Yep as Peter said, you can choose to keep a log book for your peace of mind that's totally fine. I'm just saying NRMA are relying on their customers to be honest, otherwise they would be writing down all this stuff, or keeping their own log books on every one of their customers.

Ok, so I have decided to make the switch from LSV to NRMA VVC

Instead of the first quote of $75,000 agreed value and $1,080 Premium,

after listing all my mods, I have brought it up to $80,000 agreed value.

$1,130 Premium and $1,000 Excess.

Slightly cheaper than LSV but insured for alot more :smile:

Hi all, just renew-ed my policy so FYI:

NRMA VVC renewal letter came in with $972 premium and everything else e.g. agreed value and excess being the same as last year. Pretty delighted the premium actually went down!

However I gave them a call and increased the agreed value to $110,000, with $1,000 excess and $1,490 Premium.
Note:
1) With premium over $100k, the excess has to be $1k, no more or no less.
2) Apparently there's an endorsement from the underwriter - they will not insure a car over $100k value if the driver is under 30 years of age. The lady from NRMA VVC has waived this for me though.

Hope this helps!

Yeah, so devo. They said the change was made only a few days ago but i'm not sure how true that is...

Who were you with prior to NRMA?

Here in vic and currently with RACV, insurance is due and comes up to $1,650 for a 96 r33 vspec. Tried to get insurance with shannons last year but because it was my first year on full license they said come back next year. So renewal is up and Shannons basically matched the premium and set the agreed value at 30k. Gave RACV a ring to see if they could match the agreed value and they said nope max 25k for the 33 vspec, despite the fact agreed value for a  33 gtr non vspec can go up to 35k (did this by accident when i was checking agreed value limits online but clicked the wrong model).    

If your R33 is not your daily and is garaged, get VVC.

No under 25, if this person has only had their full licence for 12months.
Got told the same thing by RACV and lumleys. Shannons also knocked me back until I was 24 due to having driver training and cams licence (min was 25 at the time)

They didn't have any age restriction, i think Shannons didn't like that i was coming from a 2l subaru to a gtr, racv didn't even bat an eye lid. I do take it to work one or twice a week so vvc was out of the question for now. Think i'll just change to shannons for the higher agreed value.

Im not sure about age restrictions, but this will be my third year under vvc and im 22 with a 1990 r32 gtr. 

Renewal came in at $350, insured for $25,000

I decided to up the agreed value to $40,000 for $447 per year.

No questions even asked, they just wanted to confirm my mods list.

    • Mount some of these on your dash? https://www.greddy.com/products/16001720  
    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
