well my renewel is cummin up with just cars and my premium has gone up to 3995 and my agreed value of the car has dropped to a crappy 25k. how the hell does that work.

i just got a quote pretending to be a new cust and was quoted 2500.

i guess my question is what if i made a new account and just paid the 2500 premium instead of the 4k.

and yes my details were identical

You are entitled to cancel or not renew your contract and accept the new quote - so long as details are disclosed as is. Why not? They are simply messing with rates/sum insured to screw you by the sounds of it.

Ring the insurance company and tell them your not happy with the renewal

Generally they will try and bump up the agreed value, but as the trade off you pay slightly more for your premium

Give and take really

yeah i remember you starting a few threads on here about accidents you had, including 1 involving a commodore who sped off. that would have affected your no claim bonus. anyway, didnt Just Cars spend lots of money fixing your car? a premium increase on their behalf isnt a big deal, especially after they pay to get your car back on the road and all fixed.

This sounds like a loss of no claim bonus. Regardless of fault in your claims, if you were not able to obtain third party details for your insurer to claim off the other party, you may have lost part of it.

Yea thats true, if you make a claim wether its your fault or not it effects your rating and your premium at the end of the year, if you think about it this way, if someone hit you and they went through their insurance its all good cos just cars didn't do anything, if you claim and its not your fault your premium goes up, those sonsofbitches. And if you get a prick of a assesor and he spots something on your car thats not listed they wont cover you... But the value of the car depreciates every year unfortunatly so its not suprising that its gone down that much cos the same thing happened to me. Just call them and start asking them 1000 questions and dont get off the phone until your satisfied.

the amount of crashes you have had (regaurdless of whether you are at fault) is going to affect your costs.

you could try applying for insurance under the new quote but more than likely 1 of the 2 following will happen:

1: they look up your details and put the price up anyway.

2: they don't put your price up and if you have an accident they look up your previous details and refuse to pay.

as for the value of the car. once it has been in that many accidents the value is going to drop. no-one wants a car that has been dinged up heaps of time. and there are that many skylines out there now they aren't worth much.

so harden the f**k up and get your daddy to pay it.

      Should I use rust converter on this?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      The easiest option might be to just spray a bunch of fish oil in there.  At least that way you can feel like you've done something while you continue to ignore it

      I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.

      I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.

      @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
