i've always had the impression "who'd want to steal from a volvo?" but it looks like there might be some theives out there who know what it really is.

i had my R33 broken into twice, both times losing the stereo and other assorted goodies. it really grinds my gears when i hear about that shit happening.

i hope it doesn't cost too much for replacements.

Sorry to hear muck; I know exactly how you feel... I had my windows smashed in a theft attempt (they didn't steal anything though)... it's a complete pain in the arse to find the parts required - especially the rear quarter window!!!

Hope your insurance sorts it all out (if you're going that way) and your car is back on the road soon.

yeah guys fair enough your with shannons but nobody is answering the question why are they better? and i dont just mean price. I underwirte insurance for a large home and contents insurer and I want to know what the policy is like I am going to read both product disclosure statements but am interested in personal expeirences people have had as customer service and claims efficiency can also make a big difference I personally would pay more to get the best product and not just the cheapest

Shannons gives you (from what I can remember):

* choice of repairer;

* first option to buy the wreck if your car is written off;

* higher level of third party property coverage (I think it's $20million, compared to $5million with JustCars)...

I'm sure there's more, maybe _800STED_ can give us a better idea of the differences.

*1 free glass replacement a year

*much lower excess $500 compared to the $500 + $700 or some shit jci want.

*pay by the month

    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
