haha didn't even realise, but was goin over the paperwork for the car, and I realised on the rego it said the car was a Nissan Maxima A31 :D hahaha

Now the good part is when I ring up to do the insurance for my dad, I'll go "yeah I need to insure a 1990 Nissan Maxima Sedan thanks". Sweet! I think the vehicle's VIN number sorta gives it away tho with the "6U900000" start.

What is your ceffy registered as...

Oh btw, just checked the numberplate CEF130 is available at VicRoads.

was at NRMA insurance and they had me as nissan cima. Because they had no other name for it on their options list.

I made NRMA add cefiro to their list of options. The chick had to ring up the IT department to get them to update their car list. I had to sit around for half hour while this was done.

Wouldn't it be their call? they put it in the system as that knowing it's not the car but the closest fit..

Billion $$$ insurance co. 'v' dude with smashed up ceff.

I know where my money is. Its the minions that put it in the computer, the little cubical people, not the people that give you the money. Stupid but if it came down to it, insurance would win.

Hmm, true - they would win.

Here me out though - In theory (In theory) the broker who sells you the policy has to get it underwritten, and the underwriters have to sign it off.

In that process everywhere the assumption is the information is correct - and your duty of disclosure is based on the notion of good faith - as such in "good faith" you've told them your car was a cefiro. You are NOT required to tell them things they are supposed to know in the normal course of their business, or things that lessen the risk to them. So you've told them it's a cefiro, they say it's classified as X.

Theoretically there are no schedules in the policy to say that if they decide to classify it as X, and it isn't they won't cover it (good faith applies both ways because they have duties of disclosure also).

But yes - I agree with you deveo I would have my money with you as we live in the realistic world and not the dream technical world.

P'raps you guys with misc classifications could get a schedule added to your policies to be sure?

I got my A31 officially green plated. Mine is a 90 model and didn't come in as 15 year old rule. I've had for about 3 years or so now.

On the compliance plate my car is called a Nissan Matthews A31. The guy who did the compliancing was Alan Matthews. Coincidence, I think not :D

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.

      After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
