didnt insure until 24yo"

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
