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.

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
