Do what i did and get an sr20 pulsar for 2 years untill your at LEAST 20. Now I have a clean history and Just Car has me on Rating 3 making my 33 insurance $1200. I imagine you will also have more of a chance of staying alive this way too, no disrespect to anyone but IMO a turbo 33 for under 18 is just insane.

alrite thanks guys for all your advise, but i reckon i will just get 3rd party fire and theft insurance with Just cars. that quote came to $406. which sounds like a reasonable deal compared to some others out there..

man i wish it was that cheap thats peanuts of a price .seriuosly mate not to sound mean but wake up to your self that is so ridiculasly cheap its not funny. i would pay it twice just for fun (jokes).

mine cost me $3250. that was the cheapest i could get a 20 yr old p plater..i think you must of lied to get it that cheap..i supose it must be different and more expensive in sydney ..

I can't believe nobody has said if you can't afford the insurance you can't afford the car. Seriously you shouldn't be complaining about your insurance being that price. I'm 19 and my insurance is around 3k for a 32 gtst so you should be happy.

As people have said, $1900 for comprehensive insurance for a turbo skyline for your age is VERY good. I started on $2500 4 years ago and i have just been placed onto a rating 1 paying $1117 (with rating one protection) with just cars.

Just remember though, that with fire, theft, you will only get paid out a maximum value of $7000 or something. Is that really going to cover you if the car does get stolen/set on fire? I looked at doing this option to pay cheaper insurance, but I just couldn't justify paying the premium to only be insured for a maximum value of $7000 if the car was stolen.

Personally, I only have my insurance incase I hit someone or the car is stolen/written off. It costs way too much to claim and unless the damage done is more than $2500, I wont be claiming.

Shit.. thanks for those tips...

Im actually 25 and pay 1100 for full cover with rating 1 protection with Just Cars... u got it bit better :laugh:

Yeh anyway, dont buy the car if u cant insure it properly.

yeh sounds like i am getting a fair good deal. i actually got a second job today, by day im an apprentice plumber and as of today by night ill be a pizza maker at pizza hut. hahaha. i know its lame but anything to get the extra $$ for petrol and incase i need a claim or want to upgrade to comprehensive.

hey you should also consider getting a quote for your car after you have added all the modifications you are planning.

i'm 19, green p plates and in sydney. first time getting insurance and have been placed as rating 2 (is this normal?) and paying $1964 for a 98 gt-t full comprehensive. stock for now but with a full bodykit, exhaust, frontmount, 2500K wheels and 2500K system my premium goes to $2300. quite reasonable i must say.

they put you on a rating 2 with no previous insurance history? Your very lucky there :)

hey thanks, i was a bit worried before i bought the car as a few of my friends who were a bit older than me were paying 3-4k for insurance. I'm just thankful not to have any driving history or claims.

Now to the point of the story, when i head out into town or simply just driving places i see highly modified Skylines and WRX's etc driven by P platers. i called up Just Car Insurance just before and they quoted my $1900 for comprehensive insurance. i dont know about you but i think that is rediculous. i mean i see where they are coming from because i am nearly 18 driving a turbo but $1900!!! Geesus!

wtf? $1900 is average for a P plater. Just Cars quoted me $2740 for my Supra RZ agreed value of $37,000. Dont forget we P platers are a "High Risk"

hey fella's i have bought the R33, f*kin mamouth machene!! i ended up gettin the 3 rd party insurance with fire and theft. my parents are givin me $1000 and putting it into a fund where it gains interest so one day i will be able to afford comprehensive. so now that means no 18th party, but oh well. the skyline deffinatly makes up for it. cheers for all ya comments and stuff.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
