When Comprehensive Insurance Can Commence On Your Import.

Insurance Companies - at least some of them - will insure your precious import comprehensively as it arrives in Australia.

Points to take note of are...

* Upon arriving in an Australian port, you can get your insurance company to cover the car for the usual things according to the PDS

* Since the car will take months to get through procedural matters, you may decide to insure the car at first, for fire and theft Vs full comprehensive

* You need to supply the VIN Number

* You do not need to have a Registration Number; nor would you have one (unless your plates are on order)

* You need to have proof of ownership from the agent and country that the car was exported from

* After compliancing and registration, you then need to update your insurance company with Modifications, Engine Number and Registration Number

* If your car is insured for fire and theft only, you may then upgrade to full comprehensive after registering it

Forewarned is forearmed.

If that stolen (off the docks) silver '94 R32 GTR has been already insured, a claim can be made first through the owner's insurance company and subsequently the company will claim against whoever they deem to be at fault.

Hi Terry, I think it was you that said if the car 15 years or older that NRMA has Vintage car insurance for a DD if you do not do over 90000Klms PA ?

A little off topic but cannot find the post

The stipulation Peter is 9000Kms (not 90,000Kms). The thread is in General Automotive where "walkoau" titled it, "NRMA Vintage Veteran and Classic Insurance". Enjoy the read!

I was scared the same thing could have happened to me when i imported the 34R. First thing i did even before the car landed on the docks was get insurance and have it in writing that it would be covered at the docks on arrival. All i had to do was provide the VIN, date of landing, show evidence with photos of the car, vessel name etc.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
