And I used to work for IAG's sole remaining big competitor. Damn insurance, everyone works there or around it.

Yup! As i was taking them out I was like "this one too!?" I eventually figured it was all four but it seems one is fine.

$50 for them?

I put the factory shocks back in car since the Apexi's I bought on Trademe were leaking copiously. Now it looks like I'm ready to go off-roading. If anyone wants some dead coil-overs (for the springs maybe?) you can have them for next to nothing.

NEVER EVER GET INSURANCE OVER THE PHONE!

There are actually quite a few rules for insurance, the one I was referring to is laid out in the Insurance Law Reform Act 1977. It's quite surprising all the intricacies really. You are exactly right about not paying the premiums owed, in fact it is not uncommon for an insurance company to backdate...

comes down to whether you want insurance or not i guess. If you're insured and not certed for circlip adjustable suspension, and you have an accident, can near guarantee they won't pay out....

Yeah that active amp would probably be a good place, does the HICAS even have a power feed at the back? I thought it was all on fluid pressure.

I'll see if my mate found his full workshop manual he had, massive ring binder of info including wiring diagrams.

Yeah NAC make all of their money charging high premiums to the people who won't get insured elsewhere, that's their market niche. Good on them for helping those people out, but if other companies will take you on they will almost certainly be cheaper.

Haha well it just so happens I do! Me and my friend spent quite a while trying to figure it out on his GTR.

If it's the base your stuck on, it's just push in clips, so pull it upwards. Let me know where your stuck.

Your hard pressed to avoid IAG these days, they are over half the market. For third party only most companies should cover you despite the mods, who were you with?

I could take photos for you, since I now own this car, but the hard top is on so you won't see much. It is a bit of a nuisance that you can move the seat all the way back, and yes a back stay would be more re-assuring.
