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...........

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox !
