I was told with Just Cars that I didn't get to choose the repairer when my door was dented in, I just had to take it into their assessment center and they had 3-4 of their workshops look at it and quote on the repair and it went to the cheapest (approx $1k)

Ended up with a 2nd hand door, resprayed very well in white and all my stuff (speakers, window glass, mirror etc) swapped onto the new door).

They scratched the glass badly, tint was destroyed, door didn't actually close properly because the window glass wasn't adjusted at all. Didn't think to check any of this at the time I went to pick it up because it was quarter past 5 and everyone (them and me) were running late for things... Power mirror doesn't work at all anymore and sometimes the window switch stops working (loose connection somewhere, a bump in the road usually fixes it up).

Called up JCI and they said it wasn't their problem, they didn't want to take a report of the bad workmanship, instead I should re-book it in with the workshop that did the repairs. Called the workshop, they said that I'd need to book it back in via JCI as it was an insurance job and that it would be another couple of days I'd be without the car.

Ended up fixing the majority of it myself so I wasn't carless for any more time, inconvenient as hell :(

2 weeks later I got a renewal notice from JCI which was $400 more than the previous year, with a $2k reduction in agreed value. Told them to go fucck themselves and went straight to Shannons now that I can afford to / they'll take me as I'm old enough and have a good history.

Wasn't this an accident where someone hit you?

JCI are pretty shit with their renewals...I have phoned them up before and complained about the cost of renewal, and the lowest they could give me was $100 more per year than the cost of a brand new policy...with less agreed value...girl on phone agreed I should just start a new policy? lol

So I've done that twice now...

DO IT!

Btw glad to see someone putting in effort to hold regular events again. :)

Committee did try to get a Dyno day up & running earlier this year but had no luck with workshops willing to participate. Tony may have more luck though!

Yeah I usually just cancel and start new policies when the price goes up

I know the parents have been with RACV and get good discounts now, but if the insurance went up any time while holding the policy it would cancel out by the end anyway

Did similar thing today, Insure my ride wanted over $1500 for my full comp cover.. bike is only worth like 15k..

Called up QBE insurance after a quick google people said they were cheap.. signed up in 5 minutes over the phone for $850 & they cover upto 4k in gear as well

Yeah I'm with Swann/QBE

Always cheap

But yeah have had to re-sign with them every time I renew; they do the same trick as JCI

JCI are the worst I was with them for like 8 years multiple policies they jacked up my insurance by like 400-500 bucks in one go called em up like wtf said bad luck refused to negotiate I'm quite loyal never shopped em around but moved to Allianz got cheaper premium but high excess ($2.5k dat luxury car rapeage) but got way more benefits road side free windscreen etc so JCI can suck a fat wang

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
