i'm with Shannons

they were cheaper by far, full comp for 1600 insured for 13500 was cheaper but i added 3k, they never asked about garage (i have one anyway). They also said the market value was 18500, does this sound right? 96 S2 R33 GTS-t

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*.

I rang them and told them if there going to drop the agreed value then i will go elsewhere, they said there was nothing they could do about it.

That sounds way too high, if my S1 has a market value of $12500 i cant see a S2 being $6000 more expensive.

The hunt continues...

I've just applied to Famous for a quote.

Can't say I like the sound of Just Cars low market values and mega excesses though... They're premium came out nicely at $1250 or so though.

Market value of my 1999 R34 GTT through LSV is $26k (down from $30k)

hm just spoke to shannons and they wanted almost $1,000 MORE than JC ... and JC have just upped my premium a couple hundred to $1900 and lowered agreed value $2k at the same time (to 23k)

Looks like there's no one that can beat JC .. hopefully when I turn 30 next year maybe they take some pitty on this old fool and give me a better rate than this :)

oh they are a bunch of 2 faced scammers, cynically feeding off their go-ggo image.

try a claim with them (up until about 12-18 months ago things were great). now days they have been taken over by suncorp, standards and attitudes in management have changed...and we are about to lodge our complaint with the industry ombudsman.

I'm sure Kel will be happy to elabourate though

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
