Hey all

Does anyone who is under 25 have comprehensive/3rd party insurance up here. Every place i ring either doesnt insure skylines in the NT or not for under 25 year olds?

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

Shannons used to insure under 25's but you will need to check with them. You can try JUST CAR insurance on 131326. They will insure anyone - its just a matter of cost. Have you bought a car yet or have you found one?

Cheers m8,

Ken

Where were you on sat nite??

I rang shannons and they have stopped insuring imports for a period of time, but they couldnt tell me how long? Just cars dont insure in the NT and all the others either had the same reason "don't insure in the NT" or "Skylines are a risk" oh and the old favourite under 25. :hellpisd:

I have one question though when you register a car doesnt the car come with 3rd party?

And on Sat we had a piss up at work so i was blind by 7 always a next time :)

Have you tried Young & Cool in Brissie? The insurance you get with rego isnt worth a pinch of the proverbial. If someone hits you it will be claimed against their insurance (if they have it) but you will not be covered if you hit them (expensive). Are you getting a loan or paying cash? If you are getting a loan your bank (defcredit or otherwise) will require you have an insurance "quote" for he vehicle. If you get a personal loan you can tell them you are getting the money for a holiday, car repairs, debt consolidation etc.

Best of luck,

Ken

I'm with Shannons.

Elders also gave me a pretty good quote. Ring them.

Hi Guys

just for a quick FYI.

I was the second person to buy a R33GTSt skyline (Red) in Darwin (back in early 2000 from memory) but i now live in Brisbane. I had problems with insurance and eventually got shannons to insure me and as such i have talked to the NT Shannons rep numerous times.

The reason shannons stopped insuring skylines/imports in the territory was because there had been several incidents but one day some young wanna be dip sht punk fronted up with his skyline saying he was the best driver on the planet only to write the thing of a week or so later costing Shannons dearly. Hence no more import insurance in the Territory and who can blame shannons for doing it?

Its a shame we are all paying more for insurance because of the stupidity of a few who couldnt be trusted with a 1.3ltr suzuki swift.

I am 23, and with Shannons, but Just Cars would insure me aswell.

The difference between the both is that Shannons have a higher premium cost, but a lower excess fee, and allow you to make monthly payments.

Just Cars have a lower premium, but higher excess if anything was to go wrong, and you can only pay them annually, so you'll have to save for each insurance year.

You might have this sorted already but there is some info.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
