Shannons do my contents insurance.

Good thing about them is garage cover up to 10k I think, so wheels, tools and memorabilia etc. if they get stolen.

Don't you have to have it for your loan?

that's one of my requirements for our house loan. (house insurance not so much contents)

Got building insurance through body corporate but contents isn't covered as far as im aware.. real estate gurus can confirm?

Edit: yeah i want to go with someone that will cover my trailer behind gates too. 

When I was like 10 my parents got stooged my KLX125 got stolen (small dirt bike) AAMI said it's not covered under contents, argument was its basically a pocket bike that has no rego or anything and that they'd been with AAMI for 25 years etc.

My Just Car policy has somewhat automatically switched over to their underwriters AAMI. The TPF&T cover is exactly the same, but their premium is $260 instead of the $400 JC charged me...go figure? They seem to have a much higher excess ($1200) than JC did, so maybe that's why...

Wonder if the move was just to consolidate or to force customers into lower premium / higher excess options?

$260 a quarter? agreed value or market? I'm guessing agreed as market value on a R33 would be sheit these days 

I got 10k agreed on my road regoed dirt bike.. tempted to ride it to the station or cinemas one night when ready to sell, surely it'd be gone hah.

I don't like leaving it anywhere, no key and can start it up and ride off

third party sounds right for 260 a year, I was $131 on the S14.

you can adjust the excess back down to the original value and your premium will go back to around the original. 

 

really depends on what you want and where it parked.

A year...

It's third party fire and theft which is almost always market value. But up to 10k which is max for theft anyway. Wasn't difficult to argue Leesh's R33 was worth 10k when that got stolen and realistically it was probably worth 6-7.

Not doing comp insurance on a GTS-T...Shannons wanted $1200 a year for it lol

They offered me the same on our M35 stag, 260 with 1200 excess. I hope they offer me the same on the gtst. Birds, did you have any mods listed for yours?

Yes all my legal mods were listed with JC just for disclosure. Not listed on the AAMI replacement policy, but I haven't had a chance to amend it. There is a line on there about fitted options/accessories/modifications being included in the amount you're covered for, which is only 10k anyway, so it's probably less relevant to third party than comprehensive where you could claim extra for mods. Unless you're concerned about disclosure and being denied a TPF&T claim because of modifications not mentioned.

Yeah, I'm more concerned about having a claim denied due to unknown mods. Like you, I had only listed legal mods. Most of my stuff is concealed well and doesn't look too out of place, except for the roll cage lol. I may have to rethink that one.

Fk me, the dumb connections people draw while trying to be offended...they want the AFL to do something about him cause he was wearing a footy top at the same time? What's it got to do with football or other supporters? Will Nike ban him from their stores cause he wears their shoes lol

Roll cage isn't illegal though is it? just say you do track days with it and surely theyd be fine..

 

full cage is not legal, half cage is if your car has been modified to be a 2 seater, so you have to pull the rear seats/belts and get it checked at vicroads.

Not illegal if engineered

Pretty sure those rules have now changed, even a half cage needs to be signed off by an engineer and then car must be registered as 2 seater. Cars that are already regod as 2 seater on old rules are ok i believe. So, i either remove it or roll the dice. Decisions, decisions.

How are 18 years old going to register their illegally modified 86's for $30k without just car around?

I guess there's not many NA supras getting around with 10k stereos and 500 wheels anymore... Times are a changing.

 

You COULD get a full cage engineered. But who the f**k is going to run normal seats and a full cage? Fixed back seats not allowed. Then you'd need engineered for every other modification. Engineer says good luck or pay me thousands to say no.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
