Thats interesting Peter, let us know how you go with nrma, but at this stage I'm only looking to get 3rd party, I also have a dash cam so if I'm not at fault, I have proper proof on a camera (no hassles in small claims court) or if I'm at fault, then 3rd party covers the other person, and I'm stuck with damage to my car.

My 180sx was rear ended, written off, I was offer 9k from aami, had a private accessor check out my car, aami then offered 21k the accessor took 4k.

I got all my money back, every cent. paid 8k for the car, and had receipts for work done and parts purchased.

Hi Daniel

I thought the bloke said it was $468 or something like that, missed the $1000 part :)

Well I got the info, I think it was one of those old sayings, if it seems too good to be true , it is too good to be true,

The Premium is $1,416 , that was with a 15% discount for maximum no claim bonus BUT it was for $65,000 against Justcars $1900 for $45,000.

So it is still a great price and apart from a Klm restriction of 9000Klms PA it is similar to a normal policy.

I asked them about buying the car back if written off as there was nothing in the info I received, the bloke said this info is the same as there general insurance policy and you can buy it back and he would send me a copy to read , so I will wait until I read it before I take his word..

I think we all know that most of the money you spend on modifying your car is wasted if you have to or want to sell it ( I did not know this before I bought my car) I still would have bought a Skyline BUT I would have driven a couple of moded cars closer to what I wanted from the car first, not buy the first one I saw,haha

So, I got insurance closer to a realistic price the car is worth ( nowhere near what I spent) but better than just the cars original price. I paid $45,000 for the car, it had $50,000 spent on it before I bought it..

Hi Brett

I call my R a DD as I do not track it in any way, it IS a recreational ride, it does meet their criteria :)

My Tiida is my true DD as I use it for shopping, driving the kids around and all of the other crap you have to do with your car in the normal course of the day. I am not going to be loading crap into my toy :( .

This is what they say, it was changed from 20 year old to 15 years old "Classic vehicles, which are 15 years of age or more, and "recognized by us" as a collectable vehicle that are used for hobby or recreational purposes" "You can also drive it MORE than 9000Klms PA / use it for a business purpose or Hire "as long as you tell them in writing beforehand and they "agree to cover you"..

My R is my "recreational vehicle " = fun , pleasure,enjoyment, amusement , I can use it 7 days a week at times and sometimes not at all, no chance of doing 9000Klms PA so all good.

    • That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.
    • They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!
    • I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.
    • Define "starting to fail". Wy not just rebuild them?
    • Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
