Last I heard Lumleys wouldn't touch the M35, not special enough or something.

I am insured with Shannons, around 1k and no lockup living quarters. Out in the rain with no farks given. They were fine with it.

My last one was insured by Lumleys. End of the day these guys just pick and choose which customers they want - same with Shannons.

Mines currently insured through Lumleys. Haven't had to speak to them, touch wood.

Everyone will be different, not much point in comparing premiums from what I've heard from people in the industry (who are active here on SAU, too).

Age of car, condition of the car, features and mods, location, driving history and driver's age, and usage all play factors in quoting premiums, so no two situations will ever be quite the same...

I used to have my R33 insured with Lumley Special Vehicles, when I got my R34 and just wanted to change it over they said that they have to close off my current policy and open a new policy.. BUT as it's a NEW policy on a SPORTS car, they cannot insure me anymore as they ONLY INSURE CLASSIC CARS NOW, sooo basically told me to go f*** myself!! It didn't make sense as they were insuring my R33, but their response was that they will continue to honor all OLDER policies until such time they are closed. Tried speaking to the CEO and basically muttered the same shite, so told them the go jump!! I did have insurance with AI for a while http://www.aiinsurance.com.au/ who weren't too bad. I'm with Shannon's now and it's up around the 1k mark Rating 1

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
