Hey guys.

Im looking to get into a R32 GTR in the very soon future and rang up Just Cars for insurance the other day.

I am only 19, which I guess means I have a rating of 5? Have no accident history or anything.

Car has rebuilt motor, bigger turbo's, mags and stereo.

Anyway, I dont know if they stuffed something up or what, but I got a quote of $2531 for full comprehensive and an agreed Value of $23k.

To me, that sounds very VERY low, as a mate is paying a little over $3k a year for his R33 gts-t skyline.

Does that sound correct to you guys??

Cheers, Brett :)

Check what the excess is........because i rang up Just Car a few months back and they quoted me just under 1k premium but the excess was like $1500(ok i was 24 at the time and had a bit of insurance before, and the car is a 96 R33 GTSt) But i then rang Shannons and they were $1200 Premium and only $600 excess and that includes my wheels, Pfc, Cooler + the rest of my mods.

Basically check what the excess is because lets hope you don't crash or it gets stolen.....BUT if it does happen you could be up for a bit, Otherwise if excess is reasonable go for it straight up!

Hrmm.. Excess is $1790 lol..

That could be why it is so cheap?

Unfortunaltye I dont think I will be having a GTR within 30 days, because I have to sell my VLT first :)

Want to save some more money first before I get into a GTR too.

However, if you know someone who wants to swap a R32 GTR for a VLT with a cash adjustment, tell them to come see me! lol..

My premium is just over 2k on a 17k R33, that was fairly stock. As of now it has fmic, turbo back exhaust up from cat back, and in 4 weeks will have turbo, ecu etc etc......

They are going to flip haha. But yeah I checked as well, and a R32 GTR is cheaper to insure than a R33 Gtst. Can't see why though. If I had of known this I would have considered a GTR instead.

Thats roughly what i was quoted, it largely depends on location.

I know that Broady, Richmond and ringwood are the three worse suburbs for car theft in vic, but here at good ol' 'ky west' a car has never been stolen, and this is a major difference for coverage.

i paid $1750 for my R33 gtst with them, excess is sumthn like $1200, my policy is around here some where.... after i took out my policy, their customer service dept called me for an interveiw about how i was treated by the sales team, which i gave good feed back for, im happy with them........havnt had to clain anything yet lol *touch wood*

lol u jinxed urself :D

I'm 24 with a terrible driving history loss of licence,many speeding fines etc etc i imported a series 2 33 GTR V Spec just cars $3260 and excess of $2600 agreed value $40,000 mods are Volk TE37's Haltech ECU HKS 3.5" exhaust i thought i got a pretty sweet deal as my mate is paying 5K for his 04 rex

Is it possible that I got quoted normal GTR insurance, rather than "imported" GTR insurance??? :(

I very much doubt that would make a difference, i think your just very lucky with that quote.

You better hurry up and find yourself a GTR and take up that quote I think :O

What state are you in?

Edited by _8OO5TED_

There is a clause in most insurance policies stating that you are insured as long as it is legal and roadworthy.

Driving a GTR, let alone a modified one, is illegal at aged 19 (in most states anyway). They will still take you insurance payments, but if you have an accident they may decide to not pay you, as you where driving the car illegally.

Just something to consider...........

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
