im in sydney which is rediculously expensive

famous quoted $2300 for a $20000 r32 1992 gts4 which is ok

but

they quoted $3600 for $35000 1993 r32 gtr which is awesome

suncorp wanted $7k

nrma wanted $5k but wouldnt insure anyway

just cars wanted $5k for a gtst !

im 25 , in sydney , rating 1 protected , no at fault claims/accidents , 3 speeding fines 5 points off .

They said the quote will be even less next year when a couple of points go back on my license and I am 26 .

Im pretty stoked first time I can look at a gtr !

Was it confirmed that Response will no longer insure import vehicles, last time I rang (a couple of months ago) there was no issue with insuring imports and they quoted competitivly.

I will ring them myself next week - and give a cofirmation (if one doesn't appear before then)

By the way everyone - I just rang Response again, they DO still insure imported cars - but they have changed underwriters. They quote has jumped from $1040, to $1480. So obviously this new underwriter is not as generous...

But they defintely do imported cars.

The excess of a flat $750 is still the same though.

I'll check with Famous and Just Cars and see what they are currently doing.

I'm just spewing I didn't jump at the $1040 policy a month ago....seems that decision will cost me over $400.

Could have put that money to much better use...

Ah well, you snooze you lose.

Just for some more Info..

Just Cars wanted to charge me $5700.oo for my R33.. Famous said $3200 .... with a $2000 age excess.. BUT, pay by the month ....sweet as :rofl:

I'll be going to them very shortly ;)

Plus I like how they think...

They have a Standard excess, and a different type of excess is a "If you hit a tree" excess.. I think thats awesome :P

Oh Yes.. Anyone In Victoria, can meantion my car club to recieve a discount as I'd worked something out with them.. as I'm the President and all :P

talk to Robyn and meantion the 'Nissan-Mitsubishi Car Club' ...she said she'd handle all quotes for my club personally..

I rang suuncorp/metway about 2 months ago and they quoted me about $980 a year with $1000 excess and no one under 25 aloud to drive, but I didn't get my car until last week so when I rang them up again I was waiting for a big difference in price but I ended up getting comprehensive cover also with a windscreen a year for $1047 still no one under 25 aloud to drive it and it's $1000 excess. I'm a rating 3.

They didn't care about a couple of speeding tickets and I also asked them about mods and I got told as long as I inform them of the mods it's all fine and there not illegal mods. He said they only really worry about the mods if your under 25.

I'm suprised you got insured with Suncorp craz0....

I rang them asking for insurance for an R32 GTSt and they said they would not insure this model at all.

Maybe they are happy to do 33's though.

I'm >28, rating 1, no mods, no speeding tickets, flawless driving record.

Hey ppls

I was wondering about famous' policy cos I read on their site that they do not insure cars parked at shopping centres and train stations, but when I read the actual policy booklet, there is no mention about any kind of parking restrictions (other than that they wont insure the car if it is parked within 500m of your home of residence overnight).

Excuse my stupidity and all that, but I was wondering which should I believe? I reckon if it aint in the policy book, it is fine.

I think the site is a little ambiguous. The policy actually states that it does not cover your car if you park it on the street within 500m of your home, or in any public car park (ie shopping centres, train stations, paddocks, etc) between the hours of 11pm and 8am. I actually like this rule, because it keeps them from having to pay out on idiots leaving their cars parked anywhere thinking "she'll be right, insurance will cover it if it gets stolen" and thus keeps premiums lower.

JimX. Thats exactly what I interpreted that to be as well. I also agree with the sensibility of that clause too if you look at it that way. Cool, at least I can leave my car at the shopping centre during the day to get groceries now knowing that my car is insured haha. :D

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive 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?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
