May have to write a nice letter to Office of Fair Trading as a $660 increase is hideous!

Do it, online quote listed as 1562.00 so guess what.... They can stick that up their a$$.

Will call tomorrow to confirm, but lumleys sounds like the go!

OP is from Melbourne, and i dont think NRMA insure VIC.

My friend has his 34 GTR insured for 50k with just cars. 1yr ago $1500pa, this year they tried to raise to $1900pa, but he got them to agree to $1600 p/a . I was so shocked when they quoted $2k p/a for $13000 agreed value on my stagea.

Hey all, got a bit of info off just cars... Basically Due to weather issues around aus over the last year re- insurance has gone up ( insurance providers for insurance companies) looks around 35- 50 percent.

Just cars, aami all owned by suncorp which took a big hit in the floods etc

Gonna get quotes of lumley spec vehicles anyone else gone with them?

Currently I have Shannon's at $1550 for agreed value $28k, hasn't changed in years.

Lumleys price was for $18k value which is about right, might have to switch as its a massive saving

What are they like with listing modifications?

Only mod is sway bars, $28k agreed value was a quote 4 years ago that never changed just kept sending out renewal, its a tough decision, do I save money now or make some if it's written off. .

will probably save money now. . still undecided. .

WTF, is this for real, this old thread . What type of insurance cover would that have been for, or is that mate's rates.

The best Lumley's could do for me was this, Feb 2017

Autech 350s 6 sp

Original quote $ 2, 786. 00,

Amended quote, $ 2, 349. 20 (after a firm get the flying fu#k away from me). There was no third offer. Lol !!

Comprehensive cover,

Value $20,000, (I wanted replacement or $ 30,000 + )

$1000 excess,

No salvage rights.

That would mean in affect that if I had this cover at the quote I was given by Lumley's, first off I'd be feeling pretty riptoff n broke,

Secondly after just 5 YEARS they would have charged well over the odds in my view and well over half the purchase price of my staggie in the first place. Doesn't seem quite right to me. The ex recons I'm a tight arse,

Rego, green slip and insurance due in six weeks can anyone point me in a better direction than this over blown rip.

NRMA are about $900'ish recently, Shannons similar amount, but thats rating 1, over 40 north shore.

Cheers paramour, I think we both noticed the nth shore part of that picture. I live in merrylands (car is garaged) which has been a very high crime area in the past, ( mostly bikie related, ie ice dealing and shootings ) ,so perhaps that would account for Lumley's outrageous quote. Yeah right!!! So we will try some of the others here in the next few days , see if the merrylands factor comes into play with them. Cheers mate ,

      And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.

      Nismo rear spats

      No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

      Rb26/30 build

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.

      Rb26/30 build

      2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.

      I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.
