Last I heard Lumleys wouldn't touch the M35, not special enough or something.

I am insured with Shannons, around 1k and no lockup living quarters. Out in the rain with no farks given. They were fine with it.

My last one was insured by Lumleys. End of the day these guys just pick and choose which customers they want - same with Shannons.

Mines currently insured through Lumleys. Haven't had to speak to them, touch wood.

Everyone will be different, not much point in comparing premiums from what I've heard from people in the industry (who are active here on SAU, too).

Age of car, condition of the car, features and mods, location, driving history and driver's age, and usage all play factors in quoting premiums, so no two situations will ever be quite the same...

I used to have my R33 insured with Lumley Special Vehicles, when I got my R34 and just wanted to change it over they said that they have to close off my current policy and open a new policy.. BUT as it's a NEW policy on a SPORTS car, they cannot insure me anymore as they ONLY INSURE CLASSIC CARS NOW, sooo basically told me to go f*** myself!! It didn't make sense as they were insuring my R33, but their response was that they will continue to honor all OLDER policies until such time they are closed. Tried speaking to the CEO and basically muttered the same shite, so told them the go jump!! I did have insurance with AI for a while http://www.aiinsurance.com.au/ who weren't too bad. I'm with Shannon's now and it's up around the 1k mark Rating 1

    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
    • Not required but appreciated. Super Coppermix Twin even the non-competition model feels like the pedal is noticeably heavier than stock which was pretty well judged IMO. I'll be swapping in the Nismo operating cylinder soon to see how that feels.  Personally I haven't felt anything that justifies replacing the damping loop, at least compared to more modern stuff where the clutch delay valve is actually quite noticeable.
