Gday,

Just bought my first Skyline - R33 GTSt.

Been getting insurance and NRMA QLD have a campaign where they beat ANY other quote by 10%.

Just saved myself 10% off the cheapest I could find - Just Car.

Excess is a little higher but they did agreed value and matched up all else, bargain.

Just though i'd share.

I'd be double and triple checking the fineprint there chief... Nobody Rapes More Australians aren't exactly known for their cuddly nature...

Yeah, good point. I'll check the docs, they have a 21 day cool off anyway eh. Seems a good deal tho but then again if it seems to good...

if something happens are they going to turn their back and be all

"oh i didnt realise you had aftermarket _____ _______ ______ _______, your insurance is void"

exactly!

Or "Skylines are imported now?!"

They're completely useless at anything apart from taking money from people.

This is a great example of why you really need to check that fine print.

My excess was only $400 with justcar $600 with NRMA, would still prefer the difference in my pocket if I don't claim.

I listed the mods it has (exhaust, rims) and it got added into the agreed value - same as justcar. I'll call and dbl check everything tomorrow now though.

I've been with them for various cars but all non-imported/ std cars, are they really that much of a shocker to deal with that nobody on here insures with them?

wan't there something on the TV this year about their customers being ripped off by shonky repair jobs.. And a whole lot of customers confronted a PR chick about it and she had to stand there and cop it..

Just Car & Shannons are designed for Enthusiasts & Imports.. Sure they charge a premium but they aren't going to turn around and leave you high and dry in most cases (unless there was something seriously wrong) as bad mouthing from the customers would see the business sent elsewhere.. So I would rather pay the higher price and know that if I have an accident then I will have little worry about getting it fixed, rather than paying less then having an accident and then a battle ensues regarding the payout/repairs..

I think once NRMA are made aware that your Skyline is an import, they will back out of the deal. Or they will keep your money and say that you didn't disclose the true nature of your vehicle and they do not have to refund your premium...

Just confirmed - they know it's an import, all mods covered as long as they are within rego compliance. I'd say it's a v different story with more highly modded vehicles but for mine (as it is now) it's cheaper and does the job.

I've been with them before and they paid out when my car got keyed years ago no probs, choice of repairer... unless QLD version is run totally differently then it should be right.

I'll still review other insurers in a few months as things change and it might get cheaper, or if I get more questionable mods then yeah.

They have done numerous things over time that come back and bite them... all their customers then come ringing on my phone to annoy me..

Fight for everything you can get for refunds.... they can't keep it if it's something that they shouldn't have covered in the 1st place, there's always a way to get a refund if it's legit... unless we're just nicer at Allianz...

Hi btw way... I'm back ;-)

Incorrect. NRMA do insure grey imports but at almost triple the price of any other insurer.

Can't agree on that one.

I did insured mu Till tray with them , only i couldn't get HOOK insurance as I am not registered for GST , so I went to AMP.

I was with NRMA with my first turbo car a vl turbo and when the worst happened. I crashed the nrma inspector went and looked at the car and said because i had a frontmount

intercooler they wouldnt pay to the repairer so after weekes of waiting i went to see how my car was going and nothing had happened. Then the repairer informed me of the hold

up i rung NRMA to find them trying to back out of repairing it even when i had the paperwork at home with intercooler listed in the mods. In the end they fixed it but took more

then 2 months to get repaired. SO In the end they might be cheaper but you will get f**ked round by them. But Just Cars was great after a tool ran into the back of my 34 and

wouldnt answer his phone or call me back. They gave the green ligh to the repairer and even with a month wait for parts was fixed faster.

I was with NRMA when I brought my R-33 GTS-t I had it 8 months till some dirty bastard in an XF wagon rear ended me at a set of lights, I paid $7500 for my 33 and NRMA put $10,000 in my hand 3 days after the crash ( bent passenger chassis rail ) as that was current market value and I had it modded with the usual bits of kit Front mount, exhaust, etc

NRMA are not too bad but make sure your getting the best coverage you can for your ride. I am with Just Car for my R-32 as NRMA wanted to cover it for 5k instead of the 10.8k JC will cover it for.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      HUMVEE are fine in big open areas, but they are problematic on the street and tight areas As for reliability, some of the  US Army guys I have chatted with have said that when they were working they were fine, but, the do spend alot of time in workshops for multiple reasons, admittedly, they did get a hard time by the boys and girls who drove them I would definitely put them in the "buyer beware" category  They do look tough as nails though

      Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.
