The RACV calls it : Veteran, Vintage & Classic Car Insurance here is the link: http://www.racv.com.au/wps/wcm/connect/racv/Internet/Primary/insurance/car+insurance/veteran,+vintage+_+classic

The guy i spoke to said it's exactly the same as the NRMA policy

Thank-you for doing my homework!

:thumbsup:

haha

that'll be a no go for sure.

go see a broker to get you a quote from breeze underwriting...it'll cost you a f**kload though.

and before anyone says shannons will cover you on the track. they wont. only if you have a historic car and you have racing extention applied. they wont sell racing extention to people with skylines...!!!!!

Wow. Just called up and was a bit skeptical as I don't have a GTR but they insured my R32 GTST with some of the modifications we have receipts for.

Currently - Shannons - $2200 p.A

NRMA - $571 P.A comprehensive, insured for more.

I do have my green slip with Shannons, did some one mention that might be problematic when switching comprehensive provider?

Pretty chuffed about this really, hated paying thousands when the car just sat in the garage most of the time... AND this put me in a better discount bracket for having multiple policies with NRMA.

Green slip (CTP) has nothing to do with your comprehensive insurance, CTP is for rego so it won't be affected if you switch (it's prepaid essentially). Companies can give you discounted prices if you have both with them though.

Aww. It does say in the terms racing will void unless agreed upon :P

did some ringing around this week with insurance companies mentioned in this thread and this "classic" car insurance (as opposed to shannons) seems a bit more restrictive.

Shannons will do exceptions for under 25, while none of those companies will.

I got declined from a few of them for receiving 3 minor speeding fines in a 2 year period.

RACV classic didnt want to insure unusual/rare cars under 15 years old.

Im not surprised but it shows how much more flexible shannons can be. probably with modifications too.

Your right with everything except the modifications.

Spot on, you have to be a good boy and clean driving record for the last few years. And obviously only car OVER 15 years.

You can list any mods as far as I'm aware.

But if they have to refuse people because of the above mentioned problems, it's OK with me. I'll be a good boy to keep my premium low.

If I'm stupid and do something wrong I will accept the consequences and pay a higher premium with Shannons for example.

When changing companies , Shannons told me they have the similar insurance - Vintage and Classic

but all cars had be 35 Years old to get a similar premium / price .

Hopefully premiums don't rise unrealistically with NRMA

Yes...

What's also made the NRMA package so popular in recent times is the fact that the company has reduced the age-of-car threshhold from 20 yrs to 15; as one can see in the PDS Supplement.

Due to the fact that many people here on SAU have switched from a company of long standing, most will be watchful when it comes time to renew - I agree.

100% confirmed,

22 years old, $570 a year, $500 excess, insured for $30k.

I'm a very happy customer at the moment. The lady i spoke to on the phone mentioned they had a high proportion of skylines coming across to them from other insurers. Funny that..

I'm saving a whopping $1700 a year on insurance, and it's insured for more moneys.

It will be interesting to see what shannons/Justjap do with their pricing in the next little while.

so your 22 and you were able to insure with them ?

im 23 , no lock up garage , no daily driver atm would i be able to insure with them ?

Correct Terry , i noticed the 20 year threshold in the supplement as well , i almost wanted to ring them and get confirmation ...........

So I made the switch a couple of days ago and when going through the details, I specifically mentioned that the car was mildly modded, between both myself and the previous owner. I asked if the I should send through a list of the mods or go through them over the phone (as previously done with Just Car), and the lady said 'no, we don't list mods on our policy', just insure the car for the agreed value.' She also said just keep the receipts for aftermarket parts in case of an accident.

My question to the converted - did you actually list your mods on your policy or get a similar response to me?

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
