First of all its not for my car in case you think ive stacked it lol

How just car works is that you have to go to 1 jci recommended repairer then one of your choice. Obviousy we picked Micolour as the choice repairer. Now we know insurance companies are assholes and will send you to the cheapest one. I just want to know who has gotten stuck with the just car insurances repairer, where they went and how they would rate the job.

Any input will be appreciated

Cheers

I don't think JCI would ever pick one of their non-preferred repairers. That said, Sheen Panels in City Rd, South Melbourne is on their list and are pretty good.

yes there good had the stagea fixed there.turn around was 10 days and they give you a loan car was very happy with there work and car was fully detailed as well

my car is currently at Sheen Panels in City Rd, South Melbourne, it's been there 10 weeks and counting. but once a fortnight i go have a look and from what i've seen the premises is very good/repairs on other cars there were very good aswell. was told i get my car back next week. i'll tell you how my car comes out when i get it back.

Awesome. Let me know mate :)

My experiences with Just Car have been horrible. They told me my car was a complete wreck that wasn't worth the time and money to repair. So i was supposed to get paid out since accident wasn't my fault. So i paid the $650 i think it was for the claim. That was well over a year ago and i still havn't gotten any money back. I tried to chase the matter up but apparently my file has no record of crash history although i lost a rating. Fantastic work from those ***holes =[

All in all i am $650 short, meant to be paid out but wasnt and lost 1 rating.

But as Matt said, take it to your own repairer, i wouldn't trust theirs and at least you can keep track of the car with someone you know.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that originally they sent me to a place in Moorabbin to get the car fixed. The guy there bought all the parts which then Just Car turned around and said the car isn't going to be repaired. So i had an angry panel beater and Just Car denying anything happened about a repair being made since they never sent the money to him, he bought the parts first, so he wanted ME to pay for them. It just got really messy and i don't want to have to go through crap like that again =[

Damn Andrew that sounds like a massive headache. Only problem is that just cars decides whether it goes to your repairer or the recommended one. Assessor is coming on thurs so I'm going to have a good word with him. If they choose their recomended repairer I am going to make shit fly

Is this a GTR you are talking about?

Well they do, and do it all the time.

There are many factors in such decisions, but its far from uncommon.

Yea ash it's the GTR.

They said they consider the price and the detail of the quote. I know Mick will do a very detailed quote. Guess we will see soon enough

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
