Just wondering what peoples experiences are?

Just got rear ended by a tosser in a vy, do they let you choose your repairer, if so does anyone know someone around the frankston area who will fix some peeling clear for cash there way, pm me if you do.

Sorry to hear bout the accident man. Must be cut. As far as Just Car goes i think they only let you use your choice of repairer if the quote u get is cheaper than they get from their choice of repairers

Interesting. When I got hit I had it towed to a repairer I chose, they submitted a quote to Just Cars, the inspector came out and okayed it. I didn't need to take it anywhere else.

This was in '05 though.

I think they let you choose, provided their preference is too far away.

Other than that, they're pretty good - i got wiped out by a guy with no insurance, and when he refused to sign anything official saying he was uninsured, they were cool about it. I think they called him and got (tricked) him into admitting he was uninsured. But the bottom line is, they looked after me, and that jerk possibly has no house now.

Any else have to pay the excess up front, they didnt mention it when i called them today.

They said i have to get 2 quotes and atleast 1 of them has to be from there approved repairer, the two they gave me were seaford panels and frankston accident repair centre, i have heard good things about seaford panels any body had any work done at the other?

if you got full comp, and someone went up your arse, wont they be chasing him up for the money for you?

You only pay an excess when you're at fault, or when you can't identify the party at fault...

sweet, she said that it would be listed as "not at fault" so its all good then.

^^^ as per dezz's post, but companies like AAMI make sure you get a letter of the 3rd party advising in writing that they do not have insurance at the time.

Once done your car gets fixed, your rating won't be touched, but you have the joy of telling each new potential insurer about your "not at fault accident"

i was hit when i had my 33 last year and was insured with just cars. as llama_au my car was sent directly to my panel shop. the submitted a quote and the car was fixed a week after the incident. so was very happy.

Ok, from my experiences only a few months ago..

The insurance company will ask for a quote from a set of repairers, most insurance company's used VACC Approved Repairers so if the person who you plan on doing the work is approved then they can just send there quote to the insurance company and its easy done.

For my circumstance where i wanted to take it elsewhere that wasnt approved to the insurance company i told them i would prefer to get it fixed at my own repairer so they paid me out into my bank account then i took the car to DT Panels :P

been insured with just car for 6 yrs now and had good experience in accident situations but not when my 34 got stolen, gave me bit of hell for 6 weeks b4 they paid out. had 2 cars written off by them b4 hand, was a 33 and an 80 model scorpion.

but other than that, good experience

we get a quote from a repairer of our choice and one from your own if you want to...

we dont base the decision on the cheapest repairer

as someone said above sometimes if your repairer is closer and easier to get to we'll just send out an assessor to check your car and book it in ur repairer...but it all depends on the situation no home jobs :D

and we do deal with VACC repairers

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
