Hey guys,

Since starting this thread a few years back, it's been a while since I have posted.

My details have changed alot. I now have a mint 1982 vh commodore with an rb25det in it. Fully engineered and on club, classic modified conditional rego.

My policy for this car comes in at a premium of only $263.68 for agreed value of $40,000. $300 excess.

I'm loving nrma vintage and classic.

Thanks

I am thinking the same thing, I need to up the agreed value, if anything happened I would be stuffed with the agreed value at $65k

My agreed value is at 70k. I called up and said I'd like to put it up to around 90k and the lady had no idea on the phone. She suggested I take a heap of photos and email them. Then someone will call me back to discuss.

I will take some pics and a list of Mods, the car is a 2017 in a 1999 body, lol

I will also go for $90k ish , feel a bit better if something bad happens :(

What agreed values are people getting for their R34 GTR's? I think it's time to increase my agreed value. 

NRMA VVC is asking for photographs, veracity of model & type now.

For GT-Rs, Justin seems to be the 'go to' guy.

Got a nasty shock in the mail today. renewal notice for the GTR arrived.

It has more than doubled per year (almost 3x), they still have not updated my address after i called them 3 times...

I have just called NRMA and they have stated that they are putting prices up, alas they have discovered how much cheaper they are and they are losing money on imports...

So prepare for a shock guys.

Wow they might just be silly enough to price themselves out of the market and lose it all 

If this is what is happening , maybe thats what they are trying to do ?

That would be a shame :(

This is how they (RACV in my experience) are with non-GTR imports so maybe a claim or 2 have made them reconsider their gameplan.

I received my renewal. 50% increase on last years. $975 up to $1,475. (BNR32, $80k agreed value, $500 excess). 

I gave them a call and they have increased prices on all grey imports. Especially GT-R's. Lets face it, they were very very good value and all good things must come to end. 

I bumped up my excess to $1k and the premium is now $1,100 and no extra to pay monthly. Still quite good value in my eyes. 

Only 2 more years or so for club rego and then should be able to reduce both costs a bit more right?!

Sadly for me there are a few criteria that I don't meet. 

Can't use your vehicle for an occasional commute to work or even drive to the shops :/ 

NRMA VVC wouldn't cover me
NRMA normal only would insure me for $12K
Shannons wanted 1800/year for 34K
Famous quoted me at 1000/year for 34K 

35yold with 1 claim in the last few years :/ (motorcycle accident)

I have stated this many times and have confirmed it MANY times with NRMA themselves. Can we sticky this at the start of the bloody thread?

The PDS actually states that "used as a primary mode of transport or used on a regular basis – for example, commuting daily to and from work"

Meaning as long as it isn't the primary mode, and not done on a regular basis you can do it. NRMA have themselves confirmed that it is more than OK to occasionally drive it to work and the shops, as they understand old cars need to be run. They said as long as it isn't done on a regular basis, and you have another car that you can sue it is fine.

Yeah my bad, I didn't read any of the details just called them straight away lol.

The girl I spoke to said I couldn't drive it to work or the shops at all, which seemed silly but I didn't press her on it. 
I mentioned that I would still have my bike but I wanted to do more of a 50:50split

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • 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.
    • 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
