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.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
