Hi all

It's been about 2 weeks and Allianz still hasnt got back to me soooo i was wondering if someone has been in the same situation (hopefully with allianz) and they can advise me on whats the case. basically I rolled my jeep (not fun) and it has been declared a write off (by the smash repair, not officially by the insurance company because their lazy and haven't gone around to check it yet).

Anyways, i've got a fair few parts on this car that would go to waste, example new soft top roof, old man emu suspension and some big tyres which were all installed just weeks before my accident. i was wondering if:

a) i was able to rock up and just take these parts from the smash repair place

b) offer to buy the jeep wrangler back from insurance (if so is this expensive)

if anyone has been in a similar situation and can shed some light that'll be great.

many thanks.

PS. roll bars FTW!!!

thats ghey, ill offer them treifitteh

on another note, i paid my insurance 2 months ago exactly in full totaling $1100. My excess is now $1000 sooo does that mean give or take 2 months from the 12 month contract, most of the un-used insurance will fund the excess? im assuming so, it'll be like cancelling your insurance after 2 months of coverage.

geeeeeeeeeez nic, you havent even had it that long man !!!! :)

i dont think you can get the remainder of the premium back if you claim. its only if you cancel and opt out of your policy.

as for the parts. if you can replace them with standard parts, and theyre not listed on your policy, you can take them..... i think.

i remember hearing an ad for allianz just yesterday. "one call, no paperwork, and they paid me right away" lol. yeah right.

i know, 2 months exactly from buying it to towing it :-( was a great car too

im gonna blow up at allianz if i dont get my premium back, thats bs so if i wreck my car after 2 months i get nothing but if i wreck my car after 11 months i still get nothing back. hmmmmm sounds fishy to me, makes me wonder how pay-by-the-month works out then, does someone have to pay the remaining 10 months of insurance i dont think so.

im gonna give em a call and get them to explain about this.

really? so even if u crash and write off ur car after 2 months u gotta pay for the whole year? i know this is the case during the cooling-off period. so even if you dont buy another car for 10 months or if u go with another insurance company u still gotta pay for the 10 months? doesn't sound right to me. cooooome on lunch time so i can call!!!

yes, if you're car is written off you are liable for the whole price of your policy. They discharge their obligation by paying you out. your obligation is to pay the whole 12 month policy. if you were on pay by the month and had only paid 2 months they would just deduct the 10 months owing from your settlement.

You have paid for a 12 month contract.

They have accepted you as a risk.

They now pay out your claim of whatever agreed value you have, and you don't want to pay the rest of insurance thats stated on the contract?

with a write off - the assessor of the insurance company decides for total loss. Just call your insurer and find out any updates.

Most general insurers will not offer salvage if a total loss - it'll go to auction dude but again, confirm with allianze

14 day cooling off period is if you pay any money from starting a policy, and decide to cancel for whatever reason - you get a full refund. If a claim - yep, your right, no refund.

After that, full 12 month contract dude.

If you cancel you get a refund

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
