Shannon's wanted $2700 for my taxi spec 250GT. Even though I have 60% NCB, over 30, clean history, and was with them for 6 years with my 200, etc... went to Just Cars instead. Also saved 1k by insuring the 200 with LSV

Just insured with Lumley Special Vehicles. Found them to be the best price and not as stringent at what Shannon's wanted.

Paying $1,150 for the 2006 V36 350GT SP.

Gave me the agreed value I wanted and didn't kick up a stink about it not being in a garage.

You could also try Dawes Underwriting agency. I have been told they do imports and exotics. Reason why I didn't go with them is that they wanted a proposal form filled out prior to offering me any price. It was much easier to call Lumley and do it over the phone without a hassle.

Good luck with insurance.

'I think Lumley wont accept any FI modded cars and accidents in the last 5 years?

Just rang around some insurance companies.. I WAS paying $1650 premium with NRMA with my mum as owner but it goes off the youngest driver anyway, I'm 21.

JustCar just quoted me $862 (lowest premium, highest excess) and $2200 excess.. Pretty stoked about that.. Got $1100 refund off NRMA also :)

Lumley is who i am now with, car $30,000 $980 or something, $500 excess. With turbo $1500ish, windscreen cover, rating one protection.

NRMA is a rip, i had 2 vehicles with them, they were not willing to price match anyone to keep my business, they didnt even ask the price match amount...

Just car was $1400 but value $20,900. LSV rock !

I just called Lumley Special vehicles - they do a discount for members of the Skylines Australia forums. :wub:

For 2003 350GT coupe - a value of $22k, $500 excess, I was quoted $616.

Windscreen + rating 1 were an extra $100 total.

Has anyone had to make a claim through them before?

NORMA are famous for bumping premiums and hoping you just pay up without noticing. Works with commercial entities more than private though.

Also, using the law of averages to extreme, the longer you go without an accident means one is coming sooner, so premiums creep up to entice you to shift your business for when you have to claim.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
