All Mods (which reminds me to add another one on there)

agreed value $20k

rating 1

not bad for my first car and first insurance

Edited by BigDirtyJase
does anyone know of an insurer that will insure for agreed value, but only third party property/fire and theft?

i don't need comprehensive, i just don't want to lose $20k if it gets stolen..

just cars dont do it anymore. anyone that thinks they do better check thier policy. i just got my renewal notice only to find they only cover up to $10k on fire and theft. if u want more cover u have to go full comp. i called them and one of their ppl told me it had been that way as long as he had worked there (2005). which was a surprise to me because ive only ever had fire and theft cover and i always asked for agreed value. so make sure u read ur PDS every time they send u one. cos they dont tell u about changes to cover, they just send u a new PDS and if u dont read it u could be in for a shock.

Just cars... $1133

C34 Series 2 Stagea RS4-S insured for $19500 in Melbourne. 26, rating 1, not claims, fines or lost licences ever.

Lumley was over $1250 and didn't get back to me with a quote for over a week and a half.

Shannons was $1385. Once again no-one can match just cars's price for me.

The agreed value on mine has dropped since it was first insured in '04 (see page 1 of this thread). The premium is now about $600, value is now about $14k (which is still a good price for an S1 with 110k on the clock). I'm 32 on rating 1 and get the multi-car discount with Shannons (we have the Z, 1200 ute, Skyline, house & contents insured through them - gotta love the enthusiast cover for parts/tools).

im with a mob called dga. there a 4wd only insurer so stageas are covered. have to be over 25 though. i chose the under 10,000 kms a year policy and paying $540 a year with an agreed value of 18 grand and a $200 excess. the policy is unlimited mods glass break etc. i think the over 10k policy was 780ish

  • 4 years later...

I just called Shannons for a quote to insure a stock '05 pnm35

I'm over 30, rating 1, never had an infringement or accident of any sort. have a secure lock up garage etc

$1412.77 pa with a $550 excess

$117 per month, does that seem a little high to anyone else?

I like the free windscreen/glass cover but that still seems high, I thought there were meant to be benefits to getting old.

I would rather the better policy than the cost savings if I had to choose.

Who did I speak to? I rang the hotline, pressed 1 and got some guy... I want to say his name was... Brent or Brett, however that doesn't sound right at all. :P

    • 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).
