I recently got my renewal.  Price had doubled.  NRMA apologised and advised there is some communication coming but didn’t get out in time for the price changes... 

Ok they called back and have adjusted the price closer to what I was paying so I’m less concerned now

Last I heard from @GTR-N1 on facebook is that NRMA aren't taking any new policies currently as they're reviewing their policies. Is your car a V-Spec or Non V-Spec? 

 

Yes, no new policies.

One fellah told me yesterday that he was able to renew an existing policy, but get this, he wasn't able to get a new policy on another GT-R.

really disappointing. I would happily take the GTR into NRMA each year so they can personally verify the KMs and condition every year on renewal. The truth is i drive my car probably less than 30 times a year. Probably averaging about 12 times a year at this stage, i really only have it there for theft. It's a shame the system has been set up so people could abuse it, and some did, ruining it for the genuine ones.

What did I miss? How are people rorting the system? 

Intentionally writing cars off? 

Some things just never change. But basically they insure the car, after a couple of months they say it has been stolen (but really kept at a mates place). After the investigation is concluded they get a pay out and have a full car to strip and sell the parts etc.

So if they bought it even two years ago for say 70-80k, they could have insured them for 100k + parts, so the margin is there for them to do it. Sad but true I remember this happening with the 33gts-t's when everybody was importing them and they had them insured for a big amount.

Who has a shed for me to park my car lol

Yes I am kidding, don't PM you dodgy f**kers. 

You haven't been asked yet? Hahaha I've been asked quite a few times out of nowhere. But yea minority ruin it for the majority sadly

haha sadly nothing like that - this was a product of me going to some meets and a shop for a tune. Conversations start of like normal, whats done to it, plans etc nek minit hey do you want to make some money and give the above proposition lol

I just got my car revalued by both Famous and Shannons. 

Famous were happy to review the documents (theres almost 100) and my online presence for the car. They valued it at 70k with a $1500 annual fee.

Shannons would not re-value the car without a whole bunch of specific pictures and details, that I couldn't be bothered completing. I ended up taking the car to them so they could see the car in person. 
Once I was there it wasn't an issue and they immediately agreed to 80k value. They are much more expensive ($2800 per year) but I don't mind, i'm in it for the agreed value. Truth is I can't replicate the car and the modifications for 80k. But at a least that value would get me a clean one landed and in my driveway. 

All Shannons wanted from me was a few photos from each angle and a spec/mod list. 

Took 15mins to do. 

$2800 per year?! That's twice what I'm paying. 

What car is this for and how old are you? 

I'm lazy... and i'm 31.

It's for the R33 LM Limited that i bought a while back.  It was the one that nearly got stolen on day 1. So I still have to wait another full year before my 65% discount applies. :(

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
