Is there an equivalent "Classic, Vintage & Veterans" Insurance in other states better known as...

* SGIC in SA and...

* SGIO in WA ???

Good suggestion Tez , I gave SGIC a call and that insurance does not exist in S.A not sure about W.A , i did however tell Shannons i am driving my car less ,

so they reduced my insurance from $1200 to $ 930 / year for R34 GTR .

I didn't realise how expensive insurance is interstate , i thought S.A would be the worst as everything else - e.g. registration is one of the highest .

Well Dave Snape Mngr of NRMA Classic, Veteran and Vintage and I were discussing how he would like to come to a SAU.NSW Exec Meeting in the near future. I'm not an Exec anymore but perhaps the question needs to be asked about parity across SGIC and SGIO as well?

so what if you drive more then 9000kms a year ? do they cancel the policy or ?

Not sure, but I was never asked to provide ODO meter readings. There is no mention in the PDS about providing evidence of said KM's per year other than 9000km or less.

What one says over the phone interview is a contractual agreement - and it's recorded.

And each year's pink slip can be checked retrospectively through RMS yes as per previous post.

Power of negotiation can work wonders - especially if salespeople with clout can sense that your moolah might indeed, walk away.

Tez, have him look me up and call me at work. Prob can't fit it in tomorrow but since I work at IAG should be able to catch up with him.

Wow this will be very interesting to have a different perspective and added information :)

Dave Snape said this morning that he's already emailed the NSW Prez.

He says that interstate enquirers are welcome to call him directly on 0411011205 and still procure NRMA Classic, Veteran and Vintage coverage subject to the top 2 posts on this thread.

Evidently the junior staff on 1800646605 are on a steep learning curve but they are eager to please.

I called Shannons to see what they could do for me. They said lowest they can go is $1500. I told them i'm still saving $1000 a year and will be cancelling at the end of the month and going with NRMA.

Another loyal Shannons customer making the move. $800 saving compared to Shannons limited use policy, and increased value

Can't argue with that.

On a side note, haven't spoken to such a helpful customer service team in a very long time.

    • 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!
