No, d and j are completely different consonants. D is a voiced stop, while j is a fricative. dʒ does indeed have a a d sound, but a pure j does not.
Washington, do you pronounce the first syllable of "Justin" differently than "just"?

j = /dʒ/ = dzh
J in English is an affricate, so it begins with a stop (d) and then finishes with a fricative (ʒ, like the 'z' in azure or the 's' in Asia). It's the voiced version of ch.

Where I am from, the "cut" vowel is used most.

@Kelly: can you translate your post into XSAMPA or fauxnetics? IPA symbols are not viewable on my browser.

...honestly, i think a lot of americans (maybe even the majority? can we get a show of hands?) pronounce just as [dʒʌs].
I pronounce it [ʒʌst]. I really don't understand why people keep sticking a d in it. Can someone supply a sound file of it being pronounced with a d?
>> I pronounce it [ʒʌst] <<
I'm most certainly sure that you don't. [ʒ] is the "zh" sound--as in the "s" in the word "Asia". Unless you're French, I'm sure you don't use [ʒ].
What you mean is that you use [ʤ]. [ʤ] is the ligature for that sound. You can also you a bar to tie the d and the ʒ together, or just write a d followed by a ʒ, which is what many people did above. This sound is an affricate.
According to Wikipedia: "Affricates are consonants that begin as stops (most often an alveolar, such as [t] or [d]) but release as a fricative (such as [s] or [z] or occasionally into a fricative trill) rather than directly into the following vowel."
