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

Thank-you for doing my homework!

:thumbsup:

haha

that'll be a no go for sure.

go see a broker to get you a quote from breeze underwriting...it'll cost you a f**kload though.

and before anyone says shannons will cover you on the track. they wont. only if you have a historic car and you have racing extention applied. they wont sell racing extention to people with skylines...!!!!!

Wow. Just called up and was a bit skeptical as I don't have a GTR but they insured my R32 GTST with some of the modifications we have receipts for.

Currently - Shannons - $2200 p.A

NRMA - $571 P.A comprehensive, insured for more.

I do have my green slip with Shannons, did some one mention that might be problematic when switching comprehensive provider?

Pretty chuffed about this really, hated paying thousands when the car just sat in the garage most of the time... AND this put me in a better discount bracket for having multiple policies with NRMA.

Green slip (CTP) has nothing to do with your comprehensive insurance, CTP is for rego so it won't be affected if you switch (it's prepaid essentially). Companies can give you discounted prices if you have both with them though.

Aww. It does say in the terms racing will void unless agreed upon :P

did some ringing around this week with insurance companies mentioned in this thread and this "classic" car insurance (as opposed to shannons) seems a bit more restrictive.

Shannons will do exceptions for under 25, while none of those companies will.

I got declined from a few of them for receiving 3 minor speeding fines in a 2 year period.

RACV classic didnt want to insure unusual/rare cars under 15 years old.

Im not surprised but it shows how much more flexible shannons can be. probably with modifications too.

Your right with everything except the modifications.

Spot on, you have to be a good boy and clean driving record for the last few years. And obviously only car OVER 15 years.

You can list any mods as far as I'm aware.

But if they have to refuse people because of the above mentioned problems, it's OK with me. I'll be a good boy to keep my premium low.

If I'm stupid and do something wrong I will accept the consequences and pay a higher premium with Shannons for example.

When changing companies , Shannons told me they have the similar insurance - Vintage and Classic

but all cars had be 35 Years old to get a similar premium / price .

Hopefully premiums don't rise unrealistically with NRMA

Yes...

What's also made the NRMA package so popular in recent times is the fact that the company has reduced the age-of-car threshhold from 20 yrs to 15; as one can see in the PDS Supplement.

Due to the fact that many people here on SAU have switched from a company of long standing, most will be watchful when it comes time to renew - I agree.

100% confirmed,

22 years old, $570 a year, $500 excess, insured for $30k.

I'm a very happy customer at the moment. The lady i spoke to on the phone mentioned they had a high proportion of skylines coming across to them from other insurers. Funny that..

I'm saving a whopping $1700 a year on insurance, and it's insured for more moneys.

It will be interesting to see what shannons/Justjap do with their pricing in the next little while.

so your 22 and you were able to insure with them ?

im 23 , no lock up garage , no daily driver atm would i be able to insure with them ?

Correct Terry , i noticed the 20 year threshold in the supplement as well , i almost wanted to ring them and get confirmation ...........

So I made the switch a couple of days ago and when going through the details, I specifically mentioned that the car was mildly modded, between both myself and the previous owner. I asked if the I should send through a list of the mods or go through them over the phone (as previously done with Just Car), and the lady said 'no, we don't list mods on our policy', just insure the car for the agreed value.' She also said just keep the receipts for aftermarket parts in case of an accident.

My question to the converted - did you actually list your mods on your policy or get a similar response to me?

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
