Hey everyone, it’s me again with some updates!
    1.    Turns out the import duty for a Japanese car manufactured in Japan is actually just 2.5%. I wasn’t sure at first, it sounded too good to be true, but it checks out! Also definitely no IVA needed for cars over 10 years old. 
    2.    After a long wait, I’m collecting the car from the garage tomorrow. The DVLA took ages to process the registration.
    3.    Looks like I misunderstood the garage initially. The prep they did was for the MOT and didn’t include fluid changes. Still, the service was excellent!
    4.    According to gov.uk, the car is ULEZ compliant, so no charges in most of the UK. Only Bristol and Birmingham charge for their clean air zones. I’m getting a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) to exempt it everywhere else.
    5.    The CoC costs around £300. It’s specific to the chassis number, not a generic document. I struggled to find clear info on this, so I hope this helps anyone in the same boat.
    6.    The front finisher is cracked right above the B-pillar, battery was dead when car arrived so it’s probably happened at the ship. It’s frustrating, and I wasn’t expecting such a part to be pricey. I’ll try to get it repaired.
    7.    I’ve booked a used car inspection at Nissan on Tuesday for just £25, which is a good deal. It’s on their website, you should look at it if you need a general check. 
    8.    I’ve got new tyres, Michelin Pilot Sport 5, and they’re being fitted on Thursday. I struggled to find a clear answer for tyre sizes, looks like jdm is different than UK spec, and decided to go with the size on the car. 215/55/R17 for front and 225/55/R17 for rear. 
    9.    Insurance costed me £1,460. Considering it’s my first car, I’ve only had a UK license for a year, and have no NCD, I think that’s fair. Fingers crossed for a better rate next year!

Now I’m looking into oil recommendations and hoping to tackle the change myself.

Thanks, everyone for the advice and info so far!

Absolutely stunning this

As a sunset orange owner this really is making me drool.

Out of interest, what was insurance like with all the mods.

I know it varies from person to person greatly but compared to other cars you have or have had.....

The highest afaik is around 630? Main thing will be the insurance since Im in a weird spot. I know the fuel economy is going to be worse. Might be better off waiting in the meantime I guess.

Hi Dan,

 

The advisor wasn't terribly clear and didn't really give me a reason. She then transferred me to another insurer who told me they couldn't help because they specialise in convicted drivers... bit strange!

 

I ended up going with Chris Knott in the end.

 

Thanks,

Hi.

Ok thanks for letting me know.

Glad you managed to get it sorted in the end though.

Hi guys,

 

I just bought a 2006 Fairlady Z (Z33) and I'm super excited about it. However, I'm having a lot of trouble finding an insurer that'll cover it due to it being an automatic. As the UK 350Z was never made as automatic, all the insurers seem to think it doesn't exist! I'm trying to get coverage starting from tomorrow, but every company I've tried is either a 'no' or a 'maybe, we'll call back tomorrow'.

 

For anyone who owns one of these cars or similar, it would be great to get your recommendations! So far I've tried:

 

• Admiral (no)
• Sheilas' Wheels (no)
• Adrian Flux (no, then sent me to a convicted drivers specialist???)
• Greenlight (no)
• Japcover (maybe)
• Brentacre (maybe, not in their database)
• Performance Direct (maybe)

 

I will need to be able to drive this car to get to the office (great commuter, eh?), so I'm getting quite desperate!

 

To be clear, I'm in my early 30s and I've held a license for 10 years with as many years of NCD. I'm also facing the "first RWD car" paradox, to make matters worse. And I live in London. I can only guess it's a combination of all of the above, plus the fact that an automatic Fairlady Z is considered a unicorn.

 

Thanks,

 

Lexi

Hi.

I'm surprised we couldn't offer some kind of premium. Did we advise you why we couldn't help?

I will never work insurance out. I have the only Datsun 510 SSS Coupe in the UK. I have a fixed value of 27k on it, value needs adjusting as going up. I have 3k limited annual mileage, max no claims and I pay Footman James £120 a year fully comp with show coverage for damage should the worst happen. Work that one out ? I paid more with Adrian Flux for my 2014 £5k Fiesta paying £230 per year !!!!

Its very common for classic insurance to be far cheaper than modern, regardless of vehicle value etc. Again many factors for this are the classic cars are rarely on the road, normally looked after and in storage etc. The claim statistics are far less than somebody's everyday run around, hence the cheaper premiums.  

Insurance prices are affected by every detail of the client.

All i can advise to avoid any issues is to declare all the information as best of your ability. 

Its up to the insurers themselves to determine what job roles or occupations bring in a lower/higher premium, and with thousands of occupations available it would be difficult to give you an exact reason for this.

One question you can answer as it always bugs me.

 

I work in IT, but when I said it was IT in the Private Education sector it was cheaper than when I put IT field engineer in the Hospitality Sector. 

Additionally, the first quote (current price) has Business use, commute and SDP the latter was for SDP only.

Just put down the information that fits more to what you do.

If you're ever unsure maybe best to call the insurer and ask for their opinion.
