I was 22? Or maybe just 23 when I signed the r up no issues.

Maybe driving records come into it, maybe where you live, maybe the bloke was having a good day ?

Hard to say, my guess is, they have tightened up their requirements since your time?

Maybe letting you slip through was the last straw :nyaanyaa:

I still have never been booked for anything... mainly due to living in a smallish town. ( closest police station is over 20 km away.. )

It looks like they have tightened the requirements up heaps in the last year. Possibly the under 25 only applies now?

I think the person I got was a tad cranky at the time.

I just called them for you, there is no age limit on the owner, 18 and over, must have a garage and all of the other stipulations they want you to abide by. If you track your car , there is no coverage if you prang at the track. Driving to and from, no problem.

I would think there would be a negative response if you have a bad record, you say you are OK so no probs , I would try again and if you get the bloke I just spoke to , you will be OK, he was very helpful

Hope this helps . :action-smiley-069:

punishment for buying a Cube?

The only punishment for buying a cube is having to have the windscreen wipers on constantly to remove all the panties getting thrown at it.

So are mods an issue with there policy?

Not from what the bloke said, I also mentioned that there are not many of these Skylines without mods and he understood that. I would think if you prang your car and you were charged with reckless driving or similar, your policy is Null/ dumped in the bin.

When I did my other mods last year, I phoned and told a bloke and when I got my new policy it did not mention them , I guess you have a policy of $65k and you write it off , it is still only going to cost them , $65k regardless of extra mods you put on since the policy was taken out, unless you want to have the agreed value increased ???

I guess at the end of the day, if you drive within the rules of the road there should be no problem, this is regardless of the power your car has. You can walk into a showroom and drive out with some pretty fast cars and with insurance and most of them have turbos or big V8s, all of which you can drive like a DH or not !.

Eh, im glad.

Premiums went from $2100 a year to $450.

Agreed value almost doubled.

What do they agree is the current replacement value of a very clean r32 GTR, for the premium of $450 Edited by mr skidz

I had a quote back in November for $480 premium with a $30k agreed value, $750 excess (plus the age excess on top since I'm 24, I think it's $300). Ended up bumping the agreed value up to $35k for an extra $50. So interpolating that, you'd think about the $26-27k mark maybe.

Has anyone tried to raise their agreed value on renewal? I lowballed myself when i first signed up to ensured i would get covered, and now attempting to increased the value and keep getting denied by the lady on the phone.

Any tips?

Interesting. What is it valued at now and what are you trying to raise it to?

I'm going to raise the value of my 32R soon too. (currently at 30-35k - will need to double check my paperwork)

I am still trying to work out if they actually care to much about the mods in a $ term.

Insurance is like gambling and they have the table and the house wins or no company left. Maybe they have their own pricing structure for each car, model, year and have limit for them ???

Well i spoke too soon. I had a bit of luck. I managed to speak to a different lady this time. I got the agreed value raised from 50k to 67k for an extra $100 on my premium. My premium last year was $707, with the higher agreed value it is now $814

I am happy with the outcome

I believe they do. Some of my agreed value increase was from the actually cost of the new wheels and tyres i put on the car.

They always seem to mention wheels in the mods, but I told them about motor, turbo, fuel upgrades etc and nothing on the policy?????

BUT I was not increasing the agreed value, this may have been the difference

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
