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.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
