Hey all, just got myself a '92 R32 and have decided not to go with full comp insurance as I'm on my Ps and cant afford the ridiculous fee. I was just wondering if anyone can recommend an insurer for my CTP, as I've heard a few import owners speaking of a number of insurers I hadn't previously come across. So if anyone knows a cheap one, please let me know. Oh and I'm in melbourne.

Shit I just noticed the insurance thread, i'll have a read but if there are any recommendations let me know. Cheers

CTP costs only vary with the number of cylinders, not the type of car so it really only varies by a couple of dollars between insurers.

this is not always true, in relation to a NSW ctp greenslip there is often quite a difference between what different companies offer.

this year one company (AAMI) quoted me $100 less than all others.

go here to get quotes from all companies although some will not recognise imports online (u have to ring them)

Victoria doesnt have a seperate CTP. You pay your rego, and it has the insurance included in it already.

Are you talking about third party insurance? Then places like Just cars and Shannons etc are your best bet. But I'd highly reccommend getting comprehensive insurance. It seems expensive but you get what you pay for.

CTP or greenslip is privatised in NSW. It was introduced (15 years ago??) in an effort to lower the cost of CTP but ultimately has cost alot more and more over the years

Hasnt the price for CTP gone up??

i remember seing an ad by that blue heelers star, sayin greenslip is now covered for young teenagers who are injured, therefore the price is a little stepper..

Or something along those lines..

I got rego due soon as well.. So need to hunt for cheap greenslips.. hmm

that website above has a comparison for most (if not all) companies which offer ctp greenslips, a compulsory thing for rego in nsw.

if you cant afford comprehensive (its piss ass expensive for p'platers, 3.2k for me, plus a 2k excess), i recommend you get ctp and then a 3rd party insurance, such as just cars 3rd party fire and theft, which will cover anyone you crash (i.e fix their car not yours), and will also give you $5000 in the event of a fire or theft.

i remember doing an online quote for an r33 and it turned out to be somewhere around $540

What if you dont purchase CTP at all??

I know it cover you in an event of an accident.

But im talkin about legal issues.

Ie. will you get a fine for not taking it? Or you are unable to drive your car etc etc?? something like that.

u cannot register your car without a ctp green slip.

and as someone else said there is a wide misconception that it covers third party property damage, this is not true, it is only for personal injury and u need to buy third party property damage seperately. that is usually around $600 for a p plater in nsw from justcars.

I didn't know that, I must be thinking of third party insurance as you mentioned. That's the basic one that covers fire and theft and costs around $500 per year right?

i think ctp and 3rd party are around the same price.

dude. CTP IS THRIRD PARTY. That's what it stands for. Compulsory Third Party

I believe what this gentleman is interested in is "Third Party Property, Fire and Theft". Which is NOT CTP. Third party property covers the damage you cause to someone elses property, and will pay you out $5000 in the case of your car being claimed by fire, or stolen. Personally I think it's a waste of money. The payout is very small compared to the premium. Far better to just bite the bullet and pay for Comprehensive insurance.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 馃槀 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
