RAC are stupid

[skyzerr33]

no idea when i rang they said yup we have sorted it and gave me the details saying the correct car. then said its will be $600 and said what thats 100 more than what my bill said.then she yes but the 608 is for the whole year. they its cheaper now cause u have turned 25 since your last renewal and your ncb has gone up.

so if you've turned 25 since your last bill before you pay the next one ring them and make sure its in there system that your 25.

ive had the same rac trouble, my 96 r33 has morphed into a 92 r32 gtr. ive called and am waiting for my letter. wonder what the premium would be on one of the new ford xr6 turbos, thos things are going to push masive kw on the after market.

When I transfered my insurance from my old bomb to my 1994 r33 gts25t with RAC I was 24 and had a 55% NCB. When I re-new it in march next year I'll be 25 and should have a 60% NCB, so I'm hoping its nice and cheap. The only thing I hate is that there is no market value so you have to put a value you want, plus adding any additional mods to the insurance list is a pain as they dont like it. Anyway, it cost me like $900 for a year as a 24 year old with 55% NCB. I'm glad I waited till I was older before I got a performance car, screw paying $3000/year just because i'm only 19 or something. I dont think people that young should have performance cars anyway, too much power for someone with a small amount of experience, unless they have a CAMS license

I just renewed with RAC and they wanted to know if i wanted to insure my stereo I asked how much to insure and she said well standard you get $750 worth of insurance on your stereo so any more $$$ than that it might pay you to insure....:eek:

I was never told that we get $750 of free insurance on the car stereo when i made me annual payment until now!

Have you guys been told that aswell? where you aware of that? i certainly wasn't they kept it pretty quiet from me! hmm maybe i should have checked my policy harder but i would have remembered sumfin like that though!

Okay this is the go as it was explained to me many a time.

The R32 GTR was released locally. Hence it's insurance is cheaper than the GTS. Why ? Cos at the time you couldn't get parts locally from Nissan for it.

Now that Nissan do carry R33 parts I think things are a changing.

The people on the phone generally don't know the difference beteewn a Hyundai Excel and a R33. All they see is that it is not listed on the computer and tell you to nicely rack off.

I have also been explianed why it is extremely difficult to get non bank finace on an import but that could get me into trouble for telling... Oh and I found this info out through the RAC and GE Auto and Fleet 'cos we did the outsourcing IT work for them and I asked some managers.

I'm having problems getting insurance for my R31 if it had a RB20det in it.GIO,HBF,Weatern QBE,Fai Allianz,RAC and SGIO have all said no coz i'm 19:shake: .I'm thinking about 3rd party coz it's cream to start with and she's not to hot what yous reckon.

[GOT BOOST]

i shopped around all the companies too

all my other sh#t is with HBF they told me NO at first

but i said i'd take my business elswhere a few calls later they came to the party. they told me mine changed the way they looked at these cars and it came in at $836..@ $15000

R31 POWER:

i'm only 20 and have a hr31 gts with a 32 rb20

rac cover me for $1540 per year, which i think is reasonable.

i rang everyone in the yellow pages, even brokers, and rac were the only ppl to give me a quote.

that premium is with 30% ncb and alarm discount.

originally it was $2445.

I have just been on the phone with the RAC and they not only dont want to insure any more jap imports they are going to send a letter to each policy holder at the end of the term to explain how they thankyou for you business but we are no longer can supply insurunce for your vehicle.

They say that they are looking into the feasability of going through each car one buy one and checking on the availability of part. But they are starting with the non turbo silvia then non turbo skyline but they dont invisage looking to their turbo charged brothers. Shit news hey! So you guys with RAC insurance dont leave it too late and find out that you only have a few weeks insurance left.

Hope that some car importers can get together and provide a good base of spares or i feel other insurers will follow suit and will put the life of the beloved Skyline at risk.
