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!

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
