this will definitely be useful, as i may be inspecting a 34 next week!

The NRMA PDS has so many omissions in it > bit of a nightmare > had to rely on a 10 min phone conversation with staff.

Just Car PDS will be perused next - again, sorry for the delay to this thread as well as PMs.

Well, just called up 2 brokers in Sydney. Asked about "nissan skyline".

1. Sorry we don't do those vehicles, we are a relatively small broker and only do mums and dads types of cars. =(

2. advice given: It would be much cheaper to go direct to the insurance company than to go through a broker for this type of vehicle.

also just tried to get an online GIO quote, BROKE THE WEBSITE

Learning as we go!

At last...

Just Car PDS details have now been posted throughout "Topic Headings" in Posts #2 to 11.

Another insurance company that covers 'grey imports' may be added to the above mix next week.

GLASS BREAKAGE & LOCK DAMAGE

Shannons:- Once during a period of insurance, every glass panel is covered (fixed or moveable) without any need to pay "excess". Moulding is not covered if due to aging. Chips and cracks that do not extend through the entire thickness, or affect integrity, are not covered.

Locks, keys and barrels are not mentioned and are therefore unlikely to be covered.

See Terry here's where some of the information you are providing is incorrect.

* Shannon's will not cover sunroofs.

* Theft of keys and recoding is covered but of course limitations do apply.

I don't want to hack on this thread but I don't believe it's a good idea to be trying to provide this type of information if you don't work in this industry, especially if its incorrect.

Read the PS on Post #1 again!

It says that the Shannons 2006 PDS will be updated!!!

They talked to me today, and they will send out the latest PDS on Monday!!!

According to the 2006 PDS, what I've posted is correct.

You've never asked me about any experience that I've had in dealing with car insurance. In fact, you've never even PM'd me either!

I've written psycho-legal reports for victims of MVAs and sat in case conferences with both traffic lawyers and survivors. Terms of reference (including car insurance and CTP) were then furnished to me, to subsequently write reports.

There is a difference in working in the industry to dealing with them

So I've gone to 5 chemists i should list about medication advice? No.

Anyway, how you interpret a pds to how someone else does to how the company does are 3 different things and is best to leave it to the individual to ring the said company. In terms of wrong info you haven't asked me for correct info on Dawes and you have left if there, as you know I'm the manager there. I don't like to advertise that cause I get people pming me for quotes, cheap prices and advice etc.

Anyhoo, last I'll post in here and my last words of advice.

- ring each insurer for quotes. Shop around

- read their pds for exclusions, limitations. Conditions, features

-compare apples with apples

- don't be price driven

Contact insurance council of Australia for other insurers.

If you deal with an insurer, make sure they are part of the code of practice. More rules insurer deals with.

If you har a complaint, write to them first. Then if not satisfied go to higher management/IDR process. If

Not rectified ten financial ombudsman

What I'd do for this thread is link all pds and point out what pages all details are on so there is no chance of slight interpretation, make everyone read it themselves!

Cheers

Read?... Read?... Read?

Read is different from understand is it not?

Isn't the intention of an insurance company to furnish a PDS to be understood as well as read?

Surely, an insurance company would never ever draw up and distribute a PDS that couldn't be understood! Never!

So if one is to understand a PDS, how can he/she not compare one to another before making a decision?

I've spent hours joining the 'dots' and the PMs I've been getting tell me it's been well worth it.

VOILA!

    • I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.

    • lol no cats running str pipes … might put the high flow back on but I suspect it might effect my ignition timing a bit. 
    • That looks a bit like yellowing to me. If the rear bar was looking like that from rich idle, I'd ask the question, do you have a catalytic converter fitted, and fully working?
    • Oh yeah gets really bad down here. I’ll have to upgrade the heater and wind screen wipers as well for optimal performance.
