my quote is 3.5 years old but still with NRMA, $1600/year for $26,000 agreed value. was 24 at the time and in western Sydney.

Still the same policy though!!!

Is it still valued the same? I know they lowered my value this year. Been considering a move.

Well I'm looking for insurance.

I'm currently with Just Car and they have basically raped me for the last 4 years...I haven't had 1 reduction in my insurance in 5 years (and that's after I called them when my insurance went from $120 per month to $186 per month) I'm currently paying $156 (total $1879 10.5k agreed value) per month (up from $136 per month) 32 years old rating 1 no accidents. I pay by the month at the moment because my insurance and registration was at the same time

I've already called Shannons and basically told me where to go....

My experience with Shannons was excellent at all times when I was paying them, but things went sharply downhill when I needed to claim (on 2 occasions), including a case I needed to take to the industry ombudsman after their admin error cost me a lot of money. Keep in mind that despite all the bullshit about being enthusiasts that they are just a brand of Suncorp these days and they act accordingly.

I am now with Lumleys who were about 20% cheaper for the same insurance. Haven't had to claim yet so who knows if they will be just as difficult.

I pay roughly $52 a month for 3rd party fire and theft through nrma. Coverage of up to 10g. The guy on the phone told me to take pictures of everything to prove its worth the money and everything will work in my favor.

Waiting for a phone call tomorrow because they haven't been adding in my ctp for a 10% reduction on both prices.

I don't see a point in spending thousands per year on full comp with a 20yr old car. Don't drive like a dickhead and watch the traffic and you should be fine. You can also pick up a full unreg stag for under 3g these days.

I'll check out lumleys Duncan. I've heard too many bad things about Shannon's.

It's not really about not driving like a dickhead, and watching the traffic. Full comp is best for when the doucher that isn't watching traffic or is driving like a dickhead runs up your ass so hard your car is close to written off and he gets out and goes "f@$k mate I got no insurance"

Then you're screwed without it. This happens heaps.

If you don't value your car enough to get it fair enough, I've never bothered going full comp with anything worth less than $10k.

Why would Shannons not cover you? They are by far the best option, but you need to prove you are an enthusiast.

I can't remember the reason now (it was a long time ago)...I must had a idiot on the phone....I think it was they won't insure my car for some unknown reason...but I may try again shortly

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
