There is now GIO CUSTOM CAR Insurance...

They are heaps better than Just Car.. I left Just Car as my annual renewal premium went down by $25 however the cars value apparently dropped by $4k! stuff that!

just car are very dear. although i had an accident and it was in for repair the following week, and a good job was done so i was very happy with that...

but on another note a friend of mine had his Rx7 series8 stolen 6 months ago and they still havent paid him out yet.

Quick question regarding insurance...

I stacked my work rigid last week into a cow (yes, a cow).

When I am asked this question, is it relating to my car or any vehicle?

"Accidents/claims where you (being the Youngest Driver) were responsible..."

I wasn't in the wrong since a bloody cow shouldn't have been crossing the FREEWAY as it fell off the back of a transporting truck (guess I put it out of its misery before it got to the slaughter house!)

They do need to know everything.

Although being a work vehicle, Im not sure if your 'personal' insurance from your private car would be affected. Either way Id ask....

If it was your own car, and you hit a cow, horse, kangaroo, pelican! it is deemed an at fault/penalty claim cause your insurer cannot claim from that animal!

ive been with just cars for about 2+ years now

they seem reasonable and rates/prices are ok

just make sure you read all of the policy items - including the excess's for example for my car its;

1200 for the car

1400 for a male over 25

wheels excess i think is 1200 etc etc

so if the car gets flogged its 1200

if i stack it its 2600 for a claim etc

also check market value

you can list mods to bump up the value, ie GTR seats increases value, stereo increases value, so literally add everything

i added to my policy

- gtr pump

- gtr seats

- powerfc

- exhaust

- intercooler

- boost controller

- digital speedo

- wheels & tyres

- stereo

- pod filter

hi paul33

did u declare ur have a pod filter? the reason i ask is they say it has to legal/roadworthy and if it not engineered then is ur insurance void?

I have been with just car for a few years now, and I find them way to expensive.

I'm swapping to Shannons ($920 premium, partial use, 22yo plenty of fines + lisence loss, car insured for 21k) and buying a cheap daily.

I switched from justcars to HBF, premium is $1040 excess is $250! This is an r34 gtt.

Free windscreens, no second hand parts, no dodgy new policies like they decide everything about the claim.

Middle of last year justcars majorly changed their policies and I swore I'd change.

I find Just Car to be fine...beCause i'e never needed to make Claim! For my R33 (only a couple speeding fines, full licence, 23yo.) and it's $1800.

Is that hectic pricey?

I'm reconsidering comprehensive when this 12 months expires, the car isn't really worth a great deal and i can't see the point. Anyway if anyone is in my shoes some second opinons would be handy :teehee:

I think it's quite pricey, I got quoted around $1800 for comprehensive on my 96 S2 R33 valued at $10,500

and I've been driving for over 5 years with no at fault accidents, I'd expect it to be under $1500

If your insured with AAMI or just cars, shannons, insuremyride,Allianz and GIO it's still under one company Suncorp-Metway Limited.

Just make sure you realise that Just Car's "choice of repairer" policy is completely full of it (as some others' version of choice are too). Like so:

They tell you to get a quote from a repairer YOU choose.

They also tell you to get a quote from someone on their 'approved repairer' list

They award the job to whoever does the 'most comprehensive' quote.

Guess who wins 99% of the time. NOT YOUR CHOICE.

Just Car will insure you when other companies won't, so that's a positive in their favour. However, they are fond of the old rape-your-wallet trick. If my car got stolen under them I would pay almost 2 grand in excesses!! Base excess, excess for car, and excess for theft. Now that I keep the car in a locked garage I can get Shannons, similar premium but $500 excess across the board. Much better.

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
