Full comp ain't a guarantee of happy times in this scenario. Many excesses are about the same cost as the repairs and the repairs aren't quite enough to write off the car :/

Watch out with some insurance companies. My wife's car got damaged in the last big storm and had rating 1 full comp. They repaired the car and then dropped her to rating 3 and increased her yearly premium by more than 60%. We changed companies and got rating 1 and ended up saving almost $200 a year compared to previous rating 1 policy anyway. Win for us.

^ wtf? how does that work? an 'act of god or nature' or whatever, and she loses ratings and premium goes up?? how has she suddenly become a riskier driver as isn't that what the rating/premium change is ultimately suggesting (probabilities etc?)

if people are looking for a dent person, Mr Dent (Vince) does fantastic work. Originally recommended to me by Damian @ Final Inspection. If you google it, you'll find his number (no website)

I live in Roxy, literally 5 mins from Cragieburn station. No hail :laugh:

If ther was hektic hail my old man wouldve skitzed it :O i garaged my skyline instead of his merc for induction pipe making. i shit my pants when i heard hail was coming.

lucky tho :D

dodgy assholes... insurance companies are just greedy f**ks who want to drain people's money. talk about trying to recover their losses. excellent work changing companies :D should have faxed them a note with their letter of increase telling them to shove it up their ass.

45 minutes on hold and answered

covered by full comp

no need to shop around for quotes, they have setup an assessment place which will call me before the end of the week

ill take the car there, they will check it and decide wether to proceed with quotes/pricing or write it off (usually its the other way around)

he said the roof is the main concern if it has lots of deep dints, they have to take the roof off, which becomes an economical write off

so early stages

but very positive outcome from just car insurance

very helpful, quick to help

no blah blah your not covered rubbish

excess is 1k

as for williamstown, there was hail but like pea sized hail. Had some family there during the storms and they were caught out but i had a good look over the cars and didn't see anything, so williamstown would be ok i would think. no big hail

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
