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.

could you send us a copy also, thank you in advance.

also does this sound right, I am with famous, have a 1992 GTST r32 manual, live in sydney and am paying $2300 per year with huge excess, i am rating 1, 23 yrs old, have one speeding fine in last 5 years and one at fault accident (depending on which insurance company i ask, I hit a ROO and wrote the car off).

are other people payinf similar?

*edit* also car is pretty much stock 3inch dump pipe back, 17's, nice head deck, top of the line alarm/immob, turbo timer and that is about it!

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..

    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
