Just car

Rating 1, 16K "agreed" value, 1200 excess, 1000

Do not compair Shannons to Justcars, they are leagues appart.

There is a WA guy on the forums that works for Shannons, does awesome deals, give him a PM:

_8OO5TED_ (real name: Matt)

He will call you from work and sort out your insurance :wave:

Whats the car and details?

I cannot recommend Shannons highly enough. Matt from here has been superb so seeing as you are with them, I would stay. Actually upon re-reading, it is the guy Al is recommending above.

My Evo is $1300 fully comp with 3 other named drivers and agreed value. Very happy indeed and no extra to pay by the month. I am Rating 1 protected.

Yeah shannons in WA is the way to go. Chris (GTRSOUL) organised everything for me.

They even insured me with my driving history! (2 court cases and a few fines here and there)

I previously insured my r32 GTR with Just Cars: Rating 1 - Full Comp - $21800 agreed value = $1300. Excess was around $900

Now with Shannons its agreed value of $25000 with premium of $1500. Excess (from memory) was about $800.

To me it made sense to spend $200 more and get an extra $3000 cover.

By memory i think Just Cars (a part of AAMI) and Shannons could only insure me(GTR)

Shannons has excess lower than that ,I nominated only myself and have only a $500 excess and they give one free windscreen replacement every year.But then again I am 39 with no claims or traffic infringements(Knock on wood)

Yes an agreed value is the way to go .I have $35000 on mine(Its hard to find a good GTR33 at that price though)

not sure why some of you are having a cry :thumbsup:

i was 21 rating 6/just cars (my previous insurance on my P's was under my moms insurance so i never got any rating points for those 3 years)

and i was paying $3200 to just cars :)

now 2 years on.. im paying like $1900 to shannons :yes:

Wow! I wonder if anyone can beat that $3200!

Is that $1900 with a rating 4 now?

How much would be expected to drop from my ~$2400 when i go to rating 4 (knock on wood making no claim)?

after a yr with just cars when i changed from rating 6 - 5 i was paying $2200.. i doubt yours is gonna drop $1k though :thumbsup:

you should speak to shannons though, there excess is about $1000 cheaper than just cars, and they let you pay monthly :)

Like Al said, speak to _8OO5TED_ on SAU and he'll fix you up :yes:

Thanks for the heads up! But i've already PM'd _8OO5TED_ and got referred on to another user of the forums to help me out - but it was too late unfortunately for that time being. I'm not so fussed with Just Car ATM, i might consider changing companies down the track though.

Cheers for your reply!

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
