Ive had a number of problems insuring JDM Charades with Just Cars, I ALWAYS have to wait ages on the phone, they wanted written confirmation of my insurance history (never had a claim, had 5+ years insurance on many different cars), they wouldnt insure the car until they had seen it in the metal (both the DR30 and my G201 Detomaso), they wouldnt quote on the DR30 until they had the engine and chassis numbers, and even then they put the wrong model down on the quote.

The Just Cars quote I got was on a Rating One and was a couple of hundred more expensive for the premium, aswell as lower agreed value, higher excess than the Rating TWO Shannons quote (they have slightly different systems for working out the rating)... and my Shannons cover will be cheaper from next month... because I pay quarterly they change the price to the lower Rating One price 3 months in to the insurance contract.

Whats dodgy or silly about owning a nice car aswell thats much nicer to drive than the Skyline? The $90 classic rego is on that, not the Skyline... You couldnt put the Skyline on that scheme anyway.

I'd trust the paint and panel shops that Shannons use far in preference to what Just Cars/AAMI use. AAMI are known for delaying paying out aswell...

Anyway, who cares, I got a much better deal with Shannons than Just cars would give me, and I'm saving money while giving business to a company that has given me much better customer service

Sounds like a good price to me, but hey, just about everything does with the quotes I get :-(

I got a $2700 quote from Just Cars for a 2000 GTT, stock and I'm 25. The difference is of course I'm moving over from bikes, of which 3 have been stolen in just over 3 years (RGV, R6, R1). Everyone else I have called has pretty much laughed in my face. Personally I think it sucks that my insurance rating suffers from something that is not my fault, but hey what can I do?

Anyway, thought I'd add my quote to the list...

I'm 25, Rating 2 drive a lightly modified (Suspension, Full Exhaust, Wheels, Stereo) R34GTT and I'm insured with Just Cars.

$1580 fully comp, including the mods.

BASS OUT

EH? damn.. now I can't wait till I turn 25.. Coz you have more work done on your car than mine, surely my premium will go lower soon. :P

For future reference:

I was 28 when I bought my R34 GTT [18 months ago]. Insured with Shannons, Full Comp, Rating One protection, agreed value of $35K, Free Windscreen replacement yearly [comes in handy :cheers:]. No problems with them at all, most people on their phones are car enthusiasts like us. One guy was telling me about a Mazda MX-6 he modified etc. Better than talking to brick walls imo.

Hm what else, Mods covered, Pod, Exhaust Stereo gear to value of $3000 without premium increase, wheels, etc.

Didnt need to have Quick Trak or any other satellite tracking fitted, Excess is $500 regardless whether Accident or Stolen [they used to have theft excess, not any more]. I did have to have an Aust. Standard Alarm fitted on mine - most on the market comply with this, mine cost me about $400 fitted.

Premium: $1200 - Paying by the month :) [also get a joint policy discount and house insurance discount etc].

Yeah I've just been quoted $1745 through just cars myself which I nearly fell over at, I payed more under my dads name with my R33. I told them about loss of licence, mags, exhaust and stereo etc and was all fine. I'm 23 and managed to get a note from work saying i've been putting round in my work car for the last 5 years without a claim. :)

my 2 cents... with Suncorp-Metway, 29, rating 2, R33 GTS25t, wheels, stereo, zorst, suspension, no more mods allowed after that, lost my licence once for 6 months, $770, plus $1600 excess.

Think I'll contact Just Cars though and see what they say. At least they let you have unlimited mods. :D

      OEM Soko: Japanese business supplying Automotive items from Japan - Freebie inside!

      By Rezz · Posted

      We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning.

      Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?

      Rb20e and RB20DET parts

      By A31Skyline · Posted

      yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.
