Ahh, rare model and theft history, unlucky!

 

 

Well, i still think i'm lucky just to have it. :)
I just love looking at it in my yard. I still can't believe this car from Gran Turismo is here with me in the metal. 

Latest word is that the Portfolio Manager's directive is this...
* Nissans and Datsuns prior to 1989 can be covered
* ADM GT-Rs (with proof supplied) can be covered
* JDM GT-Rs from 1989 onwards will not be covered - with no mention of renewals being continued or culled.
 

Sorry guys, but a few bad apples have spoilt the good ones.

I received my renewal in the mail for my R32 GTR. I was actually a bit nervous considering what you guys said about the increases, but I opened it up and it had barely increased from last year. Still <$600 for the full year and $45k agreed value. Now I'm unsure whether or not to try and increase the value and open their eyes to a possible non-increase/mistake from their side of things or just pay it and be done with it for another year.

Yes, if you are happy with $45k I'd just pay it and move on. You won't get an increase in the premium.

If that's what you want then speak to one of the other insurers but be prepared to pay a heap more.

Is this happening at a certain date or just when our current policies run out?

I think our excitement at getting insurance at a reasonable price and talking about it was our undoing :unhappy:

unfortunately this community still has a bunch of shitflamin mongrels that will ruin it for all of us. As the values go up, the shitflamin mongrel % goes down.

^ Disagree, you just attract a different breed of flamin mongrel. 

Actually, most of the bigger assholes I know have money behind them. 

Drug money you mean ?

No, just well off, they may have worked hard for it, they may have had it handed to them, but money does have a tendency of bringing out the asshole in some people.

If I know people who have drug money, I'm not aware of it, I don't tend to run in those circles like Milan ;)

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
