I have been searching around a few insurance company's online & have found that insurance for Imports is WAY DEARER in Aus than here in NZ. :sick: At the moment my current insurance (per quarter) for my R32 GTS-T is $75.69. With an excess of $250... The cheapest I have found in Aus at this stage is $880 per yr, with an excess of $400 :sick::( Is this the Norm for this type of vehicle? Or are there cheaper insurers out there? :sick: Any Help Would Be Appreciated :)

try shannon's insurance also there is a thread in another section about insurance do a search.

But that is quite a cheap quote, over here for an import, bcoz they dont flood the country with tem like in nz, we get arse rapped when it comes to insurance. it will go on your ages, your driving history etc if you are over 25 and have a good driving history then your insurance will be a little cheaper than if u were say 17 and just got you licence.

some people pay upwards of 2000-$3000 a year for insurance on imports, its rediculous really, but its the price u have to pay. wish we had new zealand system for insurance that would be choice bro! :sick:

Its aint NZ bro, that quote sounds pretty good for full comp, im with just car insurance paying $1700 a yr

Yes, but your car is a R34.. Mine is a R32.. I would expect you should be paying more per year to insure that than me for mine.....

http://www.vigilins.com.au they gave me a better deal then shannon and just car insurance and offer quarterly payment

Thanx Lee... I will have a look at them... The $880 quote I got was from "Just Car"... I would of thought a being 34yrs old with a A1 Driving Record + having a Excellent insurance history would of brought it down a bit more?

Hi Daz... I tried looking on Shannon's web site, but they didnt list a 1989 R32 :) The only 1989 Skyline they had listed was a R31 :P There R32's dont seem to kick in untill 1992? The only reason I can think of for this is NZ having imports way before Aus?

I tried to get a quote through vigil and this is what they told me

Sorry, VIGIL does NOT insure drivers under 22 of turbo vehicles

Sorry, VIGIL does NOT insure drivers who have had their licenses cancelled or suspended

which sucks so i guess it aint suitable for some :)

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
