I just received the following letter in the mail (abridged):

In addition to a top level comprehensive cover, agreed value and lower rates dependings on usage, Shannons cover for cars [now] includes:

- 14 day vehicle hire if your vehicle is stolen (up yo $1500);

- Cover while taking part in a professional course designed to improve skills on the road;

- Replacement, recoding or rekeying of locks and keys following damage to, or loss or theft of, your keys (up tp $1000);

- Multi-vehicle discount if you insure more than one car or bike with us.

How awesome is that? I haven't called to clarify yet, but I would be quite confident in saying that SAU-organised track/skidpan/driver training days (which are all CAMS approved) fall neatly under that category!!!

So bring on the Shannons insurance, and BRING ON THE TRACKDAYS!!!!

one of the new benefits of our freshly revised policy catering for all you motoring enthusiasts out there :(

you forgot to mention our freshly launched new bike policy too :P

Do you work for Shannons?

If so, can you clarify whether or not SAU (CAMS affiliated) driver training/skid pan/track days are covered by this clause? :(

Would be nice but I was told they wont cover any "timed" events.

Whether they be  racetrack or motorkhana in other words no CAMS events.

Only driver training days...

None of our trackdays are timed. They're all just private practice days.

Skidpan days are timed, but they are very obviously designed with "improving skill on the road", so I would question that the "timing" of the skidpan courses rules these days out.

driver training, definately

track days etc, im 90% no.

definately for driver training courses though, as long as there are licensed instructors/marshalls present.

Yeah, I asked about the track day thing about two weeks ago. It was a no unfortunatey. Only driver training at recognised locations run by recognised instructors. The Mt Cotton venue for instance up here in Brisbane would be ok.

I have had both the GTR and mini with Shannon's for the last few years. They are great to deal with.

if the location and instructors arent 'recognised' by Shannons, you can always refer them to us and we can look into it too.

but hey, atleast we are willing to offer cover for such an event, something which most other insurers wont offer...

Wonder how you could gear drag racing to be covered...

Ummmm

"Advanced Foot Flat Training"

"Advanced straight line driving"

"Advanced Traffic lights with 3 yellow lights and 2 white ones"

"How to pull a parachute"

"1/4 miles for dummies"

"Quicker shifts for longer enjoyment"

"Advanced fun"

"10 seconds of awareness"

Ummm the posibilities.....

Absolutely :(

Do you think that you could possibly dig up a list of approved instructors for us?

How long has Shannons been offering coverage for driver training?

NRMA has been offering it since at least the beginning of the year, to my knowledge. As long as you tell them that you're doing an advanced driver training course (which of course is going to be off-street) beforehand, then you're covered in case of an incident.

Not sure if other insurers offer this, but I know that AAMI will even offer you a discount on premiums if you take advanced driver training courses from one of their approved trainers. If they don't offer you coverage while you're attending that course I'll be surprised.

So its great that Shannons is offering it, but its hardly groundbreaking.

with the recoding, rekeying etc, would that mean ignition barrel and all locks would be replaced for a damaged key??

Its Replacement or recoding of the keys only due to damage, loss or theft (up to $1,000)

if your car was broken into and your locks etc were damaged, they would be covered under your standard policy.

We have been offering this since 21/11/2005. Great that other companies are offering this also, even better if they will cover your "modified" vehicle too, as this may be an issue with some of your main stream insurers...

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
