Just did a online quote for 32 GTR, and it's $500-800 a year cheaper than R33.

A car without airbags and slighty weaker chassis is cheaper to insure, lolwut?

what!? really who with? never heard of it going up with any claims..did you modify your policy? add mods?

Nope. Didn't add anything. They are using the hail damage claims as a "reason" to up premiums to recoupe the costs.

Someone also called JCI and was told of using hailstorms that happened on last xmas as a excuse to jack up the premiums.

Pretty pathetic if you ask me.

Just go Shannons!

I was with Just Cars but this year they reduced my agreed value and up the premium.

Shannons gave me a cheaper premium and kept my higher agreed value from what Just Cars gave me last year.

Shannons only managed to shave $30 off a year, hardly worth parking it in garage every night for.

RACV, with $2k excess, they want $972 for 32 GTR and $1397 for R33 GTR...

But your excess is higher...

So in a sense it evens itself out.

But if RACV is doing you good so far then just stick with that.

Well, not that keen on paying $2k excess should the time comes to when I have to make an claim. And RACV doesn't list their 'market' value on the website so I looked through Redbook, I felt it isn't worth paying $2k excess for $12k 32 GTR. Plus I'm unsure how flexible RACV are with modifications.

Ah ok, I see.

Still, give Just Cars and Shannons and negotiate to an agreement of what suites both you and them best.

Old plastic clove clip things nissan seem to love are so annoying! Managed to only break half of 1 though... Taking off the plastic wheel arch thingy took a proper awhile trying not to break those brittle bastards lol. Think years of outside work hardened them :S

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
