this will definitely be useful, as i may be inspecting a 34 next week!

The NRMA PDS has so many omissions in it > bit of a nightmare > had to rely on a 10 min phone conversation with staff.

Just Car PDS will be perused next - again, sorry for the delay to this thread as well as PMs.

Well, just called up 2 brokers in Sydney. Asked about "nissan skyline".

1. Sorry we don't do those vehicles, we are a relatively small broker and only do mums and dads types of cars. =(

2. advice given: It would be much cheaper to go direct to the insurance company than to go through a broker for this type of vehicle.

also just tried to get an online GIO quote, BROKE THE WEBSITE

Learning as we go!

At last...

Just Car PDS details have now been posted throughout "Topic Headings" in Posts #2 to 11.

Another insurance company that covers 'grey imports' may be added to the above mix next week.

GLASS BREAKAGE & LOCK DAMAGE

Shannons:- Once during a period of insurance, every glass panel is covered (fixed or moveable) without any need to pay "excess". Moulding is not covered if due to aging. Chips and cracks that do not extend through the entire thickness, or affect integrity, are not covered.

Locks, keys and barrels are not mentioned and are therefore unlikely to be covered.

See Terry here's where some of the information you are providing is incorrect.

* Shannon's will not cover sunroofs.

* Theft of keys and recoding is covered but of course limitations do apply.

I don't want to hack on this thread but I don't believe it's a good idea to be trying to provide this type of information if you don't work in this industry, especially if its incorrect.

Read the PS on Post #1 again!

It says that the Shannons 2006 PDS will be updated!!!

They talked to me today, and they will send out the latest PDS on Monday!!!

According to the 2006 PDS, what I've posted is correct.

You've never asked me about any experience that I've had in dealing with car insurance. In fact, you've never even PM'd me either!

I've written psycho-legal reports for victims of MVAs and sat in case conferences with both traffic lawyers and survivors. Terms of reference (including car insurance and CTP) were then furnished to me, to subsequently write reports.

There is a difference in working in the industry to dealing with them

So I've gone to 5 chemists i should list about medication advice? No.

Anyway, how you interpret a pds to how someone else does to how the company does are 3 different things and is best to leave it to the individual to ring the said company. In terms of wrong info you haven't asked me for correct info on Dawes and you have left if there, as you know I'm the manager there. I don't like to advertise that cause I get people pming me for quotes, cheap prices and advice etc.

Anyhoo, last I'll post in here and my last words of advice.

- ring each insurer for quotes. Shop around

- read their pds for exclusions, limitations. Conditions, features

-compare apples with apples

- don't be price driven

Contact insurance council of Australia for other insurers.

If you deal with an insurer, make sure they are part of the code of practice. More rules insurer deals with.

If you har a complaint, write to them first. Then if not satisfied go to higher management/IDR process. If

Not rectified ten financial ombudsman

What I'd do for this thread is link all pds and point out what pages all details are on so there is no chance of slight interpretation, make everyone read it themselves!

Cheers

Read?... Read?... Read?

Read is different from understand is it not?

Isn't the intention of an insurance company to furnish a PDS to be understood as well as read?

Surely, an insurance company would never ever draw up and distribute a PDS that couldn't be understood! Never!

So if one is to understand a PDS, how can he/she not compare one to another before making a decision?

I've spent hours joining the 'dots' and the PMs I've been getting tell me it's been well worth it.

VOILA!

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA

      That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope!
