I've just renewed the insurance on my 33 with JustCar, and was surprised to see the agreed value had dropped to $12,850. I thought agreed value was a figure that was agreed upon, unlike Market value, which drops every month/year.

I told JustCar about $4k of upgrades, and they increased the agreed value by about $200!!! I complained, saying i want a higher agreed value, and want to pay more premium because i dont want to be underinsured, and the most they could raise it to was $14,250.

Has anyone has similar problems with JustCar? I'm thinking of speaking to Shannons for a quote now.

Thats pretty bad but i cant say ive heard good things about just cars, a friend of mine who does insurance (not cars) warned me not to go with just cars but go for H2P i got a way better quote with them then what i did with Just Cars so you should give them a call too :laugh:

I've had a few 'average' experiences with Just Car insurance.

Many years ago I was insured with JC, very briefly! They were... 'insert a four letter word here'

I also had a young guy in a S14 200SX that decided he would turn right from the left hand lane of a two lane roundabout whilst I was proceeding straight ahead - he was insured with JC. I was in my girlfriend’s car at the time and it was covered by AAMI, which JC are connected with. Without going into detail all I will say is I was absolutely blown away by how unprofessional JC were at handling their client and his at-fault claim. I also found out that AAMI doesn’t really liaise with JC at all - food for thought.

I am currently insured with Ryno Insurance Services. These guys are fantastic to deal with, offer a better level of service than Shannons (having dealt with Shannons in the past) and cater specifically to the modified enthusiast market. I have agreed value of $38,000.

Yep i was with Just Car, and they were shit. I hadnt made a claim and when it came to paying my new premium they had increased it. Simply because Skylines had been in more prangs or more had been knocked off so, everyone that owns one, gets screwed rather than rewarding those who dont claim. I had been a rating one and been with them for years too!

Thats why i went to Shannons. Agreed value, $16,500 for R33 GTST with mild mods. Choice of repairer etc.

I need to get out of JustCar, my 95 33 is agreed at only 10k and they can't do any better!!!

If I ring them and tell them I want it valued higher and threaten to change companies will they raise it?

my 32 gtst is insured with RAA H2P, in my first 12 months with them i had an agreed value of 17,000 and paying $73 per month

when i followed that on for another 12months they sent me out the new agreement stating that this had dropped to 14 something and now i pay $85 a month...

i think i might soon get off my ass and see if there are some better opportunities with insurers.

i dont really get how it works, it costs more for me to fully insure my ford laser (02 model with about 6k of mods) than a skyline or rex... i mean serioously, i think i have more chance of something bad happening in a turbo, than a fwd 1.6....

ever time i call justcar insurance i get a diffrent answer.

Absolutely true, I have found if you don't like the initial answer call back again later. First person wanted approx. $1500 yearly because I was rating 2, second person said I was rating 1 and only had to pay $890/ year.

just cars doesn't seem to make much sense then, my 93 r33 gtst agreed value is $15,000. dunno how that 95 skyline is only agreed @ $10,000. I've only got a few mods aswell, been with just cars for 3+ years and haven't had any major probs.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
