folderiser Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Hello everyone , this is my first post I'm looking at buying an '05 with GT pack. It has Rays alloys, but I'm not sure if these count as a 'modification' for insurance purposes. Can anyone confirm? Apologies if this is answered elsewhere (I did look but couldn't find it). Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 I wouldnt have thought this would count as a mod mate as they are the alloys already on the car! HOWEVER I would suggest that you change the Rays asap lol soz am not a big fan of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev-the-Rev Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Hi and Rays were offered as an option up until 2006 when they came as standard, they therefore wouldn't be seen as a modification, just a factory fitted option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon Chris Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Nothing is a mod if it comes as factory standard fit. Your Rays are part of the GT pack so you are safe. HOWEVER, buy insurance with the option to add mods later without getting ripped off as it is very tempting to put some nice little mods on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

folderiser Posted June 14, 2008 Author Share Posted June 14, 2008 Cheers for the swift reponses. Am test driving tomorrow am!! Good point about getting insurance with modding in mind. As a side-note, are there any buyers guide threads on this forum? Can't see any in FAQ and I'd like to know what to look out for when I'm looking at the car.

folderiser Posted June 14, 2008 Author Share Posted June 14, 2008 Ahem. Just found this: http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5091 I was looking for 'buyer'. Why does this always happen to me on forums? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am a little confused! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am a little confused! As far as I know, yes. If the car had been supplied with those nice Nismo wheels from new then no problem, but if you add them on later they don't much care where you bought them from they 'make the car more desirable' and so more of a risk.

RobD7 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Ok cool, cheers. In which case I'll just have to accept being fleece for having a kit then! To be fair many mods will follow so the premium should nicely spiral! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragun Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Quinn direct insurance is a good company to go with, anything to do with bodykits, alloys, tints, lights etc will not affect your premium...only engine mods will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, I know nothing but the bit about the Nismo wheels being 'mods' is unfortunately true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
