Hi everyone. Just thought I would share my experience with you all. I recently insured my r34 gtr v-spec with Shannons at a premium of $2250 ($500 excess). I was told by a guy at work about nrma vi

Finally received my renewal notice, just a casual 20% increase. Pretending i knew nothing I called them up to get an explanation as to why this was so, they told me what i already knew (from this thread). Apparently they don't consider skylines to be classic anymore, Unfortunately there was no negotiating to be done, pretty average..........:down:

Only ever had TPP 'bomb' insurance.........was with Just Cars but now with AAMI [Just Cars got absorbed by aami].

Very recently had somebody hit me in the side of the car in a car park - I was parked at the time [engine off, door open, about to get out].  They admitted fault and have made a claim on my behalf because AAMI TPP insurance doesn't cover helping you to make a claim, only in claims against you.  So now I am at the mercy of the other persons insurance company and waiting for them to approve so I can get it repaired.  I feel vulnerable....little me up against a big insurer.  I think I will be ok, but it makes you stop and think, if they stalled or said NO then it would take a lot of Dept of Fair Trading or other such assistance and many years to get there.

My RACV vintage insurance renewal came through...I thought they were cancelling these policies? Or just not taking on new customers? Like others in here, premium gone up from under $300 to $350ish...but that's still full comp on a 33R for 30k agreed with no engine in it...so I'm not questioning it...

If I can sort out club rego then it will be a very reasonable second vehicle.

RACQ vintage in QLD would only accept the skyline for an agreed value of $10,000 maximum. You could hear me laughing all the way at the head office and I couldn't have hung up quicker.

Shannon's full comp limited driving policy (less than 2 days a week driven but unlimited kms) was around 600 bucks a year and they tripled the agreed value and will cover all mods. And that's with a recent claim so no claim bonus wasn't available to me.

Hey guys, I just rang NRMA Classic and Vintage Car Insurance on 1800 646 605 - being RACV here in Victoria and was advised that they no longer take on Nissan Skylines and do not deem them as Classics or Vintage cars. The chap I spoke to said the rule change happened about 6 months ago!

So he offered to transfer me to the usual NRMA Insurance line for a quotation and it came out to $1,850. AAAARHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Any tips?

Cheers,

Alex

I just went through the same thing a few days ago with RACV no longer insuring GTR's. 

Got a quote done through shannons for around $1600 per annum, limited use, $53000 agreed value. Got the same through enthusiasts insurance for around @1200 although use was 8000km per year. Found them to be much better then shannons.

Yes, another existing customer here with several policies. Insured value the same, premium went from $300 pa to $420pa, which percentage wise is quite a hike.

My car would probably be near the bottom of the food chain being an RPS13, but the overall the cost is much cheaper than the alternative and I've always received good service from NRMA-provided I'm not at fault, so I'll stick with them for now.

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!

Ive been with them for 4 or 5 yrs and 2 ctp. Never had any claims nor have my license cancelled or whatever.

Garaged and don't drive often.

2018 everything was the same and premium increased almost 15%

This year 2019 renewal just came in... everything is still the same, completely no change. But premium went up another 20%... I personally think its pretty ridiculous...

I am similar, haven't even had a speeding ticket for a long long time, garaged, country town and in a safe area and this year it is up 16%

Methinks they will keep doing this until they drive us elsewhere ?????

They do not seem to understand that these cars are not just being trashed by boy racers (they can't afford them)and the prices are going through the roof

when I first got the car I could have insured a new $150,000 GTR about the same price a $45,000 R34GTR through other companies:/

      Manual Shifter slightly bounces/moves/vibrates when accelerating/deaccelerating

      By Duncan · Posted

      Congratulations on your find  Did you mean it has 6k miles or was that a typo? Firstly, keep in mind some movement of the shifter is normal...it is a long rod hanging out of a box bolted to the engine. Having said that there are 2 next places to look: 1. Transmission and engine mounts. If these are worn or broken the shifter will move around more. They are reasonably easy to source and replace on a hoist, and possible but uncomfortable to replace car stands 2. On the bottom of the shifter there is a nylon cup that sits over shifter's ball end. If this is worn or broken the shifter will move around more than it should (but will still shift OK). That is a cheap part and requires removal of centre console, rubber shifter hole covers and a circlip in the gearbox shifter hole to remove the shifter. Re maintenance, as with any new import you should change all the fluids including transmission when you get it; never trust the seller and previous owners to have done the right thing. I am pretty sure R34 GTT is the same as earlier big box transmissions, so use any good quality GL4 75w90 trans fluid if it is shifting well (if it is hard to shift due to synchro wear, redline shockproof lightweight will keep it alive a bit longer before rebuild is required)

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      Well considering I have the exact same problem with that as the original one I don't think that the ignitor is the problem. I would imagine that this being such an uncommon problem the possibility of getting a new ignitor that is bad in the same way as the old one has to be very slim. I'll definitely pull everything apart this weekend and check the turbo out. Got quite a bit of things to check out Saturday like fuel pressure and the pcv so I'll report back once I do that.  Thanks everyone for all the replies this is all really helpful

      Rb's have issues with bottom end starvation, not head starvation. Which either way, you probably wouldn't ever see on a dyno. Strange... What's pump gas for you? Octane rating?
