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.

    • Lets keep this going , Spotted this very stock V35 in Penrith and also saw a nice R32 FLY past me on Castlereagh rd , sounded really good.
    • Great work! Give it a clean up with some Emery paper, and I'd run a thread die over the threads too to clean them up. It will make reinstall much easier, and also life easier for the next time it needs to come out.
    • I'm not a fan of high humidity, it's one reason I don't mind being further inland out Ipswich, except the last 3 odd years, the drought broke, and it won't stop raining, which is making the humidity nearly unbearable when the rains are in during summer! For me, my body hates the cold, once the cold sets into my body, I'm totally screwed. I end up with severe muscle spasm in my back/shoulder muscles, and it feels like someone is trying to tear the muscles out. I have no issues with it getting stupid hot, so long as the humidity goes away. So the last 3 years as above, have been woeful! Ha ha. However, June 1st, and I'm only just converting from shorts and a tee, to long pants and a t shirt. And that's mainly as it's a bit wet and miserable and I wanted to work on a car.
    • I much prefer colder weather to hot weather, and especially prefer cold to hot and humid, Goulburn does gets pretty warm in the hotter months, but, I've found the humidity there is not as painful as even Sydney, the humidity up north is to oppressing for this old rooster  In saying this, it does get rather "nippy" in Goulburn for early morning, late in the evening walks, but nothing that a layer or two, some thermal gloves, and a beanie doesn't fix to make it an enjoyable experience, which is much more bearable to me than the oppression of heat and humidity,  especially at night when your trying to sleep If I recall correctly, a "wise man" once said that the "Southern Tablelands" was gods country, and I will not argue that point with him for the fear of a "permaban" LOL In car part related news: My intake is currently in Botany getting processed for the last leg of its shipping journey to my door   
    • Had a go at the stuck crush tube this afternoon. Tried things like grips and a chain wrench first but wouldn't just twist straight off. So got to work with a drill. Started small and kept a depth stop on to make sure I didn't drill into the bolt. Made a line of drill holes all the way up and enlarged them. Then a combination of chisel and Dremel to split it all the way up. Levered the split to get oil in there and eventually it gave a bit while levering. Worked it back and forth with loads more oil till it was spinning freely, then with grips I could work it downwards and off. And no significant damage to the bolt (not by me anyway - just the 27 years of rust)
