No, just well off, they may have worked hard for it, they may have had it handed to them, but money does have a tendency of bringing out the asshole in some people.

If I know people who have drug money, I'm not aware of it, I don't tend to run in those circles like Milan ;)

I lived in an area where no one had money and that can also bring out the worst in some people. But no insurance fraud,  no one had any type of insurance , we had nothing to insure LOL. No other types of insurance fraud like slipping over in a shop, might say , can I call you a cab ? , well if they had a phone and that was highly unlikely,  haha

I think most people with money are less likely to rip you off, this does not include people that are trying to get as much money as they can get and whatever they get is still not enough.

Some groups seem to have specialized scams to rip off the system, staged accidents, stolen cars,  all types of insurance fraud , unemployment  and family benefit payments and this includes some families that have not had job for 2 + generations , 2 or more wives. These are the arseholes that make all of types of  insurance go through the roof.

The honest people pay for them to do it  , because the insurance companies won't take a loss for long , they just pass it along to us and Centrelink has no money apart from our taxes , so taxes go up :( 

I was just about to up my insurance cover from $65k to whatever , but I guess I will put a bollard in my garage behind the 34 so it makes it harder to knock it off  :/

You can leave it in my shed if you want. premiums will be lower as I'm in a lower risk area ;)

I'll even give it a run from time to time for you.

hahaha, probably come back as a block of crushed metal :660_skull_crossbones:

In getting a new Plazmaman  intercooler and tossed the old one in the bin

I am in a low risk area and being a geriatric also helps , lol

But doing vidz and skidz is a sure way to have someone else use their crusher :(

I was thinking of calling the VVC but decided to wait until the new year and see what happens when mine is up for renewal in January , this is my 3rd year with them, so ????

I'm finding the whole balance of GT-R ownership a bit skewed honestly. 

How long I keep it remains to be seen. 

you've been saying this for years now. Go away. Give me the GTR.

Just rang NRMA classic trying to insure my car ive got clean record and 34years old and without even getting into any mods or anything i was told they don't insure 93 model gtr's..  But would insure earlier ones, after i told them the cars are the same from 89-93 they still held fast, it's like were just back pedalling out of it.

So who's everyone using now back to shannons? or famous.  car only does events and probly 200km  per year on road, so thinking i could just insure for fire and theft at agreed value, as car owes well over 100k?  Anyone had any luck with that?

With all due respect - I really think this thread contributed to the downfall of NRMA scheme, especially with insured values being advertised.

Not even the Nissan Silvia community (incl. the dregs of society like myself) have been naive enough to post detail about this excellent insurance umbrella on a forum platform. We all know the interwebz is a playground for fraudsters looking to make a quick buck......

Sorry to hear you can't insure your GT-R's anymore.....

*shrug* mines insured for a fair price and a reasonable premium. Plenty of others the same.

Lets hope I never need it.

Silvia dregs of society lol, I have one of those too, can confirm, am serious bogan :D

As someone whos been in the market for a BCNR33 for 10 months.....probably wise to opt out now given insurance will be a fortune for the thing.....thats one less buyer for a GTR already.

Time for plan b of a v8 E92 M3

LOL!! yuppp!


I do recall back in the mid 00's my cousin paying an f'Ing fortune for insurance on his BNR32 - because GTR's were getting stolen left right & centre, plus getting written off. I'd dare say GTR's have become as popular again as they were back then, if not even more popular....... so I can only assume the exact same thing is happening all over again.....

Insuring an r32 gtr at 40-45k is not unreasonable I know of more then one that has sold at those prices, but people insuring them for twice that is where the problem comes from

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
