I am sick of Insurance companies not knowing shit about imports and just being rude. Just got off the phone with Shannons. You would think that people who deal with imports daily would have been given

Eh, either way I'm sticking with my Shannons with $28K agreed at $1250/yr.

Thats a bit rough, one of my mates has a 300kw turbo rotary 929 sedan thats only 900kg insured for 20k and only pays $600 a year, another mate has a mazda 1600 ute with a turbo gas rotary in it insured for $17k for $520 a year.

Should really try and get that quote adjusted.

Yeah i will vouch for Shannons.

Recently just switched from Just Car,

Shannons quote came in at slightly more but i now have an agreed value of 32k compared to the 18k or so market value from Just Car.

Came in at $1457.93 with

$500.00 excess + $400.00 for me being under 25

Extremely happy and found them to be very helpful and great to deal with over the phone.

how the hell did you get an agreed value of that much??

far out, i should probably look at switching over. but i thought that for the first year you cannot make a claim?

thats what made just car a little more appealing.

i gotta get a higher agreed value, i got a rebuild and much more spent on my car than $17k

its easily cost me over $35k incl. purchase for everything i've got on it.

how did shannons go when it came to letting them know of mods?

Im 26 with a R33 GTR

Just got rid of justcar insurance. Premium was around $2100.

Access was $2400 if i wanted to claim, car theft was another $700 for $26500 cover

Shannons $500 access is way better. Premium still comes in at $2200 for $26500 cover

No extra if i wanted to pay quarterly or monthly.

Premium will be adjusted by 10% when i get my cams license.

Would be worth giving them a call man,

I got a flyer for Shannons at the Kadina car show.

Filled out my details and current insurer etc, then it asked for how much i wanted it covered for.

I went through my receipt book and looked at some GTRs on the net and 32k seemed reasonable enough to replace my car if something were to happen.

Got a phone call about a week later and spoke with the guy about it all and listed pretty much everything i have done to the car etc etc,

he ended up doing the policy there and then and i think it was listed as being "medium" modified.

But yeah well worth the switch imo, especially with all the work yours has on it.

Krishy,

Just pray you never have to claim with them to get your car repaired as the repairers they use are rather ordinary.

i got told that i could go to the repairer of my choice

What happens is that they nominate their preferred repairer and let you choose your own. Whoever has the "better" quote on the day gets the job. If you don't nominate your own repairer, they will choose two preferred for you and use the "better" quote.

Exactly as Norm said.

When i had and accident i had the same process, had to get a quote from one of their qualified repairers and the place i wanted my car to get repaired at.

Luckily the place i wanted to get it done at was cheaper.

Im sure the dude I spoke to said the process was to get two quotes from their preferred repairers, and I can get a third from one of my choice - and if my quote was between the other two it'd be fine.

My mate had his car with Shannon's.

It was stollen and torched and he got his claim, but only after they had a PI on him for a month, then had to wait for his payment for another month or so and now they say that they will never insure him again. Wasn't anything dodgy and the PI said everything was legit.

I've said it in here god know's how many time's but Wesfarmers is the best insurence company I've been with and my parents are with them too and also agree.

I had nearly 5k damage to my old 32 from some kent's trying to break into it. They said that I need to get 2 quotes from 2 different places and I pick which place that I wanted my car at (not them)

Also, they cleared the costs through the crash shop on the spot with their guy and repairs started straight away! Also, in the time it took me to go around and get the quotes, they paid for the door handle to get fixed on my car so I could keep using it till I get the rest of the car fixed.

Also offered free rental car to me for the time of the car being fixed, but I got one from the crash shop anyways.

On top of all this. I was only 17 when I got my insurence with them, and only changed me $700 full comp with a $500 excess. After I claimed I thought it would go up and it didn't. The next year it went to $498 and $400 excess.

The more shit you got insured with them the better it will all work out for you.

This is their site steve http://www.wfi.com.au/wps/wcm/connect/internet/wfi/

My parent's are the ones who signed everything up for me when I was living with them a few years ago and when I got my own place I just transfered all the details of mine over.

Best bet is to call up and speak to someone as you'll get the best result that way.

      I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
