hmm just gave them a call, not sure the lady knew what she was looking.

my car is through NRMA atm and is insured for market value. she was having trouble accepting the fact i want to insure my car for 50-60k

when she asked me 100000 questions and then went to find the answer to see if i can insure it for the above price - she came back and said that there is no way it would ever been that high

and that the most they will be able to do it for is 20k

she also stated that market value for a 34GTR is only $13,000.

i think she is looing up the 34 gt-t but she didnt really know what i was talking about, i could tell she didnt know alot about it as i could hear someone in the background telling her what to say.

anyway has anybody had this problem when they rung up?

Call back and talk to someone else.

Lol- 13k for a 34R

They're not as polished as Shannons that's for sure.

The agents don't even have email so you can't send them modifications etc directly. Also they don't list the mods on the paperwork they send. I got their "admin lady" to email me with a statement saying that all my modifications as per my email to them are listed and covered. Then only did I cancel my insurance with Shannons.

well she is going to talk to her CLASSIC CARS Supervisor tomorrow when he gets in and she will clarify the information

when she asked my why i value the car so high, she asked me to rattle off some of the modifications. so when i started off with things like $3500 rays rims and $1800 nismo intercooler she was a bit stunned

and then she was like well they are nice to have things not actually modifications.... as in you have just bought new parts.... haha

My understanding is that their main criteria for insuring is if you drive < 9000km p/year.
You may have to inform/persuade them as to how you will manage that little km/year without a DD.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

They just said will you drive it under that. Didn't ask for an ODO reading or anything so goodluck to them proving that you have driven more than that.

In saying that i drive <5000 a year anyway.

That's good to hear anf, seems like a fairy straightforward process

I'm sure they will probably audit a couple of policies and look at RTA records to make sure people have driven less than 9k a year though.

but i cant say that for sure ...

Come 2015, it'll be interesting as to whether or not NRMA VVC will 'adjust' premiums noticeably or not - something that our learned friend eevil_weevil may have alluded to (besides how they treat claims).

Yes, I used LSV for a year and upon renewal, they expect your loyalty presuming you have a double digit IQ.

No wonder some people have learned to alternate every other year between two companies.

I almost had to make a claim.

One of my motorcycle stands feel from the rafters in my garage and hit the drivers side door, left 3 deep scratches and one dint.

Anyway lucky a friend has a smash repair business. And is only charging $300 to repair it. Same cost as excess. Lucky no claim means no higher premium for me next year.

I would be interested to hear from anyone making a claim with normal vintage.

I went with NRMA this year, thanks Terry :)

Car has to be at least 15 years old. Mine a 1999 R34GTR , only 20,000klm on the clock, good condition. They know I have another car as it is on their roadside repair policy, so I do have a DD to use.Under 9000klm PA, I got a $65,000 agreed value.

I Think it is impossible to get what our cars owe us in $$$$$$$$s spent but that is what it is. BUT a better agreed value than anyone else and a better price.

I found them very helpful and easy to deal with

I think you would struggle claiming if you have a track or hill climb accident . I also wonder if you did not have a 2nd car to use as a DD if they could cancel the policy.

You would have to be careful that you are within their policy conditions or it may not end up being a cheaper option ?

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
