Hi guys,

My payout cheque finally arrived yesterday, which means it has taken 18 days (12 business days) from the day I first notified Justcar. I thought this was a bit too long for a completely-not-at-fault claim, and to be without a car - AAMI reckon they only take 3 days! Has anyone else written off a car with Justcar? Is this how long it takes?

-Greg.

I really doubt aami would take only 3 days to process your claim. Companies like insurance companys are farking slow when it come to paying you any $$ back.

12 business days seems fairly good response time.

My friend had to wait over 3 months for RACV to pay him out on his stolen/found/trashed(writeoff) car.

ever written off a car? do it all the time! wrote one off last week, writing one off right at the moment, will write one off next week.. its great fun!

To expect timeliness from an Insurance company is like getting free beer, its not gonna happen!

Thats pretty good actually, usually at a not-at-fault claim they can take months to process it. I think the record was 3 months in an old car to get it fixed, all because somebody was being a ****ing tool.

AAMI is slow as but they are quick sometimes but it depends on circs. eg. if ur car was written of in the hailstorms or floods .... within 5 days u get a cheque, if stolen ... pray to god and if written off in a freak accident anywhere from a week to 2 yrs. working there u hear some funny stuff ... hahaha.

And i wrote of my civic a few yrs ago and i was wif cgu ... 3 months till pay out and i got shit all back. flipped it 6 times.... rolled it good..not a single undamaged :P

Within 3 weeks sounds alright. If you're not happy just sue the other driver :P

BTW pay out for stolen is different to write off. When its stolen they investigate, especially if the car has been torched, so usually always takes longer.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
