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.

      Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
