2001 M35 Stagea 250RS

Professional truck driver, no accidents last 7 years, standard car, no under 25 drivers, stored in driveway, Alarmed

insured for 14000 agreed value (paid a lot less than that but only $20 extra to insure for 14K instead of 11K)

prem 520, excess 400. AA insurance NZ

All numbers above in NZ dollars. Lady said would be an extra $300 on premium if i was living in auckland again.

How are you guys getting it so cheap through shannons?

I have a 96 RS4 with normal mods (FMIC/Zorst/lowered/rims) , 33 years old, clean driving history, no claims ever, and they want $609 for third party property. I've also had my policy with them for like 6 years

They want exactly the same for my Wifes R33 4dr

My heavily modded 89 cefiro was only like $3xx through them

Less people making claims on a Cefiro perhaps?

Try a fully comp quote. May not be much more than the crappy third party :D

has anyone told their insurance company's about having fitted a front mount intercooler or anything else aftermarket?

im just thinking if i do crash it ill rip all the stuff out before an assessor sees it.

what if youre injured and CANT get the stuff off the car. or worse still, someone is killed in the accident and your car is taken away by the police from the scene??

tell your insurance company. pay the difference. save yourself the hassle and worry and having your ass reamed by the other guys insurance company when you hit his $250,000 merc and youre not covered.

Shannon's don't care that I've got a front-mount in my 240Z , 2.8L turbo with after-market ECU, custom brakes (MC, adjustable prop-valve, braided lines, 4-spots & discs/mounts), or fibreglass valence - but they know about all of it. So does Transport SA, and it's all approved.

You are best advised to ask what matters, and find out whether you need to tell your insurer about a particular modification. There are some that they won't care about, and others they will.

you'd be surprised! they dont care where the car is driven, they only care where its parked

Yep thats a real laugh, thought i had better inform my insurer beforehand that my car is left overnight in transport company yard when i'm working. Infact it probably spends more time there in the "bad part" of town than it does at home. But their system has no way of assesing that and all they want to know is where you live and street, driveway, or garaged. Best to inform them of that intercooler thingy dude, you dont know what repairer it will get towed to and normally their is some kind of impound yard for recent wrecks that cops visit a lot to check for stuff they didnt have time to do at scene. Not a good place to get caught unbolting your go fast goodies....

Thats not relevant for third party property though.

From what I have been told, Sydney is the problem, not really any particular suburb. Some may be worse and slightly more but over all it is cheaper to insure outside Sydney and even cheaper in another state other than NSW.

I have a 99 RS4 18x8 volks tein shocks etc live in outer melb $565 , just got my son a car from sydney same 99 RS4 never had insurance before same price , both with Shannons

That IS cheap!

How for "outer" Melbourne?

Agreed value?

I've done a quick search and couldn't come up with anything specific..

I'm looking at importing a Stagea in the next couple of months. I've never owned an import before but have a clean driving record, been driving for 4 years.

I currently own an R31 wagon and wanna upgrade. :)

Just wondering what insurance companies you guys with Stageas are with, and how much it costs?

I've done a couple of online quotes but most of them don't have Stagea listed in their vehicle list, so I'm waiting for an email back.

Sorry if a thread like this has been done before.

Thanks in advance. :)

Hi there i own a stagea in brisbane and my car insurance is with shannons it cost me about $1200 a year but that is agreed value so if it gets stolen or written off i get $20 000 for it and you can pay by the mth and it doesnt cost you any more by doing this.

well i hope this can help you in some way they are great cars im glad that i bought one i love it.my car has alot of mods on it though so thats why it is that price.

well good luck from

    • careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?
    • OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
    • I’m thinking that’s the route I’ll  go, thanks for the input!
    • Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting
