guys what is the deal with insurance as if you have an accident

iam getting insurnace for my 180sx in prob feb next year.

now i have been driviing for 1 year third parity and iam 50 50 driver.

and just cars wont put me on rating 5 the bastards.

but if you do have an accident what is the deal? does your rating drop down by 1 or does it go all the way back to 6?

if i was on rating 1 and had an accident and it was my fualt will it drop? and if it wasnt my fault what happends?

and also if you had insurance with another company like racv on your parents car . like one of you guys said. and then you have an accident with your car what happends

there hehe

As far as I know:

1. If you have an accident and need to make a "claim", you lose your "no claim" bonus, I presume you go back to the worst rating

2. 3rd Party Comprehensive does NOT give you a no claim bonus.

Just Cars told me last week they don't acknowledge that you are on your parents policy. They said they don't, don't want to know, not counting for didly squat. So check which insurer you go through first before applying this idea.

I do know Suncorp will take it. But as my mother has sinced passed away, and there is not record of me being on this policy i got no chance.

Sorry to hear about that dude.

While on hold with Just Car on the telephone they say that if you have have third party cover for the last 5/6 years, they will give you 60%NCB.

Suncorp is a more reputable company but once you are over 2 mods and are <25 ur insurance premium skyrockets.

Most young ppl i know are with Just Car, but i would like to know anyone who has had to claim with them. Good or bad. So if u can PM me of any experiences that would be great.

that is if you have had third party with them only i believe. i remember the hold messages. i've spent alot of time on hold with insurance companies

NIZ30 is right about Just Cars not accepting your NCB if you were a nominated driver. you need to have had cover under your name for them to acknowledge it. i tried this one too:(

Just Cars Insurance is operated by AAMI, so they are just as reliable as Suncorp. I am 22 and went through Just Cars to insure my R32 GT-R for $3200, i can do unlimited modifications to my car as long as 1. I tell them and 2. They are roadworthy. The next cheapest was AAMI itself for $4400....

I've just moved from canberra to sydney. Im with Suncorp. I told them of the change of address and my premium has almost doubled. man I thought Mosman would be low risk. Any way called up famous, there qoute was better than I had with suncorp in canberra.

Are these people reputable, saw there add in HPI. Or are they too good to be true???

    • That's awesome, well done! Love all these older Datsun / Nissans so rare now
    • As I said, there's trade offs to jamming EVERYTHING in. Timing, resources etc, being the huge ones. Calling out the factory ECU has nothing to do with it, as it doesn't do any form of fancy boost control. It's all open loop boost control. You mention the Haltech Nexus, that's effectively two separate devices jammed into one box. What you quote about it, is proof for that. So now you've lost flexibility as a product too...   A product designed to do one thing really well, will always beat other products doing multiple things. Also, I wouldn't knock COTS stuff, you'd be surprised how many things are using it, that you're probably totally in love with As for the SpaceX comment that we're working directly with them, it's about the type of stuff we're doing. We're doing design work, and breaking world firsts. If you can't understand that I have real world hands on experience, including in very modern tech, and actually understand this stuff, then to avoid useless debates where you just won't accept fact and experience, from here on, it seems you'd be be happy I (and possibly anyone with knowledge really) not reply to your questions, or input, no matter how much help you could be given to help you, or let you learn. It seems you're happy reading your data sheets, factory service manuals, and only want people to reinforce your thoughts and points of view. 
    • I don't really understand because clearly it's possible. The factory ECU is running on like a 4 MHz 16-bit processor. Modern GDI ECUs have like 200 MHz superscalar cores with floating point units too. The Haltech Nexus has two 240 MHz CPU cores. The Elite 2500 is a single 80 MHz core. Surely 20x the compute means adding some PID boost control logic isn't that complicated. I'm not saying clock speed is everything, but the requirements to add boost control to a port injection 6 cylinder ECU are really not that difficult. More I/O, more interrupt handlers, more working memory, etc isn't that crazy to figure out. SpaceX if anything shows just how far you can get arguably doing things the "wrong" way, ie x86 COTS running C++ on Linux. That is about as far away from the "correct" architecture as it gets for a real time system, but it works anyways. 
    • Holy hell! That is absolutely stunning! Great work!!!
    • It does when you start adding everything else in. But it's not just compute. It's the logic. Getting your timing right (I'm not meaning ignition timing for the engine). Making sure of your memory mappings, seeing your interrupts. Microcontroller devices only have so much capacity. For the most part, you want all those timers and interrupts in use on your engine control, which means you're left with less than ideal methods for timing and management of other control functions.   Let's put it this way, my job is all about building custom hardware, that goes into cars, and integrates with them. We're also waiting on a media confirmation from SpaceX too fora world first we've just completed with them in NZ too. It's not just the little toys I play with. But you know, you can think and believe what you want.
