Seems they are all over the place with there price of renewals lately. I've taken out another policy and cancelled my old one.... I was impressed with the price. I haven't had any negatives yet.

Waiting to see what Lumley will bill me this year, its due to come in the mail very shortly.

GTR and S2000 with them for years now but the S2000 is currently at a panel shop after someone tried to break into it while it was parked at the casino.

Idiots cut the roof to open a door (and i just fitted a new roof a few months earlier), dented the door trying to climb over and in to get to the door handle, scratched one side, busted the steering lock and made a mess of the alarm wiring, police said a Convertible Audi was also broken into that night in the same carpark and way.

If i see a marked increase the others may be getting a call.

Will also point out Lumley was a bit difficult to get a assessor out and process the claim too, took quite a few calls from us and the panel shop to get things happening.

Was not impressed at the time, hopefully the next bill wont be higher to make it worth the trouble i went through.......

I've been using NRMA vintage for about 12 years on another vehicle I own. Recently bought an R32 GTR and insured it with them for agreed value, premium was around $460 / year. Great deal if your car is secured and does less than 9k per year,

I adjusted my policy today with NRMA VV&C after doing some work to the car. Still very easy to deal with.

However, it's worth noting that the woman I was speaking with said that next year they are changing everything up a bit. Most importantly is that they are going to do away with the 9000km a year limit, and change it to "Do you drive your car more than 10 times per month" .

I can see that being easier to manage, but will open the flood gates a bit I assume, and more customers = higher premiums I would be thinking.

Still, we'll see how it goes.

Dam sad for me and my old 33 ,$ 1200 a year but she is my daily,do 30000 at least a year,thought about getting a dunger but couldn't do it.Lifes to short to be bored out of my brain. :-) :-) :-)

I bought this car yesterday and insured with with NRMA VVC..........

It's totally stock down to the exhaust and radio! :yes::yes::yes::yes::yes:

$589.10 with a $750.00 Excess.

Pretty good deal I think.

Seeing what everyone's values are on their r32s, I have mine way to low at the moment and will need to have it fixed. I'm sure it will mean an increase in the premium though (oh well)

My renewal came around a month ago, $25 cheaper! This equated to around $400 per year for an agreed value of $18000. I called them up and increased value to $22000 which increased the premium upto around 450. I think my excess is 500 might may be less, sorry I'm abit vague with detail as I'm away on holiday at the moment.

I have to say it wasn't as easy as i was expecting to increase the value, took a little persuading and i had to describe the restorative work i had done and how much i had spent over the previous year etc, etc

    • Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)
    • For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.
    • I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...
    • Ah right. Maybe my rb just loves chewing through batteries lol.
    • On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
