how do people get skylines insured with shannons?? iv called them about 3 times to enquire about my skyline after hearing other people say they are with them and they say they dont do skylines/imports... even there website you can get a quote on skylines.. wtf?

I guess you need to show them that you are a motoring enthusiast. When I joined them over 10yrs ago (when I brought a series 2 R33 GTS-T) they asked me alot of questions about cars that I had owned and things I had done with them.

I've had a few skylines with them and never had a problem. Oh, and I am an old fart to :blush:

you need a garage with shannons, unless you have a locally delivered car

also your suburb might be high risk etc. depends on a few thing. also i dont think they insure under 25s

im 28, suburb is low risk. the car is locked in a garage. i have another car with with Shannons already also, so they konw all my details and what im doing. one speeding ticket in the past 6-7 years. no claims ever (touch wood).. seems odd

Garage is a must for Shannons.

For me, Shannons is the best for modified cars and car enthusiasts, not heard any bad things of them.

I am with HBF now and they are ok too. After I change my car, I might try going with Shannons.

hehe racv online quotes are Vic only, ill still give a go after the long weekend but i very much doubt they will cover in NSW....+ i just ran a practice quote to see the price even if i was living in melbourne and it gave 2.8k.....

Yeah same, from memory. Nowhere close to Just Car's price.

paying $145 a month with rating 1 protection for life, windscreen cover, rental car after accident etc. agreed value of $45,000 on a 370GT coupe

mind you i am in my 30's

I'm 33. Just Cars do me for $1300.

Shannons would do me back when I was a rating 1. They wanted like $2.8k, double Just Cars price. My R34 did have an attempted theft which I think impacted the claim.

To be fair I must say I've had great service from Just Cars. I used to think they were the McDodge company high risk people are forced to go with, but every dealing I've had with them has been excellent. They've been great every dealing with them, a human answers the phone, and the 20-somethings on the phone are always knowledgeable, courteous and helpful.

Just cars seem like an absolute joke is something which I've learnt over the last few days. Had my car broken into smashed my drivers side windscreen. and I have to pay the full access to have the drivers side window replaced.

Mind you.. $500 is a lot cheaper to get it sorted compared to being quoted $900 by obriens (window only) and $1.3k by nissan australia (Window only)

there also seems to be a shortage of drivers side windows in victoria (and im thinking the country?

But yes, I'm thinking of moving my policy across through back to RACV just did a quote just then and the annual premium is 1.9k (which is about $200 more than my current annual premium) and I get better cover....

Mind you i'm 27 with no prior claims.

      🚨 Need Advice! Overcharged for Engineering Report 🚨

      From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro

      🚨 Need Advice! Overcharged for Engineering Report 🚨

      Yeah - but it's not actually that easy. There are limits for HC, CO, NOx and particulates. Particulates shouldn't be a concern in any petrol engine unless trying to comply to the very latest Euro standard. But getting a tune right so that all the others stay within limits AT THE SAME TIME is not a trivial exercise. You couldn't possibly get it right by just guessing at the tuner's dyno, unless he had a 4 gas analyser up the pipe, which is not often the case these days. It used to be. Every decent shop that did "tune ups" (as opposed to tuning) would have a 4 gas analsyer. Perhaps there's still quite a few of them around these days. But most "tuners" are only watching O2 and power readings.

      Slight segway but the most expensive part of the whole thing which I would have thought would only be required for an engine size/type swap, not a VIV test, is emissions testing.  That's when you get into the big bucks.  I can't remember the exact price now but I got quotes for the GT-R based on swapping to RB30 (not that anyone bothers doing it legally anymore...) and it was around $4500 just for that alone.  The guy that does them manipulates the tune on the vehicle to make sure it passes.  The cheaper option is to book into Kangan Batman Tafe (I think that's where it was) and hire their tester.  Allegedly you're not allowed in there with the car though so not in a position to tweak anything to make sure the vehicle passes.  I'm sure in this day and age of ultra tuneable ECU's you could get the tuner to program a special efficiency (clean) tune that emits the lowest amount of particulates possible that would pass the test.  It might only make 50kW's but as long as it passed who cares!

      I'm sure he has left signs, or, he is looking down, laughing That's my cunning plan for when I leave, lots of half finished projects, with no rhyme or reason of where I was actually up to, just to keep everyone on their toes

      Does that price include the rack time to straighten the frame and body and replacement of parts and paint, as well as the noise and emmisions testing  The last engineering certificate I had done, albeit about 15 years ago, was around $1000 for a few inspections and the certificate
