After reading this thread and hearing about people paying about the same for their R32's full comp as i'm paying for just third party +fire&theft i thought it was about time i gave NRMA a call......then i found out they dont insure people in VIC, the woman told me they usually forward people to the RACV. I didn't think they would but i gave them a call and sure enough they will Insure me with a car value of $18000 for $400 odd! that is epic, i'm switching today. The guy told me it's exactly the same as the NRMA policy just branded RACV.

Good stuff.

Totally agree here on Justin's thread.

What title does RACV give it?

What restrictions, if different from NRMA Vintage Classic & Veteran?

The RACV calls it : Veteran, Vintage & Classic Car Insurance here is the link: http://www.racv.com.au/wps/wcm/connect/racv/Internet/Primary/insurance/car+insurance/veteran,+vintage+_+classic

The guy i spoke to said it's exactly the same as the NRMA policy

The guy i spoke to at justcar when i called to cancel my policy couldn't believe i was leaving to goto racv, he seemed to think they had made a mistake and i was just lucky to not be refused by them.

I tried to explain to him that, No it's not a mistake and it's different to normal racv because it's the classic, vintage, veteran, but he still seemed doubtfull.

when going ahead with my new 'racv' policy the girl told me that it is exactly the same insurance as the nrma, (ie if i called nrma from nsw wanting classic car insurance she is the same person that i would be talking to), She said it's actually a better deal with the racv as i get 8 free roadside assistance call outs per year as opposed to the nrma's 2.

I'll vote for thread of the year..........certainly has made me a happy man

Good to see Shannons getting a run for their money.

however will be interesting to see this time next year with everyones renewals. Will they increase or not?

these lower premiums + high performance cars (lower exposure being limited use though!) may seem not enough 'premium pool' to cover claims (large losses) meaning an increase of premiums + excess.

however if they are on to something good and have good portfolio management - they are on to a good thing and its a winner for you guys!

maybe even someone ex shannons/lumley works there now and seen how to run this segment !

good bye shannons!! time for me to leave them too...but its only my mx5 I'd be able to take there...thats if they offer storage/laid up cover.

Pfft. I would still rather switch and save $1200.

As for thread of the year??? About insurance. Pretty boring thread. But I guess it's saving people a lot of dollars.

    • Haha actually I did join back then under a different email address,  I couldn't re-activate my account so made a new one! I didn't post much anyway so not missing out on much. Amazing to see how the value of the cars and parts has changed over the years, also ACT section appears to be dead now. 
    • Thanks... It's in pretty good condition overall, probably due to not being drifted/tuned however being a daily driver has taken its toll. Had 100k on the clock when I got it, up to 180k now. Unfortunately it's not 100% dent free, it's got a small dent on FLH side and broken indicator from where I hit a small kangaroo at high speed. If you look at closely at pic #5 you might spot the dodgy trailer light repair my old man and I rigged up as temporary repair! - It's still there due to a combo of needing the car as daily driver and then too lazy/busy to fix properly. I've a couple of other minor accidents accidents as well but nothing major. One required a new front bar and unfortunately the smash repairer ordered the normal gtst one and not the aero bar. Needed the car back asap so just went with it, regretted ever since.
    • I can't believe that anyone is foolish enough to believe that the base maps are for any other purpose than to drive the car up onto the trailer/truck or gently creep it to the dyno. No matter how good they are, they can never be any better than the factory maps**, and only the foolish trust those on a significantly modified setup. **Yeah, yeah. I know there's also the difference between factory maps being fixed to certain injector sizes and MAP/AFM/VE relationships, and the likely aftermarket ECU base maps being better able to handle the sorts of changes that would render a stock ECU dangerous, like different sized injectors. But let's just ignore that for the moment, because the principle is still the same.  
    • I'm shocked, you've owned a Skyline since 2006 and never joined SAU before now! 馃槷   Welcome, it's much quieter these days than it was in 2006, but lots of very knowledgeable ones lurk around here. I actually think in outage we've forgotten more about Skylines than anyone knows about them today... 馃槢
    • So it could give us some info. Such as we find out what number they started at, and we know how many of those blocks came before it.
