Hey all

Thought i'd post this here as it probably has the biggest audience due to some of you being way too smart to stumble into the wasteland. :)

Just thought i'd let you know of my good experisnce with Justcar Insurance

I cancelled my insurance policy on wednesday last week and received a cheque for the refund 2 days later on friday afternoon.

This isnt that big a deal, i was just pleased that the customer service quality is that high that they didnt fluff around for weeks on end before even sending the cheque out like my previous insurer did when i cancelled my policy last time

Anyway dont take ths as gospel as maybe when you come to deal with them they may not be as good, but for me.. I am impressed

You've got my vote Justcar

Glad you're impressed with them... :)

Given that I also cancelled a policy with them (due to selling the car) and had a totally negative experience, I'm even more irritated at the way I was treated now!!!

I guess this just illustrates that there's always going to be conflicting stories regarding insurance companies and that any advice should always be taken at face value and not treated as gospel (as you've already noted :P ).

For what it's worth, my cars are now insured with Shannon's and I'd rate their customer service to be significantly better than JustCars in all areas.

Can anyone say, repairs with second hand parts?

Or

ur repair quote goes online and who ever can do it cheapest gets the job?

Ill be going with shannons next who will give me real agreed value, someting just cars do not.

My 2 cents....

Not trying to sound silly, but I dont think there are too many new cefiro parts floating around. Ditto with many other imports. Hey if it was a brand new car I take it back. But if it was an import give them a little slack.

Either way what I find is funny how many people are happy with how well they took the cancelation :laugh: Bit ironic.

I cancelled my insurance policy on wednesday last week and received a cheque for the refund 2 days later on friday afternoon.

I cancelled my insurance with AAMI when i traded the Alfa for the skyline and they did the same thing, told me it would be like 14 days to receive cheque but it arrived 2 days later.

AAMI Sister Company or Just Car, just in case anyone didn't know. So thats two quick responses plus the more posted.

How old are you? (Dont have to answer)

I want to get a quote for a GTR just for curiosities sake as the reasons I didn't go R32 GTR was Insurance would be higher (Already is $3400 for a GTS-T, 18yr old, 5 months license) and more power and I am unexperienced with relatively high powered cars.

For me I have my Skyline with JIS (justinsuranceservices.com.au). Their policies are comparable (appears JIS win it actually and Shannons have a great policy!). Plus JIS were quoting significantly cheaper than a car I had with Shannons which was less risk (2003 Monaro) and very similar sum insured. My personal experience. :P

im 24, own a s2 33 2 door.... just car, 2800 first quote then 2900 second quote when i actually bought the car.... shit-house then shannons to the rescue with a 2200 which is a chunk in saving... not slightly over 1k but good enough for now

next year hopefully will see some drops in prices for me due to aging

I was happy with their premiums as well. I'm 23 and got an R34 GTT 4 door with agreed value of $23k and I pay $1400 a year.

Thats good, I'm 22 and got a R34 GTT 4 Door with market value of liek 20,500 I think and cause I only have 50% ncp my insurance premium is $2107 inc. Body kit and upgraded stereo.

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
