I just spoke with Shannons and all just car customers will be transferred to them as they are underwritten by AAMI, hopefully prices dont change lol

...unless they go down. ;)

For those of you who do track days, Famous Insurance also cover you for this up to $10k or your sum insured whichever is the lesser - it's an additional option which you need to choose (and pay for of course).

My series 3 R33 GTR is with them, $45k value and $1100 a year - every single modification listed.

They also have an association with CAMS Australia, which Shannons used to have however this is now with Famous.

Not particularly. An extra $400 a year (thereabouts) when I sought cover for it, and it covers damage to your car as a result of a collision, but excludes cover for damage due for an incident if caused by mechanical failure such as if your brake hose splits and you hit someone or an oil line bursts and it catches fire (which is fair enough!)

Level 2 licence is required and this is generally what most people who partake in regularity events, drift days etc hold.

If you're doing multiple track events a year, it isn't a huge amount to have some piece of mind.

The odds of collision at the track are far less than f**king up and going into a barrier. Also it only covers cams events. So if you hop between aasa and cams events you are then stuffed.....

I do maybe 2 cams events a year and 3-4 aasa ones.

Just received a letter from just cars. They won't issue any new policies after the 17/1/17. Existing policies will run until renewal is due and customers will receive a renewal offer from Aami 5 weeks before there policy expires.

Waits for Aami to tell me my car is too modified. Lol.


Damn that's gaids. Lucky my R33 shit box modified floating barge is with NRMA Vintage and it cost less than 1/3 the cost of my stock Mazda 3 SP25 lol.

R33 is insured for nearly the same price as the SP25.

Makes no sense.

I should move to Sydney to take advantage of this [emoji12]

so what is reasonable? with Shannons here and pay about 700 per year for ' market value' (currently around 10,500) comprehensive on a modded R33..Old driver, no claims. Only thing that concerns me is I don't have salvage rights...which would be the real value if the car was ever a write off.

go to NRMA Vintage Insurance, it's half what you're paying + you get free road side assist/tow if you're 100km+ away from home.

Racv offer classic / veteran / vintage cover in Victoria, literally same deal as the nrma one. I've got my z32 on it,  almost a quarter the price of my previous shannons policy.

It does make sense, because the NRMA V&V scheme is specifically designed to cater for a certain assortment of vehicles, there is also a usage limitation on the V&V policy as well - where as the SP25 would likely be on a normal motor policy and on frequent usage.

My R33 GTR ($45k) is on a limited use set up with Famous and it costs less to insure than my gf's lancer ($14k) which is on an everyday usage.

I guess insurance generally only makes sense (when dealing with loss ratios, claim frequency, average claim costs, claims per age demographic, claims per vehicle make, claims per vehicle value brackets etc) for those of us who work in the industry ;)

I guess so, however the SP25 has a 10k km limit and the R33 has a 9k km limit... which is why I find it funny... so "technically" both cars "could" be used the same amount of time.

However it does come down to statistics, more crash =  higher premiums.

    • Isn't there a fitting on the back of the balance tube? That's what the OEM boost gauge uses.
    • Getting a decent signal from all 6 throats is a challenge. I don't know for sure, but I suspect that the stock balance tube is not ideal for it. I have done it on an ALFA 4 cylinder (about 35 years ago, so don't ask for too many details). We drilled 4x holes in the manifold runners, put in some fittings and ran hoses to a decent sized (I think it was about 20mm diameter) pipe that ran the length of the inlet manifold. So, it was quite a decent volume. There is a "tuning" balance to be found between the volume of the common plenum on such a thing and the diameter of the pipes running from it to the runners. You need the volume to be large enough to damp out the sharp spikes in pressure signal you get as each runner gets sucked on by its cylinder, but not so large that it becomes too slow to respond to actual changes in MAP. And you need the hoses to be small enough to transmit the signal quickly, but not so small that they delay the signal. You might have to have more than one go at it, if there isn't any actual success based wisdom to be had here. Hopefully there is. Anyway, I would not do it on only a couple of cylinders. I would also not care about "permanently modifying a part". Just bloody drill holes and make stuff better. There is nothing sacred about any GTR unless it is a genuine museum piece that you shouldn't be modifying at all anyway.
    • He's still joining you, he's just delayed it and won't have the fulleh sick ITBs...
    • The strange thing is this is a URAS front bumper (or clone of it). The bumper actually does not sit flush with the GTT hood - You need the addon to make the hood 'long' enough to reach the bumper. I have no idea why they didn't incorporate this piece into the bumper itself.. instead of sticking it to the hood instead.
    • Another thought on this OLD topic: When you paint your bonnet lip, leave a small unpainted back lip/line along the back of the lip, where it rests on the bumper. That way, the line in the back is much more prominent than the gaps in the front/under the lip - and it breaks the hood-to-bumper connection at the "correct" place, when comparing to a GTR. I'm gonna do this with mine this week, so stay tuned for pics!
