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

      He could just take the Bogan Cruise Ships setup... Already got a good setup, with blower, the auto was rebuilt too wasn't it? Perfect time for him to upgrade the tailshaft, diff, and axles...    And wouldn't need to waste money on redoing the Commos seats, as he could just buy race seats for the 5...   As a highly modded car he could avoid the ability to give it away to offspring too when they crash their cars...

      It's really interesting how much it's moving left to right, and doesn't appear to be actually spreading. For this to be moving left to right, without flaring, means unequal forces being applied until equilibrium hits in one way or another.   Reasons it could be unequal; Piston sizes left to right are different sizes. Only minute differences. Pistons moving on different planes. That is, are they moving directly straight at each other, or slightly out of alignment. The fluid is restricted getting to one side.   Some tests you could do. Pull the bleeders on the left and right, fit each side with pressure gauges. It will allow you to make sure pressure is equal (and really, it should be as fluid flow is so damn low, so fluid flow dynamics shouldn't come into it).   With the calipers off the car, have both sides retracted as far as possible, measure very very accurately (think micrometre) distances between opposing pistons in four different spots per set of pistons. Firstly, on each opposing pistons pair, the measures on for different spots should be equal. If it's not, and especially if one spot appears to actually get closer compared to another, the pistons aren't aligned, and now the forces left to right won't be equal, as they're the forces fighting each other.   You can also pull all the pistons out, and very very accurately measure the diameter of them. If they're not equal left to ight in the pairings, and especially if the area of the pistons on one side is different to the area on the other overall, it'll all be out of whack.   My bet, is shit QC in making sure the pistons move in the same plane left vs right. Some minor out of square machining, and nothing will line up, things will want to move around.

      Whilst putting a V8 in a MX5 would be fun, it would negate the whole cheap to run fun daily that the MX5 will be used for If I wanted a faster little convertible I would have got a engine check light, I mean a BMW Z4 M, but going off the issues that the guy at work who recently got one is having, it is lucky I didn't  Meh, horses for courses, the Bogan Cruise Ship is my go to for some horse torques
