Fark birds you got ripped real quick

It'd cost you like $50 bucks to have the manifold and the spacer plate decked to be sure they were straight, cheap insurance.

Your manifold is probably warped

Yep as Peter said, you can choose to keep a log book for your peace of mind that's totally fine. I'm just saying NRMA are relying on their customers to be honest, otherwise they would be writing down all this stuff, or keeping their own log books on every one of their customers.

How is any of it enforceable??? You're not required to have a log book, they do not record your odometer, they do not ask you to inform them of every trip. It is an HONESTY system. If everyone keeps to the rules your premiums SHOULD stay the same, break the rules and drive more, and more accidents will happen = everyones premiums will rise. There's not really anything more to the 10 times / 9000km rule.

I'm not interested in arguing with you nor am I getting frustrated. I feel like we're saying pretty much the exact same thing only I'm saying 34 are not as good as 33, but it is negligible. I haven't posted test results because nobody listens on this forum regardless (thus why it took Piggaz and others pushing hard to convince people stock cams are the best for years before anyone agreed), I have done 20+ turbo swaps in the last year or so and the owners either choose to keep their stock dumps, or go HPI. I've seen stock 34 dumps go up to 370rwkw on E85 so they're not really a restriction in the grand scheme of things. 32 dumps yes while restrictive, will be fine for his power goal, which is what I was originally replying to, in that he doesn't NEED HPI dumps.

Where is this a fact exactly? I changed my statement as I remembered the wrong dump. Everything that we've done on the dyno points to 32 being the most restrictive, while 33 being the best for flow, and 34 trailing ever so slightly behind it, but only marginal. How much testing have you done?

Did you even read what I wrote? I said 33 is bigger than 32, thus that suggests that I'm meaning that the 32 is the restrictive one (notice I played on that in the first sentence?). 34 is definitely smaller than 33 dumps, "but not enough to matter". So you essentially said I'm incorrect while agreeing with what I said.

And make 320kw with standard dumps, or make 320kw with HPI dumps?

Actually brain fart, I thought about it for 2 seconds and went YEAH THATS RIGHT. 33 bigger than 32.. but I'm still sure 34's are more restrictive than 33, but not enough to matter.

You would be mistaken, as the 34 dumps are the smallest of the three dumps. I wouldn't be buying bigger dumps for a 300kw goal, I wouldn't port the manifolds either.

Stock 32/33 dumps will flow to just under 400awkw on 98 pretty easily, beyond that you're gonna need bigger dumps.

Yep exactly what I was thinking cheers, just yet to see the connectors in person and make a fair judgement. I'm using the LS2 coil packs, although they are the BS1251 part number, which one person in this thread has said they're the inferior made genuine ones. I upped the dwell by about 10% and that has made about 90% of the misfire go away for now, with maybe one hiccup as it hits boost. More investigation required!

You reckon? I'm not old by any standards, but as Terry said a clean original VSpec2 is going for 44k max ceiling, and mines HEAVILY modified now. Definitely try again, they said they've had a lot more skylines sign up recently. Probably due to this thread.

So alternator is rock solid. Added an extra 10% dwell through the rev range, has helped a lot, one tiny hiccup coming onto boost and then no problem after that. I do believe the factory springs and boots are the issue though. What else has everyone done to mount the LS2 coil packs directly onto the spark plug? I saw someone tried these terminals but not sure how they crimp onto the end of the coil pack.

Here's another question for you all. In the PDF it states: So, if they've acknowledged that it has illegal mods (upgraded brakes, loud exhaust), and have written that down and still agreed to cover you, then you should be covered for if you have an at fault accident. Then further down it states: So what I've taken from that is, if you have bigger Alcon/AP brakes, and they agree to cover you on that basis. They WILL cover you if you ram up the back of a Mercedes, but will replace the brakes with whatever the car came with factory (assuming the car is repairable). The lady on the phone also said you are covered if you have upgraded brakes that are not engineered, as long as they can be deemed working.

You wild

Yeah but you're all about appearancez hamich

Yep you're right, I was asked that on the phone as well.

Whats the difference when it comes to recreation when driving to your local hill run town and stopping for lunch, and going to your local Safeway and getting lunch?

NRMA might run their version of Vintage and Classic Insurance slightly different to RACV but I was told 9,000 on the phone, with no log book needed. What you say is correct though, please read through the PDS entirely and do not 100% rely on the OPINIONS of the members in this thread. Keep in mind if they choose to deny your claim, you will be battling against an insurance company with almost limitless resources to fight you. Don't tip the odds in their favour by taking risks like daily driving the car. I was told on the phone that what I've stated in previous replies is how it works regarding their expectations. I think it would be unreasonable to only ever use the car to drive to a destination and back every single time and the car must be under lock and key every single time, but it's what it states in the PDS.

You are covered. The lady I spoke to said using the car for daily duties, such as to and from work, and dropping and picking the kids up at school, would not be covered. I think it would be hard for them to deny you on a claim, unless you specifically stated that you had been using it as a daily for the past month to and from work. You can park it in the driveway of a friends house allowing that you have "made reasonable precautions to ensure the safety of the vehicle". So, as Bob said above, leaving it out in the open at a train station is a good way for you to be denied.

Alright just got off the phone with RACV Vintage and have taken out a policy with them. You MUST have a garage or car port for them to agree to cover you. You ARE allowed to drive the car to a friends house, stay the night there and have the car parked in their drive way, AS LONG as you have taken steps to ensure that it won't get stolen (double park it). It will be covered if broken into/stolen. They cover you on recreational drives, i.e Driving to Healesville, stopping for lunch and then going back home, that is covered. The 9,000km is an honesty policy, they do not take down your odometer on the start of your policy, they are relying on you to be honest and not daily drive the car. I have a 33 GTR highly modified, and they agreed to cover it for 44k, with a $701 dollar premium.

It sounds terrible, I'm not so sure 90% of the people in this thread that have a policy with them, would continue with them knowing they're only allowed to get in the car, drive in a circle not allowed to park ANYWHERE but back in their own Garage. I'm going to give them a call shortly and find out.

Really? I couldn't see anything about that in the Policy PDF?
