Need A Cover Note

I doubt Just Cars have stopped providing cover notes.

If you need a cover note, call them and advise that you wish to start an insurance policy. Once you've given all the details, you can then ask to have the policy sent to you. At that time, they'll activate your policy and give you 14 days to pay. Obviously, if you don't pay within the 14 days then your insurance/cover note will be cancelled.

I personally think Just Cars are a ripoff though and I don't deal with them anymore myself. I've got my car insured with Shannon's these days :D

ecro33 your right mate. thats exactly what they do. i have to go with them. got one guy the second time around who knocked about $800 off my quote because i am 21 and turn rating 3 in less than two months and this was including the 12 month suspension of my license for speeding (not drink driving). all up $1800 full comp with an array of mods.

Why do people think Just Cars are bad? I got a few internet quotes for insurance and they seemed pretty reasonable. Note that I am 20 with no driving offences living in a good area of West Aust. I have found that their rates are lower than most others, and would insure me for cars that others wouldn't. Replys would be great as I was looking at insuring my R32 through them when my current policy (with suncorp) expires.

Got my 32 GTST insured with them for $2200. A bit pricey but I know it will steadily go down as I build my NCB (currently 30% I think) and as the birthdays roll by. I'm 20 currently, with no accidents or convictions. The good thing is the offer unlimited mods- as long as they are roadworthy under the premium charged.

They usually match or better the online quote so if you got a good quote I'd give them a go. Plus you have the security of the underwriting by AAMI, whether or not that's a good thing I am yet to find out.

Just Cars premium's weren't too bad, but their excesses are absolutely ridiculous.

Just to compare quotes for my 97 R33 GTST (24 y/o, 60%NCB, good driving record, Sydney)...

I pay just over $1500/year ($500 excess max) with Shannons.

Just Cars quoted me $1650/year ($1800 excess, plus extra for wheels and stereo).

In addition, Shannon's allowed me to determine an agreed value for the car much higher than what Just Cars would allow. They also allow me to choose my own repairer in the case of an accident and they also provide pay by the month....Just Cars don't do either.

Additionally, Just Cars screwed me over when I asked for a refund on a policy which I had on another car. They refused to refund me and instead were only prepared to issue me with a credit note. I threatened to contact the department of fair trading and funnily enough, eventually got my refund.

I'd only ever use Just Cars again if I didn't have a choice.

$1628 Justcars

Rating 6 never had insurance, car has a fair few mods, $1200 excess.

$1878 shannon's same as above, cant remember the excess, only better thing bout shannon's is that my car is agreed value to what i bought it at.

where as just cars was $4100.

Will probably go with shannon's based on agreed value, no extra to pay by the month.

It all comes down to how they calculate the premium based on what info you have. Certain insurance companies rate areas, age and the car differently.

For example i'm under 25 (just barely) living in the eastern suburbs and with a colourful driving history. My current ride is a 280zx.

My insurance turned out to be $180 cheaper at CGU than with Justcars. And if memory serves me correct Shannons was about $100 cheaper than Justcars as well.

but when I had the 300zx about 2 years ago, with a less of a driving record and a different suburb in the east, Justcars was considerable cheaper than all the rest, by about $500 if i remember.

All insurers will issue a covernote. It's like a grace period before you purchase the policy. I took one out only 2 months ago with justcars. But by the time I did the rounds with other insurance companies and found a cheaper quote, I just didn't take out the insurance policy with justcars and in 14 days time they canceled the policy. simple as that.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
