I think choice of repairer is very important, especially for Skylines. I don't think Just Car have this?

Have you asked Just Cars yet?

Doesn't hurt to ask or just call Shannons again and ask to speak to someone in a higher position to help you out.

A few ppl did that in a last Insurance Thread a while back.

I'm with JC and I have choice of repairer.

Infact I just made a claim with my full comprehensive insurance. I need to get 2 quotes, one of which from a Just Cars repairer, the other from whoever I want. The work can be carried out by my choice of Panel Beater.

Anyone with Shannons and doens't have there car in a garage?

I just got knocked back - mine is in a carport at the rear of an apartment block (not visible from the street). Wondering if I should try and ring again?

I have 3 cars that can't fit into a 2 car garage unless I get the Smarts

I told Shannons (with my 2-car policy) that my Honda & Nissan are garaged - and they are most of the time.

But they can't hold it against me or any policyholder if the car is simply parked out the front for a while eh?

My Honda was parked indoors yesterday - but my wife's BM is in there to-day.

imo there over priced.

just cars, cheaper and pretty much offer the same services.

That's weird, Shannons quoted me almost $1000 cheaper than Justcar :(

To bad at the last moment they asked me if I had a garage... which I don't...

Almost exactly my situation.

nope thats not a good idea. you can guarantee if there is a big claim it will be investigated, and if they decide you didn't follow the conditions then you might as well not have been insured at all

i'd be calling back and state your parents address or something and it is locked up there in a garage most of the time!

Well the car would HAVE TO BE IN THEIR GARAGE MOST OF THE TIME ! !

Because if the car is stolen, the insurance company is often likely to send out an investigator.

The investigator will interview each resident separately.

Any inconsistency like Duncan says, will leave you up the creek without a paddle.

That's how the system works!

call "famous car insurance" you can pay monthly and they insure imports, i got a quote from them and was pretty happy with my full comp quote, I live in an average area under a car port and yeh still a good rate... guna get it done shortly

I just got a quote from famous, my quote from justcars was $1030 or $1107 for pay by the month with the car insured for $12500, which they had dropped from $15000 agreed value, standard excess of $500.

Famous quoted me $1590 or 1701 for pay by the month with an agreed value of $15000, standard excess of $1000.

Another point is that with justcars my stereo is insured for another $3000 but contents insurance was not offered through famous, if my car gets stolen and never recovered/destroyed with justcars the excess is $2000 with all up insurance of $15500, through famous the excess is $2000 and insured for $15000.

Thats my comparison of the two, shannons was about the same as famous but the excess was the same as just cars.

Yes

I wouldn't bother trying again though, unless you have special circumstances (not that I do, but I have a number of factors on my side which make me not that much of a risk). If all you've got is that you are not visible from the street, then I don't think you will have much luck..

The problem with just cars is they don't do an agreed value :D

I've been with JC for my last 3 cars incl. my current R34 and when renewing my insurance they wanted to drop the agreed value $2k or so and I told them not good enough, so I got a call back and they were happy to leave it at the previous insured value ($22k iirc) because I've been with them for a while (and even though I made a big claim on a previous car) so I'm pretty happy with JC, they haven't screwed me over *yet*.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
