Well, how is this lads.

My cousin rang up late last week and got a quote to insure a 180sx. We purchased the car on the weekend and are picking it up tonight. He rang RAC this arvo and they said that the quote is now void because they are not insuring any new business who drive imports...existing customers are ok however.

This is for a guy who is 32 with 50% NCB!!! He managed to get a covernote through Wesfarmers (who he works for) anyway, and is calling Riaz I think because he fits into their +30 yr old age bracket.

Bastards...

when looking for insurance i had a few quotes and although RAC was high i nearly went with them, but i didn't, which was lucky because now they won't.

anyhow, i went with 'famous classic car insurance' as a last resort (as i had the car and was test driving :D and they turned out nearly $110 cheaper than RAC.

- $704 pa with 60% no claim :D) $450 under 25 excess and $250 minumum whatever... so give them a try?

looks like their site is being upgraded.

carry on!

After skyzerr33 started this thread I was getting worried that I would not get any insurance, but I rang yesterday to confirm my quote with RAC, the person on the other end of the phone brought up the quote with no worries, and I justed ask how long is it valid for etc, the point being I was waiting for their system to say the quote was no longer valid which it didn't!

Which backs up hks-s14 story "they said that the quote is now void because they are not insuring any new business who drive imports...existing customers are ok however." I hope/think this is the reason why my quote is still ok, ie I have a car currently insured with RAC among other things!

called RAC as they didn't call back

who wants to guess what my yearly premium is now for a:

1994 R33 GTST

25 years old 60% no claim?

i'll post the new amount later but for now u can guess and i'm a happy chappy so if you know what i already pay its less :D

    • I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.    
    • I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet
    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
    • Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.
    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
