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?

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
