I Just rang Suncorp Metway for a quote for my soon to be R33 GTST and I got Quoted for full cover $961 a year :uh-huh:

The guy on the phone couldn't believe it himself he said he has never seen a quote for a import Skyline that low he had to go and check with his supervisor to make sure it was correct.

It's bloody cheaper then my 323 SP20:(

It aint easy being under 25 with a sports car. Id rather take my chances with third party fire and theft than pay 4 grand a year. You only live once and you havent lived till youve owned a skyline :D How corny is that haha

yep, I would never not have comprehensive...especially since I have had a personal loan for every car i've owned and my parents always said to me "just think what it would be like - still having to pay back that loan, but with no car" :D

I totally agree, forget different days, just ring straight back and speak to someone else. The price can vary by $1000.

to be completely honest, i think its up to the individual if they want to comprehensively insure their car, ...

i really get annoyed when people say, oh if you can afford the insurance then you cant afford the car, yes you can, you have the car,

i recently got a quote for 8600 a year, from NRMA, with my r32 gtst being worth around 16000(i put that in as agreed value)

now if anyone here would pay that, then you deserve to be shot...

Prank, i can understand paying that amount for a gtr.. its worth atleast twice my gtst... and i would be more then happy at paying half of what you do to insure my car..

i just had a nice think about it, now...

last year as most of you know i went through a barbed wire fence...

now, lets say i wasnt insured.. it would have cost about 7800 all up, including me changing the front bar, and color which didnt need to be done,

now people might say, i didnt damage much, but remember 90% of the car had to be resprayed because of the barbed wire..

so if i had that same crash, and same cost this year, and didnt have insurance, i have saved 800, on the premium, dont forget the excess which is 800 aswell..

now, the way i think of it best is to sorta insure yourself.. have a look at the premiums, and simply save that much over the year, or as quick as you can, and put in it an invester account, which you can access if need be, but it earns more money, and then same thing next year... but once you have the valued amount of your car, no more doing it. because a) your money will grow untill you take the money out.. and B) the worst you could do is right it off, costing you the amount you have saved...

paying half the cost of the car to insurance company is ludachrist.

Are you asking me PranK? If so mine is stock at the moment. But they never asked me for any extras or mods.

I did ring Suncorp Metway a couple of days earlier and they Quoted me about $940 a year, but he did tell me that it could change, I got the quote number of him so I have about a week to act on the $961 Quote.

I also asked them if a alarm would make a difference in price but he said that it wouldn't make a difference.

I'll have to ring them again to see how they are about mods and how much more they would charge.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
