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.

    • Hi. This is just my curiosity because iam sure the tuner figure something out...but either way i want to ask. The "problem" is that the Nistune ECU (Stagea FW and RB25DET NEO from Stagea) sees many times the speed than the speedo does(he says the speedo show 120 km/h - correct speed and the ECU shows like 510km/h ) I told him that this car/tranny getting speed from rear diff. If iam not mistaken the RB25DET NEO "need" to see tranny speed sensor? (my tranny has the plug for it). So couple of "question" If he connects/wire the speed sensor to the tranny...are the signals gonna intervene and if...what if he disconnects the rear diff one and the speedo stops working? Or the "new" sensor from the tranny "take over" and will not going need the one from diff? As i said i know he figure/get that done...iam just curious to know what are the solutions 🙂 
    • Your IACV is set to idle too low. You need to adjust it via the screw Duncan mentioned. From memory it should be 650rpm with the valve electrics unplugged. What is it trying to idle at with the IACV plugged in?
    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
