just got off the phone with Shannons Insurance...

Not impressed.

1st - they don't know my car. That's fine, not many people do.

2nd - after telling them every little bit of detail about my past infringments/mods etc he comes back and says "we can't insure you because your car has too many mods. It needs to be in a garage"

3rd - I told him as I'm moving to a new house soon which HAS a lockup garage, can he give me a quote. He goes for another 10 min and then comes back and said "no, we can't give u a quote until you've moved into a house with a garage".

I guess I need to ring up again and lie just to get a f**king quote. idiots...wasting both our time. If they don't/can't want to insure me just f**king say so from the start...

Thank goodness JCI's online portal is so easy to use...

They should; several other forum members are insured with them. I had no issues.

I've heard of this before; I think it really depends who you get on the line when you ring, try again.

Bye stagea people, I no longer own any nissans, Just moved interstate and didnt sell the bucket(accent) in time so will just keep it for a while and not have anything fast(also to much cool shit coming out in the next year to buy new now!), I seem to get the train to work anyway and its better to have something I can park at the station and it uses f**k all fuel.

Farewell.

Agreed.

I have been with Shannon's since day 1... which literally was day 1 for M35 Stagea's!

Jethro - The dude you got will be going by Redbook which only states ARX models last time I checked.

Strange as I have never had any issues with any of the Shannon's people I have spoken to.

Also odd is that there isn't a limit on mods... just some of them will bump up your premium considerably (turbo, boost controller, engine management are biggies).

Maybe you got a new guy on a bad day? Dunno. Try them again.

Maybe...

Funny too - the guys said "since your car has so many mods it needs to be in a garage..." and "we'll need to having driver restrictions since its a very hi powered vehicle...."

I didn't even tell him any power figures! meh...

I might try again when I've moved into my new place I guess.

i had no problems with mods either, put around 8-10k of mods on the car and premium went up around $200 per year i think

yes ALL imports need a garage with shannons, locally delivered cars dont. which is weird, my fiat is probably more rare than the stagea, and i dont have to garage it.......

c'ya Ryan, take care mate

sent PM wishing you well

washed the stag on the weekend :D

I cant believe how shiny it is when you wash it after a month (or so) worth of dirt!!!

(but then I see all the little bits that need detailing too sad.gif )

Oh...I should wash my car.....I haven't given my car a wash in about 2 months....let's just say a mate of mine goes to me....your car is turning cream (it should be pearl white)....that's how long I haven't washed it for...it's been either too cold or raining to get it washed

    • I have one of these! It is absolutely useless. It provides not nearly enough force on the bolt, it just slips over anything that is not finger tight. And if it's finger tight, you can use your fingers.
    • You have to take photos of the car in Victoria with a timestamp. So if you have big aftermarket turbo in your engine bay, your car is simply not getting a RWC and you'll be doing a lot of returning to stock, and re-modding after about 90 days (because cars that have had a RWC can be audited after the fact). The law I'm kinda ambivalent about. I can see the logic and the writing on the wall, Cobb etc would be well known for selling to 'wink wink off the street usage' but in the real world everyone knows what they do and where they end up. It'd be like someone selling guns in Australia but "only to people who have a proper licence" but selling them outside of Bunnings instead of sausages to anybody. Like RWC's, and VASS's and EPA, this is enforcement of the actual existing rules. I haven't looked into it but there (should) be a way for people to legally pass their tuned car to be within the rules if they can prove they pass emissions laws that are applicable. If there's not then that's another story.
    • Interesting post(haven't watched the vid). I'm surprised companies can be fined for selling products that are specifically meant for certain applications.  How can you force a customer to use or apply your products in 100% the way intended? People have been misusing products since they were invented. Heck, I ate dessert last night with a soup spoon. Does that mean the spoon manufacturer could be fined? And what of the customers who actually want to use the product for its intended use?   I'm sure we could discuss and debate this for a while, but this is an introduction thread and I dont mean to take over it.
    • I think depending how much left over cash I have after all the kids and wife (daycare, extra curriculum activities, toys, and whatever they drain from my account, wife's spending, etc.) I might go for the Advan A052 OR if the bank account says no, then Nankang CR-S.
