Insurance costs


Recommended Posts

Are RAC insuring Skyline turbos again?

They decided not to and when I enquired with their management they said it was due to the difficulty of getting parts.

I put them onto my contact at Northside Nissan to prove there was no problem.Must've convinced them

My 34 costs $1050 through Shannons but then I'm an old bastard with max NCB

Cheers

Yeh i thought the same:confused:

I tried rac and they told me to go jump due to the fact i have a 91TT supra and i am only 21.

I ended up going for a broker called harrintons: 9388 1299 and they did mine through SGIO for 2400 but unfortunately icant pay it in increments has to be all up front cause of the broker.

Hey Guys,

I am with the RAC .... I am paying just over $1200 a year to insure my 95 GTST... Oh yeah and I am 23.

I am pretty happy with it considering SGIO was charging me $1200 a year to insure my VL Commodore.... Which is for sale if anyone is curious :uh-huh:

Now that I got my shameless plug out the way.... Back to browsing the forums.... Hey at least Ianswered the thread question :D

Its all about the number of turbos, if you say TT then you get screwed. This is what happened when i was looking at cars, and RAC wont even insure my dad for a Z, he had to go shannons.

They think more turbos = more power which i spose is usually the case, but if you said i have a 800cc suzuki mighty boy twin turbo they still would knock you back...

Wouldnt that be an interesting car...

Heya Guys,

Yeah I am one of those RAC groupies aswell! I am 23 (as of two weeks ago) insured my 95 GTST for $24,000 and am paying $1400. I did enquire with RAC the 300ZX twin turbo (what was i thinking! ahah) and they said they wouldn't insure me due to twin turbo's and i would have to wait till i turned 25! so looks i am going to have to tell my dealer in Japan not to ship over my brand new R34 GTR for a couple of years!...... AHAHAAHAHA!!! YEAH RIGHT!! I WISH!

as R34 said Shannons are a good import enthusiast company for turbo lovers such as us, you do pay a bit more but i would rather pay a bit more for that extra piece of mind! i have heard they will insure nearly all cars...at a price...

P.S my friend smashed his black 300ZX just out of northbridge under the tunnel (near omni) and he had NO insurance!

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
