any1 know if justcar's roadworthy policy applies throughout Aus or just with the state's laws ?

we all know each state has different rules about car mods etc. but i wanted to know if justcar's roadworthy policy was different in every state. or do justcar extract all of the state's law and use them as a whole.

coz i rang up justcar letting them know that i've applied stickers onto my car. the customer service rep said the stickers must be roadworthy etc otherwise i will not be payed in the event of a claim. i kinda freaked out from here since i never knew stickers "may" be seen as a defect.

also, any1 here have vicroad's technical support email or ph no. ? please dont give me the one off the site as ive used it many times to ask questions and none of the responses they gave me answered my question directly.

any help would be good.

Stickers that are on the car and non reflective and don't obscure vision would be ok.

I think they're kinda disclaiming themselves agains't idiots who put fat ass'ed ye olde english "HONDA" and "HOLDEN" stickers on their cars that cover half the windshield.

If it's not against the law, then it should be.

Reflective stickers can be a real distraction when they reflect the sun into your face.

It's no different to driving behind those morons who think it's a good idea to hang those crystal orb things off their rear view mirror...... ever been stuck in traffic behind someone who has one of those?

If you're compelled to rice your car, do it in a way that doesn't affect other road users around you... sometimes all you need is common sense. :)

when ever i called Justcars to ask question's i always get different answears from different reps. it might be a good idea to call the second time "even thought it's annoying that you have to wait" to ask the same question and you'll see what i mean, specially if there new on there job.

One thing to note as I have friends working in insurance is that if you enquire about something for you car in the past, they will have the information in front of them on the screen.

eg. rang on friday.. can I have these 18" wheels on my car? can I have a learner driver drive it?

Claim on sunday... I crashed my car...

The first thing they'll check in detail is the wheels, and who was driving

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
