How do they know you only did 10 trips??? Seems like an open ended thing to me.

I could do one trip to Adelaide and clock up 5,000km, or you could do 20 trips to the shops and clock up 500km.

No idea how they know you've only made 10 trips, but that's what was explained to me before purchasing. I thought it best not to ask too many questions lol as i prefer that to the 9000 km rule. Doubt i will make 9000 km though :P

Same deal with going to the shops, your "not supposed" to but how would they know?

if it gets stolen from the shopping center it's pretty obvious

NRMAVVC even told me that its an AVERAGE of 10 times a month - so you could be doing over 10 times this month, and none in the next month. As long as it comes out as an average of 10/month.

I didn't ask how NRMAVVC keep track of it or get it proved. However, I was with Lumley Special Vehicle before and they are using the same policy and LSV said to me if you make a claim, they will then try track it down e.g. asking your neighbours etc. Very vague.

p.s. I've been trying to keep a good relationship with my neighbours :yes:

Will increasing the agreed value affect my premium/excess a whole lot?

My premium increased $50/year after bringing up agreed value from 75k to 80k. Worth.

Best to ask for a quote.

The latest PDS as some of you have already noticed states that a Classic Car like your GTR or GT has to be driven 10 or less times per month to qualify for insurance.

I went to NRMA this morning too, to get clarification of what the PDS means by "Drive Day". The PDS states that Classic Cars are not covered on "Track Days or Drive Days". I'm told that "Drive Days" include 'Cruises'. So just be warned that even if you tag along with a 'Cruise', nominally you are NOT actually participating if you want to remain insured with NRMA VVC on that day.

That is a tough one, you would be on the road as normal but with friends in other cars going to the same location, what difference is that to going for a drive ?

I wonder if there are more hidden restrictions that could pop up and bite your arse ???

Considering 90% of classic cars are driven for club cruises I'm going to get clarification on this. Strikes me as odd...

Not only that, people that would fall into the vintage insurance would do these cruises to show their cars off, that is what they do to show their cars off to other like minded people ?????????

Does NRMA Vintage allow salvage buy backs?

Good one, I had it written down to ask the exact question and forgot, Alzheimer kicking in, LOL

Just hope if iI did write it off, I am still around to buy it back :/

Just gave NRMA VC a call and the woman says they changed their policy a couple of months ago and no longer consider skylines to be a collectible :-S ( I did mention I had a 94 R32 GTR to insure )

Anyone else been advised of this ?

    • I'm seeing torque specs all over the place for the OUTER tie rod, but none for the INNER tie rod, where it connects to the steering rack. Even in videos, people are just tightening em up as much as they can with a wrench and that's it. Anything tightened down without torque makes me nervous. Anyone know what the spec is for it?
    • Hope you had a great time here in our tiny country.   The JDM scene we have here is quite small, it's mostly BMW, Volkswagen with burble tunes haha. But the few JDM cars we do have in the scene are pretty nice. Some of my friends drive cool s14's too. Both built engines, red one makes abt 500, blue one abt 400 i think?
    • Ye good idea , would have never thought of something like that. Might aswell do it to every pulley and the balancer while I’m there 
    • Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.
    • Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
