Hi everyone.

Just thought I would share my experience with you all.

I recently insured my r34 gtr v-spec with Shannons at a premium of $2250 ($500 excess). I was told by a guy at work about nrma vintage. Catch is you have to only do no more then 9000kms per year and your car 15 years or over and obviously a clear driving history for the last 2 years. All no problem for me.

Anyway nrma premium came in at only $975.55 (300 excess.). A saving of more then $1200. And agreed value was no problem.

1800646605 is the direct number to NRMA's Classic, Vintage and Veteran.
Good post above!
Big savings can be had if...
* your car is at least 15 yrs old
* it's not your daily
* well secured
* travels less than 9000km/yr
* high sum insured may need to be supported with pics

The direct number above is advised over the usual NRMA Insurance arm (number).

Changed from Shannon's to NRMA today.

Half the price of Shannon's !!!!!!!!!! only catch is you can't pay monthly, has to be an up front annual payment.

And YES, mods are allowed in the policy no problem whatsoever.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Just called NRMA

Quote came back @ $509

Shannons charge me $2200 a year

that is literally laughable

What model? Insured value? Age?

That's a bargain. I thought I was doing good at $975 compaired from Shannons $2200.

I'd say Shannon's arguing to lose a fair chunk of clients once word gets out.

It there own fault for being greedy. A little competition is good for us.

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
