Gday,

Just bought my first Skyline - R33 GTSt.

Been getting insurance and NRMA QLD have a campaign where they beat ANY other quote by 10%.

Just saved myself 10% off the cheapest I could find - Just Car.

Excess is a little higher but they did agreed value and matched up all else, bargain.

Just though i'd share.

I'd be double and triple checking the fineprint there chief... Nobody Rapes More Australians aren't exactly known for their cuddly nature...

Yeah, good point. I'll check the docs, they have a 21 day cool off anyway eh. Seems a good deal tho but then again if it seems to good...

if something happens are they going to turn their back and be all

"oh i didnt realise you had aftermarket _____ _______ ______ _______, your insurance is void"

exactly!

Or "Skylines are imported now?!"

They're completely useless at anything apart from taking money from people.

This is a great example of why you really need to check that fine print.

My excess was only $400 with justcar $600 with NRMA, would still prefer the difference in my pocket if I don't claim.

I listed the mods it has (exhaust, rims) and it got added into the agreed value - same as justcar. I'll call and dbl check everything tomorrow now though.

I've been with them for various cars but all non-imported/ std cars, are they really that much of a shocker to deal with that nobody on here insures with them?

wan't there something on the TV this year about their customers being ripped off by shonky repair jobs.. And a whole lot of customers confronted a PR chick about it and she had to stand there and cop it..

Just Car & Shannons are designed for Enthusiasts & Imports.. Sure they charge a premium but they aren't going to turn around and leave you high and dry in most cases (unless there was something seriously wrong) as bad mouthing from the customers would see the business sent elsewhere.. So I would rather pay the higher price and know that if I have an accident then I will have little worry about getting it fixed, rather than paying less then having an accident and then a battle ensues regarding the payout/repairs..

I think once NRMA are made aware that your Skyline is an import, they will back out of the deal. Or they will keep your money and say that you didn't disclose the true nature of your vehicle and they do not have to refund your premium...

Just confirmed - they know it's an import, all mods covered as long as they are within rego compliance. I'd say it's a v different story with more highly modded vehicles but for mine (as it is now) it's cheaper and does the job.

I've been with them before and they paid out when my car got keyed years ago no probs, choice of repairer... unless QLD version is run totally differently then it should be right.

I'll still review other insurers in a few months as things change and it might get cheaper, or if I get more questionable mods then yeah.

They have done numerous things over time that come back and bite them... all their customers then come ringing on my phone to annoy me..

Fight for everything you can get for refunds.... they can't keep it if it's something that they shouldn't have covered in the 1st place, there's always a way to get a refund if it's legit... unless we're just nicer at Allianz...

Hi btw way... I'm back ;-)

Incorrect. NRMA do insure grey imports but at almost triple the price of any other insurer.

Can't agree on that one.

I did insured mu Till tray with them , only i couldn't get HOOK insurance as I am not registered for GST , so I went to AMP.

I was with NRMA with my first turbo car a vl turbo and when the worst happened. I crashed the nrma inspector went and looked at the car and said because i had a frontmount

intercooler they wouldnt pay to the repairer so after weekes of waiting i went to see how my car was going and nothing had happened. Then the repairer informed me of the hold

up i rung NRMA to find them trying to back out of repairing it even when i had the paperwork at home with intercooler listed in the mods. In the end they fixed it but took more

then 2 months to get repaired. SO In the end they might be cheaper but you will get f**ked round by them. But Just Cars was great after a tool ran into the back of my 34 and

wouldnt answer his phone or call me back. They gave the green ligh to the repairer and even with a month wait for parts was fixed faster.

I was with NRMA when I brought my R-33 GTS-t I had it 8 months till some dirty bastard in an XF wagon rear ended me at a set of lights, I paid $7500 for my 33 and NRMA put $10,000 in my hand 3 days after the crash ( bent passenger chassis rail ) as that was current market value and I had it modded with the usual bits of kit Front mount, exhaust, etc

NRMA are not too bad but make sure your getting the best coverage you can for your ride. I am with Just Car for my R-32 as NRMA wanted to cover it for 5k instead of the 10.8k JC will cover it for.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
