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)

Pay by the Month (at no extra charge)

Free Windscreen cover

Blanket cover for modifications

Professional driving course cover

21yo+ with a relatively clean driving record

PM me for a comprehensive quote :D

yeah PM him, this guy is really good and he will look after members of SAU!

and mate, i will be in touch with you soon for my policy. cheers

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:

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.

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
