Shit, Hope I haven't missed the boat

I hope not :glare: Maybe it could also be judged on your driving record if they take you on or not ??

if you do not track your car I cannot see the problem for them. If you are on the road, Skyline drivers still have to play by the rules.

One advantage for NRMA is, our street cars are worth more to most of use than you can insure them for and we want them in one piece :wub:

My car has spent over 6 months off the road during my insurance, still is, so that just doubled the price as I could not use it, no good stealing it and without the motor it is still too heavy to push, haha

I guess I will find out soon if they have stopped insurance for these types of older cars. I wonder if they knock back Porsche, Lambos, Corvettes etc over 15 years old??

Cannot be because they are fast, there must be other reasons behind it, maybe the mods. My guess is that more younger blokes (under 40ish ) go for the Rs and older blokes go for the other types of older vintage fast cars?

I'm just surmising here, without aiding and abetting anything...

(and if you need to look up the definition of surmise, please do so)...

I wonder if you can insure your car with NRMA VVC without listing mods (unless asked if you have any)...

and then upon renewal, they won't mind you listing off a few (mods).

The PDS they have still says the will take mods.

But they have to accept them. So this 1 example may have been a little over the top. I have had no issues with mine.

Hell when i called they just said "our system doesn't let us enter specifics, i wil just put modified engine"

In saying that my engine isn't overly modified. But you get the point.

Interesting. When I joined last year they asked for specific mods. The list was so long I had to email it to their admin staff. The printout I got in the mail is so long it runs onto the return slip on the bottom.

RACV Vintage

2000 BNR34 (just made it in)

10,000km per year , Lock up gargage required. Isnt covered for trips to the shop haha

Agreed value $65,000

Excess $300

Premium $917 a year

yeah i'd like to see the "isn't driven to the shops" stand up.

As long as it isn't the primary vehicle, what's to say you were not on a "hobby" run and had to get fuel, or something to eat on the way home.

in the PDS it doesn't actually state what "hobby" driven is.

Literally your hobby could be driving the car to work. It's so loosely worded.

Yeah, no system is perfect.

So long as it isn't broken - or no-one breaks it.

Unlikely from this club ay David Snape, if you're having a squizz at this!

Still, thanks to NRMA VVC!

Last year it was 9000km per year now it's ten days per month when I renewed, your saying for you 10000km per year.

Are they just making it up as they go?

And when I go to the petrol station to fill up is that not a shop?

I think it should be more clear for us all.

Update:

RACV Classic: $930pa (Excess $500, for an agreed value of $51,000)

Very happy with that

At first I got a push back from them saying the car isn't in the 16th year, but the build was in March they accepted it.

Funny enough when I did the application they never asked me if my car was modified - they just asked for the name, brand of the car and that was it.

I want to increase the insurance amount but will wait around a little bit in case they have a change of heart.

Had my renewal in today and a better deal, all paid :yes:

I guess they they have no problem with the R moded cars as long as it is within their policy specs.

Better price this year, I have been with NRMA roadside this time for 18 years, had a gap when my financial fortunes Fd up, but all up about 35 years.

I am glad they have this type of insurance and I feel I am being rewarded for my long term loyalty .

You'll also find they aren't taking new customers, existing customers will be able to renew with an issue

What is the issue for existing customers ?

I cannot see anything other than what I had agreed to , except the driving 10 days a month from the 9000klm from the last policy ?

Maybe I will have another look tomorrow, been a long day

Moved from shannons over to Nrma vvc, agreed value, mods allowed, unlimited km's, but no more than 10 days a month, around $900, less than half the price of shannons. Thanks to the tip you guys, with the money I saved I can now buy more nismo parts :yes: .

Not skyline related, but worthy of this post..

My dad goes through Nrma vvc for his 1974 Torana SLR5000, Agreed value of 45k, 9000kms a year, Didnt need pics, Didnt ask about Modifications ( did a 11.3 qtr at eastern creek, with plenty of wheel spin.. )

and $450 per year.

Clean driving record for 12 years, and 59years old, Apparently means they dont question the usage or mods of the vehicle.


I was also denied this for my previous vehicle, as it was too modified, Only took them about 4 minutes to say no. Assuming my age screwed it up for me. i was 21 at the time.

