I'd like to see how a car gets stolen from a locked garage with immoboliser :P no wonder the premiums are low

LOL little do you know. Its called a flat bed truck and a bolt cutter.

I have a family friend who lost a HSV limited edition. It was locked in a garage in Mosman with alarm, house alarm, back to base monitoring etc. They still got it.

But also, how often do cars get stolen at home, its usually when you are out and about, shopping centres and so forth right?

And has anyone had experience wiht claims? low premiums are great, but no point paying premiums when they wont pay out

There is enough info around other forums to support Ryno for great claims service. I am now completely confident in them.

Well, after Shannons just put my Limited Use premium up 10% to >$1,600 I have decided to see what Ryno can offer, their PDS looks almost identical to Shannons, only difference is they showed my market value of my car at $24,000 so that's great!!..

Will let people know how I go..

Interesting.. There isn't anything about you that may cause them to decline? Is it parked in a garage? Should be someone else better than justcars out there for you..

i quoted as the car to be daily used. thats an online quote anyway. took them one and a half weeks later to reply with "NO" . Ridiculous

Why do insure companies only insure a skyline unless it's stored in a locked garage if that is the case?

Little more to that to get into the average garage.. and unless the garage was a fair way away from your room, I think you may just hear a large truck pulling up and breaking into your garage, etc. And if you've got a little more than a $2 immoboliser, they have a tilt feature built in as well.

Basically the only insurer that will insure your car unless it's in a locked garage is Just Car. My other car which is worth market value a lot more than the skyline is parked outside and could get stolen much easier. Insurance is about half the skyline.

I just think it's b.s. that they use 'no garage' as an excuse to not insure you.. The ones that do will take almost the same money, but the odds of it getting stolen from a locked garage, with an alarm, are probably tiny.

pros.. pros don't steal skylines... they're not worth enough, and neither are the parts anymore.

I guess its "their" guidelines and rules and thats why most of these companies ARE doing successful business.

Simple really.

    • Looks like they've been through a few versions of the kit; that is not the one I had trouble with (it had the level sender attached to baffles on the floor, the one you linked the level sender is hung from the hat). One obvious point about that kit is it has no baffles at all, not even the factory setup (although it looks like you can retain the factory setup if you want).  Not sure if that will be an issue or not, the good news is it looks like you can get the pump nice and low in the tank, but that doesn't help if the fuel is all sloshing to one side of a wide flat tank
    • One more question if you don't mind. Is the first kit you tried the same one as they currently sell as their fuel-pump-hanger kit? https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/collections/fuel-system-kits/products/fpg-bnr32-fuel-pump-hanger-kit-single-fits-stagea-c34-nissan-skyline-gt-r-r32-fpg-087?variant=42131478315186 Because according to their video the low fuel warning thing can be taken from the OEM hanger and attached to their new hanger. Just wondering whether this is the kit you weren't happy with, or whether it's a different revision. Thanks again!
    • That's the thing....the basics of fuel and ignition are deceptively simple.....getting it to behave like factory in all conditions after airflow mods is way more complex. Newer cars like the V37 are all about modifying the standard ECU which is about a billion times more complex than they were 20 years ago, with a bunch of parameters affecting others
    • The larger TB I had on the SS was a pain to get to idle right, but, that was cable In the end they just raised the idle up a couple of hundred RPM so it was happy idling away either in gear or in park (slush box life) I'm curious on how my NC will idle with the new intake, larger TB, and cams that are currently going in/on, but I have faith that MX5 Mania will sort this "electronical" "black magic" out the best they can in the tune with a electronic TB Sometimes I wish I knew more about the intricacies of tuning, but most of the time I don't because I know it would hurt my brain 🤣
    • That's the thing. Cam is smaller than before.. though the old cam was +6 degrees advanced. We're talking huge changes here, the narrowbands want to trim out 20% of fuel and pull the (wideband) idle to like 16.0 AFR or such. One side is a little more trimmy than the other. Think along the lines of ~20% to ~15-18%. Unfortunately my scouring of the internet hasn't really found anyone with this issue. People either just disable NB's or have them wildly different, where one is -20% and the other is +20 or 0 (i.e a sensor is just dead/wiring is just busted). Turning them off and relying on the base map only results in the wideband reporting at about 14.0 with the Varex closed. It'd be a little leaner (closer to 14.7ish) with the Varex open. I know I can just change the switch points so that the narrowbands agree with the wideband, but it's still odd. Both of them are reading voltage, it's just that they're reading quite high mv, in the ~800 region. It's just odd. This was with the IAT fudged to report it was about ~22 degrees which is my guesstimation of the temperature in the room. I have an OEM sensor ready to try tonight, which is slow and crap - but .. worked last time I used it. Sadly I am aware that idle tuning with the big TB is going to be a PITA and I look 'forward' to many hours spent stalling or stumbling idle or delving into drivability things.
