Shannons wouldn't insure me because i don't have 5 years of driving experience (wtf?)

Just Car, 1170/yr for comp, with the excess adjusted all the way to the maximum. 287/yr for 3rd party.

Comp or 3rd party? Its just an auotmatic NA supra which i will probably sell off in about 2years

not very reassuring lol but i must agmit they have been 'nice' so far. no actual repairs have been carried out on the car yet lol

Get used to waiting. Its been 2 weeks and nothing helpful's been done to the GTR either.

I dont adjust my excess because thats just asking for trouble...on standard excess im still paying close to 3k a year for them to treat me like shit.

And, always go comp...because then they miiiight fix your car too. if you like their dodgy repairers.

LOL Just Cars Insurance... I'll be changing on renewal, to Shannons.

After my accident, I had it sent to choice of repairer. They insisted on picking it up and taking it to a better place, and claiming the shop I sent it to quoted second hand parts as opposed to the "better place" (which is BS because I know the people at the shop). A "better place" whom has replaced my type m grille with another type and asked me for $1500 because the front bar was a "special" one (which i've since told AAMI), not that I tried telling them about the car or whatever. AAMI now has the car and will deal with the repairer; I was just lucky enough to have a client whom is an AAMI accredited repairer and told me I had that option (because I did not want to deal with the repairer and was just going to let it be).

Albeit my concerns about the repairer's professionality, and the lack of confidence I had in the repairer, AAMI persisted it go back there under "strict" QA and sign off from AAMI before I pick it up. Heres hoping... :P

Lol dude look at the access with full adjustment. it make insurance not worth it haha you will be paying 3k access and 1.2k a year for comp. 4.2k :P

but on the other hand you will have the piece of mind in case of accident.... your call. Panel beater charger an arm and leg for their services!

again i say to you...what happens if someone hits YOU?

Even if youre the best driver in the world, other people arent. What if they dont have insurance?

Then youre pretty much f**ked.

Your choice.

Hi Cassandra, did you go to Sheen Panels in South Melbourne? and if you did, did you see a Bayside blue R34GTR there?

Alvin as everyone else has said accidents do happen, full comp gives you piece of mind.

until you hit a bently

+1.

Didn't see the 34, imagine it'd have been inside, only pulled my 33 into the driveway. Busy yard there. They said the getzes were booked up till mid July yet there were 2 there a the time? Beats me. I still haven't made a decision on the payout or sheen's yet. Like choosing between lubed rape and unlubed really...neither is really what I want :blink:

I would get 3d party at least. Personally I have always got comp, as it is good in that you know you are covered for most things. eg., if someone hits you, totals your car and seriously injures you it should be your insurance company who pays all your car bills, lost income, medical bills, compensation, etc. If you don't have comp insurance in that situation, good luck getting the money from the other party (usually a penniless uninsured unregistered scumbag) in the courts. Also, in many situations you will have an accident even if you are a very careful driver.

eg., if the car in front of you brakes suddenly for whatever reason and you hit them, it is always your fault.

In many cases where the other party is at fault, where there are no witnesses (or worse - retarded witnesses taking the other person's side) it's just your word against someone else's, and the insurance companies don't know who is at fault.

well everyone, i got the GTR back last arvo from Sheen Panels in south Melbourne, i spent about half an hour going over the repairs and paint job and i have to say the workmanship is perfect. all panels were aligned perfectly as i measured the gaps and the paint was matched exactly to factory. all parts fitted are brand new. can't even tell it's been repaired.

i'll give'em 10/10 for repairs and painting. i highly recomend them. that's coming from someone that is perdantic when it comes to my car. also had 8 people and my work mechanic (use to work as a panel beater) at work go over the repairs this morning and they all say they did a very good job and that i should be happy with it.

I think the gtr is going there early July. Glad to hear you got an awesome Result. Boosts our confidence in them ;) thanks for the report!

Yeah i was expecting to find something wrong and have to leave it there to get fixed, but repairs are all good :thanks: .

Also apparently the assesor has approved to have Cassandra's car repaired aswell :yes: .

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
