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: .

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
