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. :(

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