    • Yeah, thumbsup from me. The distant shot of the bay just looks same-same as before.
    • Dad had a court case drag out with them from 1998 to 2004. He was in a not at fault accident, NRMA were the ones who covered the other person. They tried to blame his neck injuries on the fact he'd had an injury in 1981 on his extreme lower back where he slipped a single disc right near the bottom. Had been all cleared from that injury for years. This accident destroyed his shoulder, and f**ked a heap of discs in his neck, and he still has major problems with it to this day. Sarah's sister while on her L plates had a small Suzuki Alto, she had stopped to give way to an ambulance, and someone changed lanes behind her because there lane was also slowing, and rear ended her at 80km/h. (She had been stopped for a few seconds already too!). Car was completely f**kED. NRMA sent the vehicle around to 3 different workshops as they kept claiming "We believe it can be repaired, and not written off, we just need to find the correct workshop". It took 3 months, and a lot of arguing before they'd concede and wrote it and paid out. About two years later her sister had a Lancer, someone pulled out of a stop sign without stopping (in an 80 zone). Her sister swerved, hit the front of the other persons car (Instead of dead t-boning the drivers door), which ramped her Lancer, and made it roll multiple times down the road. It hit every panel on the way through. Her sister had slid her self out of the car, and remembers the ambos walking to the accident (They'd been sitting at a set of lights just down the road and witnessed it) and they were saying "Well, this ones going to be a fatality, no way you can walk away from that". Well, she did. And then NRMA sent two assessors out to look at the car, both of which wrote it off. They tried to send another assessor out, except a HUGE uproar was raised, and they FINALLY paid it out. That was on a car, that had damage to EVERY panel, you could see from 100m away the whole car was also twisted, roof bowed etc. Nah, we'll try get out of needing to payout on a $10,000 car... Her sister ended up with major shoulder reconstructive surgery being required, and was permanently limited in her ability to do her job as a nurse after that, as she can't (And was told before surgery too this would be guaranteed to happen) regain full strength in that shoulder. However, there was no choice to not have it, as she could barely use her arm, which was her dominant one, and was in near constant major pain. (And she's the type of person that would try and walk off a broken leg!) NRMA did the biggest run around on the personal injury side too for about 18 months, even to the point of trying to put 100% blame of the accident on Sarah's sister, even though the other driver admitted she didn't look, and didn't stop, and was charged by the police. Sarah used to have a Barina insured with them. It was a policy setup, paid all 12 months in advance. At the end of the 12 months, Sarah was living with me, I reviewed the renewal, it clearly stated "If you do nothing, your policy will cease on XYZ date". We did nothing, as we moved her insurance in with all of mine and I was with Shannons. We find out 10 months later, NRMA decided, because he DAD had a car insurance policy at the same address as what Sarah's mailing address was (Garaged address had been changed), that they'd put Sarah's (What should have been non existent policy) onto her Dad's month to month charges on his credit card. We had to jump through hoops, to get a refund. They didn't care that we actually found the letter that said "If you do nothing, your policy will cease" they made us prove we had NON COMPULSORY insurance else where before they'd issue the refund, and after they agreed to the refund, it still took another 6 weeks and 3 more phone calls for them to actually process it. They also had two insurance claims from storm damage, and they were an absolute cluster to get resolved as well (one vehicle, one house). Some how, up until about 3 years ago, her parents were still loyal to NRMA too, and we were like "How the hell are you so loyal to staying with them, when other places are so much cheaper, and they've f**ked you over every time you've ever had to make a claim?"
    • I got the four AN10 fitting welded up to the cam covers and started up making the head to sump breather/drain lines. The front passenger side cover I used a 45 up top and a 90 at the bottom into the stock VCT head drain spot (3/4" BPST to AN10 adapter) thats unused on the RB25DET NEO with some speedflow flame shield to protect it from the manifolds heat.   back passenger side was a 90 up top with some flame shield and 45 at the sump end. The rear drivers is 45 at both ends   the front drivers fitting is capped off for now but ready to go if i want to try moving the breathers around. I was told by the fabricator to leave all the welds raw for now to make sure there are no pin hole leaks. A lot of cleaning up, re bundling looms and degreasing to go as well as final assembly on the cam cover baffles. The first real test will be 28th March at a Circuit event. added complexity and more spots for leaks but overall looks relatively neat imo
    • Yeah i think the dash needs to come out. To get the loom or maybe just climate control and radio cluster. My mirrors are done i think the motors don’t work so well after flood haha i need the ac fan, you said you wanted to keep it for your 31 and interior loom not including boot. The wiper motor. I’m not sure how good the window surrounds are on the exterior on the pintara.  I will message you to get your bank details shortly 
    • Just another barrier put up to stop cars being modified. When we're all driving Chinese sewing machines, you won't want to modify it anyway, and you'll likely already have slashed your wrists and be locked up in a padded room for your own protection.
