Yeah I get the feeling they are super busy.  If you just keep asking them it will happen for you.

Why do you want to add me to your policy Carlo?  You know that diff failure is not covered no matter who is driving.

They might be busy, but it should not take 2 months to make a simple change to the policy. If they are that busy then they should take on extra staff or expand the business.

ROFL.. My baby wont be tortured or abused by you!! hehehehehe (hides keys)

Hey boys and girls, I'm in the process of upgrading from my VL (first car) and sticking with the RB's thought R33 would do nice, so I've had two quotes so far for slight mod R33's just cars at 22 with rating 4 3 speeding fines over 3 yrs $1900 $1500 excess. young and cool same deal $3200 laughed my ass off at the guy on the phone. though told him about just cars and he laughed as well before I hung up on him. :rofl: oh I'm from QLD just wondering if any other QLD ppl with better quotes though I can get written up as a rating 2.

Any help much appreciated.

How does famous feel about younger drivers driving very rare occasions?

For example I work 6 days a week and my younger brother (18) had to take my car to the auto elecy for me the other week - would I need him on my policy as that would no doubt shoot the price up...

I've got a policy with jut car insurance - 2600 per year - 2200 excess

i'm 19 - rating 6 - no offences etc and the cars a non turbo stock 33

The other day, I rang up to check why I have not receive my 2004 policy, however when I received it, the NCB is not list on paper, nither the NCB protection, I rang back ask them, why they were not listed any more, after dragful conversation (can't remember the name of guy has Irish irish's accent..), they said all the new policy if it has NCB and NCB protection before, then it will has automatically (but won't list on paper ......cough "BS" cough), but when I check the policy booklet, it has no where listed...

anyway cut the story short, I went to Shanons, for extra $200, with only $400 excess (1000 for famous)..with all features that Famous can't provide and list on my policy,(which you wn't see anywhere from my famous policy), such as

* Chose repairer,

* Life NCB protection

* $400 basic excess

more..

anyway, I believe Famous has better price, but for extra 200, I have piece of mind..

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
