Shannons Insurance Just Keeps On Getting Better!


Recommended Posts

Can someone possibly pm me what 'criteria' they look at before insuring you?!

From what i can understand they are very selective on who they insure.

I have been driving for years with a sqweaky clean record.

Or do they look at other aspects?

Cheers,

Ando

You should do a comparison quote of before/after you turn 26 (even though i thought the price reduces when u turn 25, not 26).

the magic age is 26....mine was reduced from about 4500 to 1600...and no extra to pay by the month....GOLD!

also i have never had full insurance before, but because i had had no seriour fines and a no accident record, they gave me the full no claim bonus!

Andrew they will try and qualify you as a car "enthusiast" and one of the main ways they do this is by whether you are a financial member of a car club like sau :)

Adam: Theres nothing like having a policy from your insurer that lists every single mod on your car down to the type of forged pistons you are running :D

I have both my skylines insured with them also, so i get the multi car discount

Thumbs up for Shannons

My insurance (Just Cars) is due in early 2006, but after reading through this I will give Shannons a call to see if it will be better to insure with them.

From what I have read they seem the better insurer, but they turned me down a couple of years ago when I wasn't an SAU member (only recently joined).

Really? I'll be up for about $1700 in the new year, but I have yet to tell them of recent upgrades done to the car, so premium may be a little higher!

I will still compare the two insurers as both have there good points and bad points, and sometimes it may be worthwhile in the end to pay just that little bit more!

Well I joined at the xmas party earlier this month, not sure what I am meant to do next! Just wait, I guess!

yeah don't worry Drift King its all in the works atm, we are just a bit slower over xmas :)

RSTME they pretty much all use agreed value policies for imports, basically there is no market value they can rely on so they set a value

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 馃槀 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
