Shannons wouldn't insure me because i don't have 5 years of driving experience (wtf?)

Just Car, 1170/yr for comp, with the excess adjusted all the way to the maximum. 287/yr for 3rd party.

Comp or 3rd party? Its just an auotmatic NA supra which i will probably sell off in about 2years

not very reassuring lol but i must agmit they have been 'nice' so far. no actual repairs have been carried out on the car yet lol

Get used to waiting. Its been 2 weeks and nothing helpful's been done to the GTR either.

I dont adjust my excess because thats just asking for trouble...on standard excess im still paying close to 3k a year for them to treat me like shit.

And, always go comp...because then they miiiight fix your car too. if you like their dodgy repairers.

LOL Just Cars Insurance... I'll be changing on renewal, to Shannons.

After my accident, I had it sent to choice of repairer. They insisted on picking it up and taking it to a better place, and claiming the shop I sent it to quoted second hand parts as opposed to the "better place" (which is BS because I know the people at the shop). A "better place" whom has replaced my type m grille with another type and asked me for $1500 because the front bar was a "special" one (which i've since told AAMI), not that I tried telling them about the car or whatever. AAMI now has the car and will deal with the repairer; I was just lucky enough to have a client whom is an AAMI accredited repairer and told me I had that option (because I did not want to deal with the repairer and was just going to let it be).

Albeit my concerns about the repairer's professionality, and the lack of confidence I had in the repairer, AAMI persisted it go back there under "strict" QA and sign off from AAMI before I pick it up. Heres hoping... :P

Lol dude look at the access with full adjustment. it make insurance not worth it haha you will be paying 3k access and 1.2k a year for comp. 4.2k :P

but on the other hand you will have the piece of mind in case of accident.... your call. Panel beater charger an arm and leg for their services!

again i say to you...what happens if someone hits YOU?

Even if youre the best driver in the world, other people arent. What if they dont have insurance?

Then youre pretty much f**ked.

Your choice.

Hi Cassandra, did you go to Sheen Panels in South Melbourne? and if you did, did you see a Bayside blue R34GTR there?

Alvin as everyone else has said accidents do happen, full comp gives you piece of mind.

until you hit a bently

+1.

Didn't see the 34, imagine it'd have been inside, only pulled my 33 into the driveway. Busy yard there. They said the getzes were booked up till mid July yet there were 2 there a the time? Beats me. I still haven't made a decision on the payout or sheen's yet. Like choosing between lubed rape and unlubed really...neither is really what I want :blink:

I would get 3d party at least. Personally I have always got comp, as it is good in that you know you are covered for most things. eg., if someone hits you, totals your car and seriously injures you it should be your insurance company who pays all your car bills, lost income, medical bills, compensation, etc. If you don't have comp insurance in that situation, good luck getting the money from the other party (usually a penniless uninsured unregistered scumbag) in the courts. Also, in many situations you will have an accident even if you are a very careful driver.

eg., if the car in front of you brakes suddenly for whatever reason and you hit them, it is always your fault.

In many cases where the other party is at fault, where there are no witnesses (or worse - retarded witnesses taking the other person's side) it's just your word against someone else's, and the insurance companies don't know who is at fault.

well everyone, i got the GTR back last arvo from Sheen Panels in south Melbourne, i spent about half an hour going over the repairs and paint job and i have to say the workmanship is perfect. all panels were aligned perfectly as i measured the gaps and the paint was matched exactly to factory. all parts fitted are brand new. can't even tell it's been repaired.

i'll give'em 10/10 for repairs and painting. i highly recomend them. that's coming from someone that is perdantic when it comes to my car. also had 8 people and my work mechanic (use to work as a panel beater) at work go over the repairs this morning and they all say they did a very good job and that i should be happy with it.

I think the gtr is going there early July. Glad to hear you got an awesome Result. Boosts our confidence in them ;) thanks for the report!

Yeah i was expecting to find something wrong and have to leave it there to get fixed, but repairs are all good :thanks: .

Also apparently the assesor has approved to have Cassandra's car repaired aswell :yes: .

    • Not yet, might end up being easter now, didn't end up getting time off over xmas.    I've been seeing some concerning things online now too. Lots of people with issues, could all be setup issues but the consequences in some cases are significant.    All of the below are other peoples stories, not mine and are unverified.  Seen 2 x broken adapter ring that destroyed the gearbox as it failed.   They still do seem to have twin plate rattle despite claims of silent. Several issues with it not holding power but some evidence of constant pressure on plate. Setup issues with bite point.   Lot of people after 2-4 weeks swapping back to another brand.    On the positive side, I've seen a barra put down near 1000hp at the wheels and its held it.  Also everyone seems to confirm the pedal is light.    Does have me a little cautious and looking at ATS carbon clutches again .......        
    • I'm late to the party on this one but good to see common sense has prevailed and the turbo kit is coming. 
    • She's looking good Greg. Colour suits it perfectly 👍
    • I had a look at the FAB9 EFR kit, around $8500 AU before delivery, so add in shipping, installation, consumables and tuning, I believe the price difference would be negligible  And whilst I am paying top dollar at MX5 Mania, if I have any issues with the kit they are local for support,  and from my experience, will happily go out of their way to help, hell, I've purchased parts from them and asked "how do I install or remove parts" and they have fitted a few of them for free, this means more to me than saving a few thousand dollars And yes, 99% of the time I just plod around in the car, that may change once I start hearing turbo whooshy noises, but, as I have 3 family members is the constabulary, even when I'm up it, it is only up to the speed limit, or occasionally, but rarely, overtaking on the Hwy (I just plod in the left lane typically and enjoy the drive) Plus the kids would never let it go if I got booked speeding, Jackie is constantly getting critiqued by the kids about her driving, which I think is hilarious, and tell them that she is "bringing shame to our family", so heaven forbid if I ever got done speeding, after all my mouthing off about her driving, I would never live it down, and it would be another thing she would bring up any chance she got Like the time I got drunk about 15 years ago and fell out of a cab, which gets brought up at least a few times every year since it happened Good times
