So I had quotes of Shannons and Just cars for my S1 RS4..

The Shanonns quote was the cheapest, but had all the usual crap shannons conditions like the car can't be visible from the street etc.. Just cars was through the roof ($1500 yr + stupidly high excess). So I talked to GIO about their new custom car insurance. They gave me a quote of $1400 with no restrictions, a decent excess, windscreen protection, 65% no claim with lifetime protection etc..

So I told them it was a fair bit higher than the shannons quote and they told me to fax a copy of it through as company policy is to beat any quote by $50! So I got the car fully insured, with all the bells and whistles, for $14,000, for $980 per year!

Give them a try! Or just get quotes through someone else and get them to beat it,

choice of repairer, lifetime warranty on repairs etc.. as well. :cheers:

Cheers,

Michael

i gave them a ring, gave me the best quote i had recieved.

then they told me it was a wrong quote and it ended up being 2400...for a stock S1.

wasnt even paying that much for my old modified r32...

and they werent nice to me as well.

but hope all ends up being good for you, i have been dicked around by insurance companies so many times...

and the quote u got, was pretty much exactly the same as what i got. how old are you?

they said that they will insure a s2 99 but not a 2000. I expaned to them that they are the same car, but that didnt seem to matter as apparently there are not enough s2 2000 models in Australia for there requirements. Just cars quoted me $1158 so i guess i will be going with them.

well, when i first rang, i got a quote for a 1997 S1 stagea. told him my age and all that crap.

the dude gave me a rating one for some reason. now i didnt take the quote out straight away as i had not decided what stagea to purchase first.

rang back about 1 1/2 weeks later and spoke to a lady, and she said that the quote was totally wrong, and that i shouldnt have been a rating one. even tho i had the quote numbers and all, she said nah we cant do it, the first guy had stuffed up, the new quote is $2,200....

and i was not going to pay that much.

this was a couple of months ago, but thats the jist of what happened.

if you got your license when you were 18 then we'll give you a Rating 2. If you still have the original quote number sitting around somewhere can you PM it to me? I'll have a look at it....

no, i dont have the quote numbers im sorry.

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
