Just curious to hear who everyone uses?

I want to change to an agreed value on my car insurance so I'm going to go and get some quotes. Currently with Shannons and may stay there but I haven't looked in a while so want to see what's available.

I called Shannons for some info the other day and the guy on the phone really shitted me off. Couldn't even give me a proper quote on how much it'd cost to up my insurance too busy trying to give his un asked for opinion that if my car isn't in the top percentage of GTRs quality wise in Australia they won't raise it. Hmm if you read this buddy, kindly shove your opinion up your ass :D

I'm with Shannons. I'm pretty happy with it. One of the SAU member in WA works for Shannons, I can't remember his user name, nor whether he still works there, it's been a while. I called him up and got a comprehensive insurance instantly with a phone call, and no vehicle check.

Just Cars premium is usually the highest.

Young and Cool was the cheapest requires your car to have alarm with non-colour coded wiring... you are not covered for theft. Toyota MR2 factory alarm had colour coded wiring, hence I couldn't insure with them. They also give you 10% discount if you do a Murcott defensive drive training.

GTR is insured with Shannons. Corolla is insured with Toyota. Rav4 is insured with GIO, packaged with home & content insurance... more paperwork!

With Shannons you have to go see them in person. That's what I did with my car, and I got the agreed value that I wanted.

Kat, I actually had them first look at mine at the Wheels event, all I did was wander over to the Shannons sponsor tent and started talking to one of the guys there, he just said "take me to it and I'll look at it now",and that's how I got it, so maybe you could try that?

That way they get to look at the car when it's shiny clean too :banana:

try LSV (Lumley Special Vehicles) 133578

or Torque

I am with LSV, agreed value, cheapest I could find, great customer service.

My current policy is with LSV but they have doubled my excess to $1k (must be the market, ive made no claims) and i found out their agreed value means nothing just maximum amount they will pay, its just a reference to what clause where hey will assess the value and then pay what they want!

      It's (the TPS) buzzing? Or something else is buzzing in response? Remove the IACV from the plenum. Block the hole into the plenum with your hand. Get someone to start the car. Let some air is. Do the revs flare up? This is checking that the path into the plenum is clean. After that, is the air hose leading to the IACV fuly clear? After that, either you didn't clean it thoroughly enough to allow the valve to move, or it is broken.

      Just a follow-up on this topic. From what I can tell so far the rusty residue on the engine block might be unrelated to a coolant leak or maybe just older than anticipated. After driving it from the winter garage to my friend's garage I could not see any new traces of coolant leaking there, but I will test this properly once I was able to fully warm up the car and drive it for a bit. I think I can agree that the whole porous engine block stuff is kind of nonsense, but there is just a silly amount of true, false and half-true information on anything Skyline-related on the internet.

      I removed the IACV, cleaned it and reinstalled.  I found a video on youtube that helped with the whole process, the guy then said the idle needed to be set, so the process was to get the vehicle up to operating temperature, unplug the TPS, set the idle screw in the IACV so the RPMs were around 600, then plug the TPS back in.  After I reinstalled the IACV, the car started (because, it was a cold start), once it warmed up, the car died, I adjusted the idle screw to see if that helped anything, it did not, I had to wait about 3-5 minutes, then the car would start back up. Only to shortly cut out, and only crank.  I loosened the TPS to see if adjusting that would do anything, and when I would rotate the sensor clockwise, there was a humming noise, but it would go away when I got the sensor in the horizontal position.  It only made the hum noise with the key on.  What do you guys think? 20250414_172604.mp4
