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

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
