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 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.

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
