I still don't know why people think chucking on Nardi steering wheel will make it the hottest shit in the galaxy. I effing hate nardi wheels, it looks shit on all modern cars. It barely looks ok on drift cars. The only cars it looks dead hot on are the old Z or the old school GTR with their old style interior.

Shame, shame shame.

Nardi wheels are hot. I wouldn't put one in MY 35 GTR but i'd definitely have one an older car I had in my garage.

I would have thought this would have sparked more discussion on the pro's versus cons of moving the paddles WITH the wheel or leaving them as std and fixed to the column.

My vote goes to keep them fixed to the column as per std (they're always where you expect them to be in that case), although the carbon is rather porn.

IMO the paddles should move with the wheel so they are dead square with your hands on hard cornering. I've never driven a car with flappy paddles but the ones on the factory GTR work totally fine from the looks of it in the recent Fifth Gear review.

They're big so even when you're cornering they aren't hard to reach. So i'd say stick with factory because it works!

BUT it mightn't be the same on other cars. I saw another review of some Euro car (bloody forgot), and the reviewer was turning hard, wanted to change up and needed to actually move his hand from the wheel to reach the paddle. That's annoying and dangerous :cheers:

      Import insurance in 2025

      By MBS206 · Posted

      My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.

      A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call

      I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛

      Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).
