I'm not sure about your age as a restriction but...

NRMA Vintage Veteran and Classic will insure all cars over 15yrs old so long as they're not driven over 9,000Kms/yr and are secured properly.

Premiums are much cheaper than Just Car, Shannon's, NRMA (regular) or Dawes.

Now the message has gone interstate to include SGIC and SGIO Vintage, Veteran and Classic.

If you want your parent/s to own the car nominally, you must be a nominated driver on the policy.

Thats interesting about the vintage car over 15 years old, so next year I will be able to insure it. Being modified makes no difference??

At 72 I guess I will not need a parent to own the car,haha

Yes Peter, NRMA reduced recently the car's age threshhold from 20 yrs old down to 15.

Modifications make virtually no difference to the premium paid; but should be stated, so that replaced parts should conform to what has been listed.

After you get your quote, give us feedback (especially in General Automotive section)!

Nice surprise in store for you I think.

More than likely if your licence class restricts you from driving a high performance car, this would give an insurance company ammunition to refute your claim if you were caught driving.

You would have to say someone else drove it in an accident, which then would be hard to pull off in a given scenario.

In saying this, most would cover you under your parents name. If something happens, they drove it.

All above advice, I wouldn't advise to do. It'll bite you back someway.

Insurance is based on the youngest driver. So even if the car is under your parents name and you are listed on the list of drivers, than it is calculated for the youngest driver. Best bet is to call up insurance company's. Shannons and Just Car were the 2 that I had to go through when I was 21. Good luck with it all.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
