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

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
