How do they know you only did 10 trips??? Seems like an open ended thing to me.

I could do one trip to Adelaide and clock up 5,000km, or you could do 20 trips to the shops and clock up 500km.

No idea how they know you've only made 10 trips, but that's what was explained to me before purchasing. I thought it best not to ask too many questions lol as i prefer that to the 9000 km rule. Doubt i will make 9000 km though :P

Same deal with going to the shops, your "not supposed" to but how would they know?

if it gets stolen from the shopping center it's pretty obvious

NRMAVVC even told me that its an AVERAGE of 10 times a month - so you could be doing over 10 times this month, and none in the next month. As long as it comes out as an average of 10/month.

I didn't ask how NRMAVVC keep track of it or get it proved. However, I was with Lumley Special Vehicle before and they are using the same policy and LSV said to me if you make a claim, they will then try track it down e.g. asking your neighbours etc. Very vague.

p.s. I've been trying to keep a good relationship with my neighbours :yes:

Will increasing the agreed value affect my premium/excess a whole lot?

My premium increased $50/year after bringing up agreed value from 75k to 80k. Worth.

Best to ask for a quote.

The latest PDS as some of you have already noticed states that a Classic Car like your GTR or GT has to be driven 10 or less times per month to qualify for insurance.

I went to NRMA this morning too, to get clarification of what the PDS means by "Drive Day". The PDS states that Classic Cars are not covered on "Track Days or Drive Days". I'm told that "Drive Days" include 'Cruises'. So just be warned that even if you tag along with a 'Cruise', nominally you are NOT actually participating if you want to remain insured with NRMA VVC on that day.

That is a tough one, you would be on the road as normal but with friends in other cars going to the same location, what difference is that to going for a drive ?

I wonder if there are more hidden restrictions that could pop up and bite your arse ???

Considering 90% of classic cars are driven for club cruises I'm going to get clarification on this. Strikes me as odd...

Not only that, people that would fall into the vintage insurance would do these cruises to show their cars off, that is what they do to show their cars off to other like minded people ?????????

Does NRMA Vintage allow salvage buy backs?

Good one, I had it written down to ask the exact question and forgot, Alzheimer kicking in, LOL

Just hope if iI did write it off, I am still around to buy it back :/

Edited by Nismo 3.2ish

Just gave NRMA VC a call and the woman says they changed their policy a couple of months ago and no longer consider skylines to be a collectible :-S ( I did mention I had a 94 R32 GTR to insure )

Anyone else been advised of this ?

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • 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?
