HBF every time!!! theyve insured all my imports excellent service and cheap cheap!! my stag fully comp just shy of $600 a year not bad for a turbo import ... my 300zx TT was the same and my 180 and silvia were a lil more cos they were the first cars i insured with them.

When my 180 got broken into they were awesome ... got it sorted in a day =)

im with just cars im 99% sure and with a rb25 its $1000 a year for 21 year old with 65% no claims and garage storage etc, and for the rb26 engine without increasing the value (insured for 19K) its $1100 a year instead, not bad i dont reckon. wait till i mention i want to up the value to 30K or something and then we shall see what they charge.

cheers

Tried to contact HBF - Health Benefit Fund. They are WA based and wont cover any cars registered outside WA.

If I wasn't living in God's own state I would think about moving..

Oh well, life wasn't meant to be easy - just sunny...every day.

CruiseLiner,

If you have any dramas insuring it for $30K, PM me :D

hey mate, do u happen to work at just cars? i've actually spent around 35k on the car in the past 6 months (thats just parts, not the car itself, not the rb26 engine conversion, and not labour)

how would i go about getting it valued for more than that? its getting out of control and last thing i want is it getting stolen and losing 30K worth of gear cause its only insured for 30K, 30k wouldnt even cover a stock rb26 conversion at all, let alone the engine build, brembo brakes, susp, etc etc.

any info appreciated

Brad

Any one after;

Agreed Value

Choice of Repairer (lifetime guarantee on those repairs)

Gday Brad,

You may, or may not, remember me. I came and looked at your VL Calais when you were selling it!

I work for Shannons Ins, Im unsure as to our Just Cars would go about insuring your Stagea for $30K+, but I can tell you now, that that value wouldnt be a problem with us especially after reading about your build up so far.

arrh k, no sorry i dont remember u exactly, had lots of lookers for the VL in the end, and how do i go about value, is it the reciepts u have for brand new parts added up or what?

ill definately be in contact when i get it running again :D

I have a cover note with Unique for $1135. 40 yo, never had a claim, A1 rating etc etc. Seems a bit high, Shannons was higher.... although I would reconsider if they come up with a better rate :(

Huge thanks to 8005TED for organising the insurance on the stagea. 

i am already a customer of Shannon's (for my GTS-t), the prompt response and price provided was great. 

happy little wolv.  :(

Glad to help out mate :P

Luke, PM sent :wub:

  • 1 month later...
is price the single only issue when looking for insurance?

Nope,

Reputation & Service, Shannons wasn't the cheapest quote I got but I went with them as they did give me a better deal, agreed value, extras and cover for additional items (at no extra cost), excess is also an important issue, you don't want your car insurance to be like private health cover and be left with massive gaps if you need to call on it! (I sound a liitle too much like the TV ad now)

Cost is the most important thing, until you need to make a claim... then you want the other stuff to kick in big time I'd say!

Speaking as a policy holder and not having made a claim.

Luke

Great to hear your happy with the cover Luke, and Im happy to continue helping SAU members where I can.

I guess you never really appreciate your insurer and the cover they offer until you find yourself making a claim.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
