Well, how is this lads.

My cousin rang up late last week and got a quote to insure a 180sx. We purchased the car on the weekend and are picking it up tonight. He rang RAC this arvo and they said that the quote is now void because they are not insuring any new business who drive imports...existing customers are ok however.

This is for a guy who is 32 with 50% NCB!!! He managed to get a covernote through Wesfarmers (who he works for) anyway, and is calling Riaz I think because he fits into their +30 yr old age bracket.

Bastards...

when looking for insurance i had a few quotes and although RAC was high i nearly went with them, but i didn't, which was lucky because now they won't.

anyhow, i went with 'famous classic car insurance' as a last resort (as i had the car and was test driving :D and they turned out nearly $110 cheaper than RAC.

- $704 pa with 60% no claim :D) $450 under 25 excess and $250 minumum whatever... so give them a try?

looks like their site is being upgraded.

carry on!

After skyzerr33 started this thread I was getting worried that I would not get any insurance, but I rang yesterday to confirm my quote with RAC, the person on the other end of the phone brought up the quote with no worries, and I justed ask how long is it valid for etc, the point being I was waiting for their system to say the quote was no longer valid which it didn't!

Which backs up hks-s14 story "they said that the quote is now void because they are not insuring any new business who drive imports...existing customers are ok however." I hope/think this is the reason why my quote is still ok, ie I have a car currently insured with RAC among other things!

called RAC as they didn't call back

who wants to guess what my yearly premium is now for a:

1994 R33 GTST

25 years old 60% no claim?

i'll post the new amount later but for now u can guess and i'm a happy chappy so if you know what i already pay its less :D

    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
