this will definitely be useful, as i may be inspecting a 34 next week!

The NRMA PDS has so many omissions in it > bit of a nightmare > had to rely on a 10 min phone conversation with staff.

Just Car PDS will be perused next - again, sorry for the delay to this thread as well as PMs.

Well, just called up 2 brokers in Sydney. Asked about "nissan skyline".

1. Sorry we don't do those vehicles, we are a relatively small broker and only do mums and dads types of cars. =(

2. advice given: It would be much cheaper to go direct to the insurance company than to go through a broker for this type of vehicle.

also just tried to get an online GIO quote, BROKE THE WEBSITE

Learning as we go!

At last...

Just Car PDS details have now been posted throughout "Topic Headings" in Posts #2 to 11.

Another insurance company that covers 'grey imports' may be added to the above mix next week.

GLASS BREAKAGE & LOCK DAMAGE

Shannons:- Once during a period of insurance, every glass panel is covered (fixed or moveable) without any need to pay "excess". Moulding is not covered if due to aging. Chips and cracks that do not extend through the entire thickness, or affect integrity, are not covered.

Locks, keys and barrels are not mentioned and are therefore unlikely to be covered.

See Terry here's where some of the information you are providing is incorrect.

* Shannon's will not cover sunroofs.

* Theft of keys and recoding is covered but of course limitations do apply.

I don't want to hack on this thread but I don't believe it's a good idea to be trying to provide this type of information if you don't work in this industry, especially if its incorrect.

Read the PS on Post #1 again!

It says that the Shannons 2006 PDS will be updated!!!

They talked to me today, and they will send out the latest PDS on Monday!!!

According to the 2006 PDS, what I've posted is correct.

You've never asked me about any experience that I've had in dealing with car insurance. In fact, you've never even PM'd me either!

I've written psycho-legal reports for victims of MVAs and sat in case conferences with both traffic lawyers and survivors. Terms of reference (including car insurance and CTP) were then furnished to me, to subsequently write reports.

There is a difference in working in the industry to dealing with them

So I've gone to 5 chemists i should list about medication advice? No.

Anyway, how you interpret a pds to how someone else does to how the company does are 3 different things and is best to leave it to the individual to ring the said company. In terms of wrong info you haven't asked me for correct info on Dawes and you have left if there, as you know I'm the manager there. I don't like to advertise that cause I get people pming me for quotes, cheap prices and advice etc.

Anyhoo, last I'll post in here and my last words of advice.

- ring each insurer for quotes. Shop around

- read their pds for exclusions, limitations. Conditions, features

-compare apples with apples

- don't be price driven

Contact insurance council of Australia for other insurers.

If you deal with an insurer, make sure they are part of the code of practice. More rules insurer deals with.

If you har a complaint, write to them first. Then if not satisfied go to higher management/IDR process. If

Not rectified ten financial ombudsman

What I'd do for this thread is link all pds and point out what pages all details are on so there is no chance of slight interpretation, make everyone read it themselves!

Cheers

Read?... Read?... Read?

Read is different from understand is it not?

Isn't the intention of an insurance company to furnish a PDS to be understood as well as read?

Surely, an insurance company would never ever draw up and distribute a PDS that couldn't be understood! Never!

So if one is to understand a PDS, how can he/she not compare one to another before making a decision?

I've spent hours joining the 'dots' and the PMs I've been getting tell me it's been well worth it.

VOILA!

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
