yeh here in vic all the CTP stuff is incorporated in our yearly rego fee.

what u want is 3rd party/property insurance (some have a fire and theft option, usually up for $5000 damage, for an extra fee)

driving an import and being on your p's your best bet in vic would be to look at just cars (www.justcarinsurance.com.au)

enjoy

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

they're both "third party" CTP - compulsory third party. the other one is "Third Party Fire and Theft".

i was talking about both (id say ctp for greenslip as it removes the confusion)

CTP-covers damage to other persons

THIRD PARTY- covers damage to other's property (just car also have a fire and theft OPTION, which costs a little more)

considering your on your p's (as i am now, greens though). i did an online quote for THIRD PARTY FIRE and THEFT, and it turned out to be 565 for a 17k r33 series 2. no mods

for me, ctp greenslip is about 500 as well.

In NSW, a CTP greenslip is compulsory for vehicle registration, i guess its not compulsory in other states.

If you weigh up the pros and cons, having comprehensive insurance means that in 3 years time youd be able to buy another car already. however in the event where you do stuff up, then you have the added benefit of getting all your money back (if you add mods, and dont tell the insurance company, they WONT reimburse you, also your premium will go up). add to that a $2000 excess for a male under 25 driver with a performance car (this is all for just cars). and youll be paying $5000 a year if you make a claim.

your premium will also go up if you make a claim.

Comprehensive insurance is often not worth it for p platers.

My son bought a r32gtst for $10k

He priced comprehensive and best price was $3200 premium +$1000 basic excess + $1000 under 25 excess + $750 inexperienced driver excess so he decided against it.

After having his car on the road 14 months he had a crash which could have been considered a write off.

Everyone told him you should have been insured so he did the sums.

1st year premium 3200

2nd year premium (10%ncb) 2880

basic excess 1000

under25 excess 1000

inexperienced excess 750

Total insurance cost $8830

Also the insurance company would have kept the wreck which he could sell for at least $2500

In this case he is $1330 better off by not being insured.

Cheapest CTP...AAMI is pretty good. i'm 22 and was quoted 560 last year.. they're all pretty much the same.

For thrid party prop plus 5k fire & theft... i went with justcar for 548 but they've jacked up the price 100 this year to 648.

Wow which insurance company charges excess for inexperienced driver?? Thats insane..

I can't remember which company it was but the other companies charge it anyway and call it under 18 driver excess or whatever either way the excesses total nearly $3000 for an 18yo driver.

  • 2 months later...

hey Jon,

I cannot get that price on the MAA website and also on AAMI website -substituting a 200SX as there's no skyline (couldnt be bothered to ring them), I get $693 from both websites - the MAA website I can list the R34GTT Skyline as an option.

Cheapest for me is QBE at $516.

How did you get $375? Thats impossible mate, can you please put up your website quote from the insurer here?

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
