Is there an equivalent "Classic, Vintage & Veterans" Insurance in other states better known as...

* SGIC in SA and...

* SGIO in WA ???

Good suggestion Tez , I gave SGIC a call and that insurance does not exist in S.A not sure about W.A , i did however tell Shannons i am driving my car less ,

so they reduced my insurance from $1200 to $ 930 / year for R34 GTR .

I didn't realise how expensive insurance is interstate , i thought S.A would be the worst as everything else - e.g. registration is one of the highest .

Well Dave Snape Mngr of NRMA Classic, Veteran and Vintage and I were discussing how he would like to come to a SAU.NSW Exec Meeting in the near future. I'm not an Exec anymore but perhaps the question needs to be asked about parity across SGIC and SGIO as well?

so what if you drive more then 9000kms a year ? do they cancel the policy or ?

Not sure, but I was never asked to provide ODO meter readings. There is no mention in the PDS about providing evidence of said KM's per year other than 9000km or less.

What one says over the phone interview is a contractual agreement - and it's recorded.

And each year's pink slip can be checked retrospectively through RMS yes as per previous post.

Power of negotiation can work wonders - especially if salespeople with clout can sense that your moolah might indeed, walk away.

Tez, have him look me up and call me at work. Prob can't fit it in tomorrow but since I work at IAG should be able to catch up with him.

Wow this will be very interesting to have a different perspective and added information :)

Dave Snape said this morning that he's already emailed the NSW Prez.

He says that interstate enquirers are welcome to call him directly on 0411011205 and still procure NRMA Classic, Veteran and Vintage coverage subject to the top 2 posts on this thread.

Evidently the junior staff on 1800646605 are on a steep learning curve but they are eager to please.

I called Shannons to see what they could do for me. They said lowest they can go is $1500. I told them i'm still saving $1000 a year and will be cancelling at the end of the month and going with NRMA.

Another loyal Shannons customer making the move. $800 saving compared to Shannons limited use policy, and increased value

Can't argue with that.

On a side note, haven't spoken to such a helpful customer service team in a very long time.

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
