I don't know why people even bother with them? If they can bullshit you with reasons why they can't insure you, what makes you think its going to be even better with a claim?

I know Wayne got f**ked when someone reversed into him. They ruined the side indicators on the quarter panels then when his headlight got moisture in it they blamed it on age, even though the other side was fine nor was it leaking water into it before the accident. So they refused to fix it. Bullshit.

good old insurance, I moved closer to town (the dirty south = ghetto ) and it doubled the monthly cost. had to nego to get it lowered to only 20.00 a month more then aldinga beach

and value has fallen by 600 bucks without warning. but agreed value is still really high, 29,400. (shannons)

end rant. :)

time to move again...lol

someone needs to create an insurance company that does something along the lines of e.g. you only do 5,000kms a year on your car so your insurance only costs xx amount. As oposed to you have to pay a full premium every year.. it's crazy there is only a really small amount of insurance companies to insure people with imports. Surely there's plenty of people who only use their cars as weekenders (if that!) yet we still have to pay the same. They do it for nana cars so why not ours..?

you will find that shannons does insure you on your circumstances....ie if your car is a weekender then your insurance premium isnt that high....but i think that means your not covered from monday - friday....so its a big risk you take....but if you only drive it on sat and sun then shouldnt be a problem.....

yeah we do have it set up like that with shannons.. a weekender and a daily.. we thought it'd reduce it but it really didn't.. the weekender car literally does no more than 5,000 kms a yr.. it should be based on how many kms you drive it as aposed to being a 'weekender' that gets done all day sat/sun .. if that makes sense!

i cannot remember who the insurance company was that had their Ad on the tv.....in regards to pay as you go or something like that.....i didnt look much into it however but it might pay for you to look a bit into that Sarah :P

they dont cover imports im pretty sure.

plus, this:

    • Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.
    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?
