ok so, thanks for all the feed back and the companies you have used. I have done allot of shopping.

I finally landed on an insurer.

interestingly it is also NRMA classic (well its actually SGIC vintage but same same)

they went through what the cars has and all of the details and this is what I came up with:

1989 gtr 120k (haltech, wheels, exhaust, stereo, coilovers)

$30,000.00 agreed value

windscreen and glass cover

roadside assistance

choice of repairer

$44 a month

$300 excess.

I can drive it 10 times a month and must be garaged safely

im bloody happy with that price and the fact that they are happy to cover me for what I think is a good amount for my car.

don't let your gtr be uninsured. I would use my car as a baseline tbh, oldest standard model possible with minimal average mods in good condition.

another happy little update with my policy mentioned above.

i have added my panasports in full detail to my policy cover as well as the haltech. my payments have only changed to:

$46 per month

$300 excess

$36,000 agreed value.

still very impressed, havnt made a claim yet but atleast i am not worried about my modifications untold, or if wheels get nicked, im allowed $4500 to replace the rims if they do go missing.

Extra $24 a year for $6k value increase is winning in my books! Plus the cover of your listed modifications that they are now aware of. Once I get around to install the modifications with my 33 gtr I'll probably give NRMA a call and mention the mods that have been completed to keep it on record and hopefully the value might go up a smidgeon also.

thats just it, if my wheels get nicked then i have $4500 to play with to replace them, as i had no receipts for them being private sale, they asked for photos on the car and all the details which is great, they hold my record of them so you dont have the response which my mate had once claiming on stolen wheels "you can buy mags for $1000 new" 

 

aslong as you have reason to up the value they up it.

Just got my Shannon's renewal in the mail ($75/month, down from $125/month) now that it's been 2 years since my encounter with Skippy.

Thought I'd still try SGIC (NRMA) VVC.......$46/month with the same $40,000 agreed value but down to a $300 excess instead of $500 with Shannon's.

Note I am saving $3-4/month due to now also switching over a couple of other policies to now have all my insurances with SGIC.

My renewal came through, and Famous have offered me $25K value, up from $14.5K at the last renewal. However, they said they may be able to go higher with a comparative quote. Yearly cost is $1150. So, clearly i should talk to SGIC/NRMA... For the following mods on a fair condition car, what value should i ask for? (or will they determine it?)

R34 GTR Wheels
Tein NA suspension 
Nismo front suspension arm kits (54501-RS585-R & 54502-RS585-R) 
Whiteline front and rear anti-roll bars
D2 356mm brakes
Aftermarket exhaust
Nistune
R34 GTR front seats

There will be some market value figure that NRMA will have listed for the 32 gtr's. With their current price $25k is easily achieveable if not more. Depending on what they offer you, you can ask them to raise the value, usually at a small cost but you have to 'prove' why you believe the car is worth more. Obviously not factory and modified constitutes as being worth more in value, not just maintenance costs, etc.

Would've thought at least $30k based on the above.

My car is by no means flawless but was still valued at $40k without even trying....

I've had the same experience talking to NRMA as mr_rbman.

$40k was agreed upon without mentioning any modifications I'd done, I recall the premium for me was around 6-700/p.a.

I'd hit em up for 45k and see what they come back with.

(I didn't go with them as the policy didn't suit my requirements in some areas)

    • I wouldn't be concerned at all, other than to suggest having them flow tested when you receive them to confirm they are reasonably similar, and then put the highest to lowest flowing ones in cylinder 6,1,5,2,4,3
    • I’m only posting this cause I thought I had seen a bad review on these somewhere before. Any feedback? Would you guys recommend that if I do buy these I send em to RC to have em checked before installing. Or any other suggestions?   https://www.ebay.com/itm/114009965865?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=JDl-15yLQ8C&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=QTzlFXB1S-S&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now.
