i am with unique or something like that in Melbourne, costs me about $1400 a year I did have a 70% no claim till last year now at 40% and my excess is $500 and the agreed value is very good

Shannons wont insure you.

im pretty sure they dont insure anyone under 25 with a turbo vehicle.... but i might be wrong.

Yeah, they took me when I was 24. Had to have a good record etc.

Hey race!! What did shannons do to you? I've been with them for 2 years now, and havn't had any trouble with them (and they handled a small claim for me). Good agreed value, monster mods at around $1600 per year.Was with famous classic - who I found to be less helpful.

i was with shannons with my first 300zx and it caught fire and they paid out within 14 days....no problems with them at all and then they insured my R32 and my R33 with out any issues. with my current 300zx i am with just cars and no probs with a little claim i had a little while ago

when i rang up shannons to get over phone quote they asked my age and what car and they said they wouldnt insure me for a Turbo'd vehicle under the age of 25. i didnt even bother with NRMA as ive heard some bad stories, but Just Car has been the best find for me, although i might check out this "vigil"

i tried shannons because my mate has his Civic insured with them, went with him to insure it, and shannons seemed really hassle free and quite easy to deal with. but ohwell... suppose ill have to wait till im 25 and see what happens?

shannons quoted me for full compo and 3rd party, granted it was a supercharged mr2, and i was 19...

but even that's a bit more "acceptable" than 16/17yrs and a turbo skyline. not picking on you beau, just saying its possible they couldve said NO fullstop based on age and car..

PM or talk to 8OO5TED - he has insured all three turboed cars of mine and was exceptionally helpful. If there is to be any issues with vehicles and/or age he WILL tell you what can and cannot be done. Strongly recommend the contact. At least you will know what can be done for your car and your insureance.

I had minor smash which took 9 months to fix, I was on the phone to shannons all the time they did nothing, I had to find parts myself, then the spray painter did the shitest job ever had to take the car off them, which then got fixed by someone else. I had to go out and buy another car. Before it was finished Shannons rang me and ask so how is the car going now that its finished, I was like what the f**k Its still sitting in some dodge pannelbeaters shop hasnt been touched. They had no idea. The asseor for Them did the runner and left all the unfinish shit to be picked up by other people I found out later that the asseor was mates with the spray shop i got it done at. After all that they send me a new qoute for my insurance, from 1700 to 3500

I had been with them for about 5 or more years too at that stage.

    • I should try the experiment you're talking about, the throttle switch is still there carried over from the R32 and it's still all wired up but after I did the whole intake manifold refurb and had to recalibrate the TPS I managed to somehow get the idle switch reporting activation at 0.22V, then when I adjusted it to 0.45V for idle it decided the engine was permanently no longer idling which caused some very weird behavior, closed loop idle was disabled so it would basically be at the whims of the cold start valve and whatever the base timing table was at. Then just unplugging/replugging the TPS with the ECU live caused it to relearn the idle TPS position and decide 0.45V was idle. Presumably there's nothing in the TPS that allows for the throttle switch to "recalibrate" like that, not easily at least.
    • Duh... to answer my own silly question, it's actually described in the FSM... ...400 pages away at the end of the manual, for RB25DE/DET signal descriptions, it cites the TPSwitch signal action, is dependent on the TPSensor value ~ this tends to infer the builtin POT voltage signal is the primary, and the switches are fallback/secondary should the POT fail/TPSensor signal lost (and switch alone with no TPSensor signal allows for base idle speed setting).... makes sense... they (TPS units) used to fail/wear the POT with time, they're not exactly built to last ~ having the switch as a redundancy gets around this...(or, it's less likely both signals would be lost as they're on different power rails)... and of course wrt RB26DETT, you have to electrically disconnect the IACV solenoid from the harness, to defeat idle air control...  
    • Dose is unaware just how much fun 145-150kw would be in a 2.5L NC MX5. It would be one of the most fun things to drive to ever grace SAU.
    • Same thought crossed my mind ~ depends on how one connotes 'stalling'...ie; gets a rough/stumbling idle as it get warm until it stalls... or... idles ok and simply falls-over when it gets to temp... ...you can test the whole circuit with a couple of resistors ...unplug coolant temp sensor, bridge terminals with a 2K7 resistor (ECU will do cold start), or with engine warm bridge with a 330R resistor (ECU will consider engine to be at normal operating temp)...it's a quick way to check wiring integrity/ECU response when you don't have a multimeter handy ...
    • They also make them with the motor mounted on the side
