I just filled in the form for an online quote for a gst-t and they replied by saying that cover for the gts-t is under review due to "lack of available parts" , and weren't allowed to give any quotes untila decision is made.

what a crock of shit

there's only one reason why its under review, and we all know lack of available parts is not the reason

they should at least come clean and say why they really don't want to insure them

damn media influce, irresponsible drivers, and theives -> least he's goin to jail:D

Give em a call or see them face to face, myself aswell as many others have RAC insurance. Thats one advantage of the net.... you can post stuff up like that and not have to worry about taking abuse from a potential client!!!

If still no then go to your local RAC and if they say the same kick up a bit of a stink....

At least this way you have tried and not just let it be.

I'm with RAC too and recently moved house, they said my new place has reduced my premium YAY! by a whopping $55 (from 2200/year to 2150/year) big hairy deal.

The problem is they sent me the papers confirming the new premium and it says "1992 NISSAN SYLINE GTR COUPE 6 CYLINDER, 2500cc" but I told 'em it was a '93 GTST.

Now I'm dreading calling 'em up to correct this incase they say "Oh, I'm sorry we don't insure GTSTs anymore". BASTARDS!

Do you think they'll refuse a claim (god forbid I need to make one) if the policy states an R32 GTR when I actually have an R33 GTST?

Calling them to get a positive result on the insurance probably wont help. I am insured with them, and when I rang with a general question about my policy they told me that when my policy comes up for renewal - they wont run with it anymore - too expensive they said.:confused: Time to start looking elsewhere

100 percent correct there dude! I think a lot of us Gtst owners were insured as 32 GTR's, so quite a few of us had to change with no hassles. better off changing coz they do ANYTHING to get out of paying you if something goes wrong!!

If you wanna see em pack there dacks do what i did!

Me "Hi I'm interested in insuring a GTR/Supra here is my client number......."

RAC "Oh yes Daniel i have your details here, is that supra you want to buy a turbo or non turbo?"

Me: "Supra will be twin turbo "

RAC: "We don't insure twin turbo's we have a strict policy BLAH BLAH BLAH"

Me: " THEN WHY HAVE YOU INSURED ME AS A GTR TWIN TURBO!"

RAC " Oh Ummm AAhhh Yes Sir, it seems there was an operator error when putting it in, I will correct it for you straight away sir"

Me "Hmmm strict policy?"

RAC "terribly sorry our apologies"

ehehe always good for a laugh!

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
