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.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
