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.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
