I have to make a claim after a crash today, crashed in a Hyundai, my fault and was also rear ended by a fellow Skyline owner. I will deal with the specifics over the phone etc, but I can't find a true desciption of how RATING ONE PROTECTION helps me in this instance, does anyone know exactly how it helps?. This is my first claim.

So, what insurers can we consult who are not AAMI affiliates? JustCars can blow me for that very reason, as can Shannons now they're allied to those pricks.

I need to insure my car soon, I'm 26 years old, HR31 Skyline GTS; and my missus needs to insure hers, but thats a whole other kettle of fish, being its both a Stagea AND she is currently on her L's, P's later in the year (she's 26, late starter, I'm not some cradle snatcher!).

I've had bad experience from both sides with AAMI and their stooge companies, so I want an insurer for both that has NOTHING to do with AAMI or the parent group.

Yea I got a quote from them today for my R32 GTST with a built rb24 full respray etc for $1200 a year plus and heres the figures $1500 car excess + $300 standard excess + $350 age excess to cover me with rating 1 and value of $12000 on the car...

Who else is there who covers imports?

^^^ +1

More Companies = More competition

Compared to Just Car, a couple of the above offer 'Pay by the month'

Always try to have $$ to get "Agreed Value" over "Market Value" payout figure. Fingers get burnt when insurance companies are left to estimate (in their own favour) just how much your precious (grey import) car is worth should it be stolen.

If you have a daily, you can also get a heavy discount from one of the above since they (and we) know that you can only drive one car at a time. So both cars can be put under the one policy.

Always supply details of upgrades when you mod.

ive used just cars for all 6 of my high powered cars and ive never had a problem with them... their service has been great, and prices... although still expensive... much much cheaper than other big names like nrma, aami, and suncorp etc.

Just Cars , and now Shannons, are AAMI.

Same people, same offices, your correspondence has a different letterhead and thats about it.

i was told by racq "my car is unacceptable" and they hung up

i have just cars full comp inc my 22 yo gf (no not my gf insured - she driving it)

yes you get raped by insurance companies they are pretty much all the same but if shit hits the fan you may pay out half of your car but not the other which may just be the ducks nuts...

so i guess you get raped with a smaller object rather than the whole forearm and clenched fist

they were good and nice while taking my money but hopefully i'll never need to use them...

Ive been with them for 3 years now.

First year $2500

Second year $2100

Thrid year $1800

PS: i was 17 when i first got it.

Im changing off them as soon as it runs out in july as i havent had any claims so i should be able to find someone else that will insure me.

my car got broken into the other week, called them up to find out excess for a broken window and they quoted me $1950 excess. whats the point of having insureance if yoiu cant use it?

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • 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
