Yep as Peter said, you can choose to keep a log book for your peace of mind that's totally fine. I'm just saying NRMA are relying on their customers to be honest, otherwise they would be writing down all this stuff, or keeping their own log books on every one of their customers.

Ok, so I have decided to make the switch from LSV to NRMA VVC

Instead of the first quote of $75,000 agreed value and $1,080 Premium,

after listing all my mods, I have brought it up to $80,000 agreed value.

$1,130 Premium and $1,000 Excess.

Slightly cheaper than LSV but insured for alot more :smile:

Hi all, just renew-ed my policy so FYI:

NRMA VVC renewal letter came in with $972 premium and everything else e.g. agreed value and excess being the same as last year. Pretty delighted the premium actually went down!

However I gave them a call and increased the agreed value to $110,000, with $1,000 excess and $1,490 Premium.
Note:
1) With premium over $100k, the excess has to be $1k, no more or no less.
2) Apparently there's an endorsement from the underwriter - they will not insure a car over $100k value if the driver is under 30 years of age. The lady from NRMA VVC has waived this for me though.

Hope this helps!

Yeah, so devo. They said the change was made only a few days ago but i'm not sure how true that is...

Who were you with prior to NRMA?

Here in vic and currently with RACV, insurance is due and comes up to $1,650 for a 96 r33 vspec. Tried to get insurance with shannons last year but because it was my first year on full license they said come back next year. So renewal is up and Shannons basically matched the premium and set the agreed value at 30k. Gave RACV a ring to see if they could match the agreed value and they said nope max 25k for the 33 vspec, despite the fact agreed value for a  33 gtr non vspec can go up to 35k (did this by accident when i was checking agreed value limits online but clicked the wrong model).    

If your R33 is not your daily and is garaged, get VVC.

No under 25, if this person has only had their full licence for 12months.
Got told the same thing by RACV and lumleys. Shannons also knocked me back until I was 24 due to having driver training and cams licence (min was 25 at the time)

They didn't have any age restriction, i think Shannons didn't like that i was coming from a 2l subaru to a gtr, racv didn't even bat an eye lid. I do take it to work one or twice a week so vvc was out of the question for now. Think i'll just change to shannons for the higher agreed value.

Im not sure about age restrictions, but this will be my third year under vvc and im 22 with a 1990 r32 gtr. 

Renewal came in at $350, insured for $25,000

I decided to up the agreed value to $40,000 for $447 per year.

No questions even asked, they just wanted to confirm my mods list.

    • If you go 2.8, you're going to want bigger turbos. Scratch that. If you go 2.8, you're going to want one single larger turbo.
    • Definitely the stroker kit. once you mention you have a RB28 everyone will assume you will flog them and hopefully won't start asking about support mods. Anyone will be too scared to race you, except maybe the RB30 boys
    • Just a quick update: I decided to go ahead with the de-cat for now. The exhaust shop inspected the catalytic converter and said it was in good condition. I took a look myself, and it does not appear broken nor clogged. After the de-cat, the car feels more responsive and smoother. The shop also reinstalled the exhaust temperature sensor into the de-cat pipe, and now the warning light no longer comes on, even when driving hard. The only thing that’s bugging me is the tinny, “can-like” sound the exhaust makes now (similar to having a hole in the muffler). The shop suggested that I might need to replace the muffler. I'll have to think on what to do next.  
    • I want to start upgrading but don't have the budget to drop 15k at once, if i was to do one first which would be better and why?
    • Yuh. It is very rare for a single turbo to throw ceramic into the engine. Quite common on GTRs. As I posted above. Mine did destroy the O2 sensor on the way out though! Plastic compressor is fine with the temperature. It's not some flimsy PE/PET/PP thermoplastic. It's a thermoset resin with reinforcing material in it (a composite, as posted by @Lithium above). The compressor never sees much more than 100°C because it's never boosting very high. If you boost it high enough to make a lot of temperature, then the turbine will depart the scene and stop the party anyway.
