When Comprehensive Insurance Can Commence On Your Import.

Insurance Companies - at least some of them - will insure your precious import comprehensively as it arrives in Australia.

Points to take note of are...

* Upon arriving in an Australian port, you can get your insurance company to cover the car for the usual things according to the PDS

* Since the car will take months to get through procedural matters, you may decide to insure the car at first, for fire and theft Vs full comprehensive

* You need to supply the VIN Number

* You do not need to have a Registration Number; nor would you have one (unless your plates are on order)

* You need to have proof of ownership from the agent and country that the car was exported from

* After compliancing and registration, you then need to update your insurance company with Modifications, Engine Number and Registration Number

* If your car is insured for fire and theft only, you may then upgrade to full comprehensive after registering it

Forewarned is forearmed.

If that stolen (off the docks) silver '94 R32 GTR has been already insured, a claim can be made first through the owner's insurance company and subsequently the company will claim against whoever they deem to be at fault.

Hi Terry, I think it was you that said if the car 15 years or older that NRMA has Vintage car insurance for a DD if you do not do over 90000Klms PA ?

A little off topic but cannot find the post

The stipulation Peter is 9000Kms (not 90,000Kms). The thread is in General Automotive where "walkoau" titled it, "NRMA Vintage Veteran and Classic Insurance". Enjoy the read!

I was scared the same thing could have happened to me when i imported the 34R. First thing i did even before the car landed on the docks was get insurance and have it in writing that it would be covered at the docks on arrival. All i had to do was provide the VIN, date of landing, show evidence with photos of the car, vessel name etc.

      R33 GTR lift points for hoist

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.

      Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.

      As well as being risky WRT tipping off anyway. Yeah, I wouldn't expect it to move. Just measure from the rear one to the front one on the good side, then measure that same length on the wrecked side. You will find the notches in the pinchweld, and the jacking pad. Just spray a spot of marker paint or something there.

      but any other area than the bulge you are talking about will just cave in then? The front driver side is pretty bent so I don't know if that will work the way it is now. I can still kinda make out where that bulge is/was but it looks like the position of it also changed due to all the mistreatment? Hard to tell

      Absolutely. Look very closely at the photo (of yours) that I took my second snip of. See how the sill is thicker material right behind the pinchweld, where the two notches are? That is the factory reinforced area for lifting. That pad is supposed to carry the weight. The factory jack (go look at it, and how it interfaces with the car at the pinchweld) shows you exactly how the load is carried from the car to the jack to the ground.
