well my renewel is cummin up with just cars and my premium has gone up to 3995 and my agreed value of the car has dropped to a crappy 25k. how the hell does that work.

i just got a quote pretending to be a new cust and was quoted 2500.

i guess my question is what if i made a new account and just paid the 2500 premium instead of the 4k.

and yes my details were identical

You are entitled to cancel or not renew your contract and accept the new quote - so long as details are disclosed as is. Why not? They are simply messing with rates/sum insured to screw you by the sounds of it.

Ring the insurance company and tell them your not happy with the renewal

Generally they will try and bump up the agreed value, but as the trade off you pay slightly more for your premium

Give and take really

yeah i remember you starting a few threads on here about accidents you had, including 1 involving a commodore who sped off. that would have affected your no claim bonus. anyway, didnt Just Cars spend lots of money fixing your car? a premium increase on their behalf isnt a big deal, especially after they pay to get your car back on the road and all fixed.

incorrect none of those accidents had any effect on my rating what so ever as i was not responsible.

nehoo ill give em a call see what happens.

This sounds like a loss of no claim bonus. Regardless of fault in your claims, if you were not able to obtain third party details for your insurer to claim off the other party, you may have lost part of it.

Yea thats true, if you make a claim wether its your fault or not it effects your rating and your premium at the end of the year, if you think about it this way, if someone hit you and they went through their insurance its all good cos just cars didn't do anything, if you claim and its not your fault your premium goes up, those sonsofbitches. And if you get a prick of a assesor and he spots something on your car thats not listed they wont cover you... But the value of the car depreciates every year unfortunatly so its not suprising that its gone down that much cos the same thing happened to me. Just call them and start asking them 1000 questions and dont get off the phone until your satisfied.

the amount of crashes you have had (regaurdless of whether you are at fault) is going to affect your costs.

you could try applying for insurance under the new quote but more than likely 1 of the 2 following will happen:

1: they look up your details and put the price up anyway.

2: they don't put your price up and if you have an accident they look up your previous details and refuse to pay.

as for the value of the car. once it has been in that many accidents the value is going to drop. no-one wants a car that has been dinged up heaps of time. and there are that many skylines out there now they aren't worth much.

so harden the f**k up and get your daddy to pay it.

    • I’m here solo don’t have any hands to help so haven’t hit it with a timing light 
    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
