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!

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!

      Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I just stack 2 pieces of 200x50 timber on top of each other. Total length about 900mm, with the top one being a little shorter and both having a 45° angle cut on them to make the front edge a bit of a ramp. Put these in front of each front wheel, drive up on them, throw the trolley jack under. Takes 1 minute. Scissor jacks can eat a bowl of dicks. I never use on under my car unless desperate.

      Well, yeah. But I just expect everything other than my car to feel like a bucket of shit anyway. I still miss my Alfa 116 so much though. You could run over a 20c piece and tell whether it was heads or tails.
