i'm with Shannons

they were cheaper by far, full comp for 1600 insured for 13500 was cheaper but i added 3k, they never asked about garage (i have one anyway). They also said the market value was 18500, does this sound right? 96 S2 R33 GTS-t

I've been with JC for my last 3 cars incl. my current R34 and when renewing my insurance they wanted to drop the agreed value $2k or so and I told them not good enough, so I got a call back and they were happy to leave it at the previous insured value ($22k iirc) because I've been with them for a while (and even though I made a big claim on a previous car) so I'm pretty happy with JC, they haven't screwed me over *yet*.

I rang them and told them if there going to drop the agreed value then i will go elsewhere, they said there was nothing they could do about it.

That sounds way too high, if my S1 has a market value of $12500 i cant see a S2 being $6000 more expensive.

The hunt continues...

I've just applied to Famous for a quote.

Can't say I like the sound of Just Cars low market values and mega excesses though... They're premium came out nicely at $1250 or so though.

Market value of my 1999 R34 GTT through LSV is $26k (down from $30k)

  • 3 months later...

hm just spoke to shannons and they wanted almost $1,000 MORE than JC ... and JC have just upped my premium a couple hundred to $1900 and lowered agreed value $2k at the same time (to 23k)

Looks like there's no one that can beat JC .. hopefully when I turn 30 next year maybe they take some pitty on this old fool and give me a better rate than this :)

im with shannons have been the last 3 yrs . i pay under a grand a yr series 1 r33 agreed value at 18 g and 500 bucks exess if it gets stolen . the joys of been a old fart lower premuins

i have never had to claim with them so i cant comment on that side of things i pay monthly im rapt with them so far ..

oh they are a bunch of 2 faced scammers, cynically feeding off their go-ggo image.

try a claim with them (up until about 12-18 months ago things were great). now days they have been taken over by suncorp, standards and attitudes in management have changed...and we are about to lodge our complaint with the industry ombudsman.

I'm sure Kel will be happy to elabourate though

    • Middle seat good for a slab of beer or Esky for a road trip. 2x kids, means 1x free seat lol.
    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.
