I have to make a claim after a crash today, crashed in a Hyundai, my fault and was also rear ended by a fellow Skyline owner. I will deal with the specifics over the phone etc, but I can't find a true desciption of how RATING ONE PROTECTION helps me in this instance, does anyone know exactly how it helps?. This is my first claim.

So, what insurers can we consult who are not AAMI affiliates? JustCars can blow me for that very reason, as can Shannons now they're allied to those pricks.

I need to insure my car soon, I'm 26 years old, HR31 Skyline GTS; and my missus needs to insure hers, but thats a whole other kettle of fish, being its both a Stagea AND she is currently on her L's, P's later in the year (she's 26, late starter, I'm not some cradle snatcher!).

I've had bad experience from both sides with AAMI and their stooge companies, so I want an insurer for both that has NOTHING to do with AAMI or the parent group.

Yea I got a quote from them today for my R32 GTST with a built rb24 full respray etc for $1200 a year plus and heres the figures $1500 car excess + $300 standard excess + $350 age excess to cover me with rating 1 and value of $12000 on the car...

Who else is there who covers imports?

^^^ +1

More Companies = More competition

Compared to Just Car, a couple of the above offer 'Pay by the month'

Always try to have $$ to get "Agreed Value" over "Market Value" payout figure. Fingers get burnt when insurance companies are left to estimate (in their own favour) just how much your precious (grey import) car is worth should it be stolen.

If you have a daily, you can also get a heavy discount from one of the above since they (and we) know that you can only drive one car at a time. So both cars can be put under the one policy.

Always supply details of upgrades when you mod.

Cheers,

ive used just cars for all 6 of my high powered cars and ive never had a problem with them... their service has been great, and prices... although still expensive... much much cheaper than other big names like nrma, aami, and suncorp etc.

Just Cars , and now Shannons, are AAMI.

Same people, same offices, your correspondence has a different letterhead and thats about it.

i was told by racq "my car is unacceptable" and they hung up

i have just cars full comp inc my 22 yo gf (no not my gf insured - she driving it)

yes you get raped by insurance companies they are pretty much all the same but if shit hits the fan you may pay out half of your car but not the other which may just be the ducks nuts...

so i guess you get raped with a smaller object rather than the whole forearm and clenched fist

they were good and nice while taking my money but hopefully i'll never need to use them...

Ive been with them for 3 years now.

First year $2500

Second year $2100

Thrid year $1800

PS: i was 17 when i first got it.

Im changing off them as soon as it runs out in july as i havent had any claims so i should be able to find someone else that will insure me.

my car got broken into the other week, called them up to find out excess for a broken window and they quoted me $1950 excess. whats the point of having insureance if yoiu cant use it?

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
    • Twas your car many moons ago that gave me the idea!
