So who else besides NRMA and the Suncorp owned companies (AAMI, Just Car, Shannons et al.) insures grey imports? Going to vote with my feet once this is all over and NRMA will only cover my car for $12k at a cost of $1300 a year.

given that you just made an at fault claim you may find it difficult to vote with your feet Boz.

he makes a point :(

yeah shannons is suncorp owned..cant expect to much. I only have it because of the combo of Beetle and skyline was the best with the highest payouts. And from what i understand, Shannons gives loyalty discounts for staying with them.

Well just cars only worked out slightly cheaper than shannons

BUT they did increase they agreed value on the leopard (not much, but at least they were willing to discuss it), both cars are covered for everyday use (leopard was limited use with shannons policy), and no stupid restricted driver policy. They win :thumbsup:

Got the smash repair guys doing the work to give me a full, itemised copy of the quote. Only second hand parts they are using is the bonnet and AC fan & shroud. Everything else is brand new, ex-japan. the prices on some of this stuff is just obscene. Nearly $400 for the radiator fan and shroud, front bar is nearly $800 and it looks like a pair of new headlights at $1100 amongst other things. ($570 each and both are listed on the quote) Just under $4,000 in new parts for the front end.

At least the front of my car will look nice and tidy :) One plus I guess. They are also doing a full mechanical assessment over the next couple of days and will send me an itemised quote for mechanical repairs. Downside, IC and radiator are cactus. They are going to see if they can repair them and if not the new assessor I'm dealing with has said he will give PWR a call and see what they can do. Not sure what will happen with the IC as Blitz doesn't make that model any more. This new guy actually seems to give a shit, or maybe my bitching got a response.

Just got a call from Shannons :O in reply to my email yesterday.

Spoke to someone who was much more helpful, and explained to me the restricted driver condition in more detail. It's not quite as bad as I thought, but still a bit of a pain, and they still want to put it on both cars.

They were happy to increase the value of the leopard by the same amount as just car however, and said they would be happy to talk about increasing it further if they can inspect the car.

Much happier with the service this time round, they are going to send me an updated quote and we'll go from there.

Maybe I just spoke to the wrong person the other day...

That happens too, I have had vastly different experiences with them depending on who the person is.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By Duncan · Posted

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
