I was delighted to discover today that my policy renewal with Just Car has gone up $400 to $1700 this year, and that's on top of the $200 it went up by last year. The car and mods are the same. Agreed value is the same and the suburb and address are the same.

Has anyone else had their Just Car premium rise this year? I think it might be time to jump ship...

Just car did a similiar thing to me on renewal earlier this year, wanted $200 more for the year with a gay excess and agreed(note market)value on the car

I went to Shannons and they did the same price, with more than half the excess, and a higher agreed value.

Was disappointed in Just cars, as I have always had insurance with them and found them to be fantastic to deal with in regards to claims. Just a shame they can't honour good customers and the periods they have been insured with them for and "reduce" their premiums irrelevant of the car insured.

Anyways, Shannons get my money now.

It's not surprising, seeing that more and more Skylines are here, and getting stolen / binned so the payout ratios are now higher.

Therefore, the risk rating on the car goes up, and you pay more.

Solution - don't bring any more skylines in!

My Just Cars premium went up by $90 last month. I rang them and they said there was nothing they could do about the increase, stating that it was based on their opinion of the risk of the car, and the amount of claims they have had over the last year for cars of the same type as mine (R32 gtst).

I complained and they increased my agreed value back to what it was last year, but the premium couldnt be reduced. shannons couldnt meet the price.

    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
    • February update 🙂 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear!
