Not too sure about Lumley's; I think they are trying to rort me - I am insuring a 350GT sedan for $26,000, I am 29, living in Sydney, storing a car in my garage and have a perfect driving history and they want $1,693. Mellowman - you must have a real sexy voice or something!

Did some ringing around today. My details are 36 years old, in Townsville, no claims or negatives bar 1 <15km/h speeding ticket in the last 5 years. Insuring 2003 V35 coupe premium auto with factory optioned wheels, frontbar + fogs, momo steering wheel, rear spoiler agreed value $32000.

Lumley = $926 with $1kxs, $811 with $1500xs

Famous = $966 with set $600xs - no option to reduce premium by increasing xs. (These guys were cheapest with my R33gtst with plenty of mods at $825)

Suncorp = $800 with $1050 flexible xs. Not that I'd go with them after the way they recently treated a friends claim. Also was quite amusing that they had no record of the V35 coming in any option but manual or CVT - not confidence inspiring!

Shannons - wouldn't cover me as I don't have a lockup garage.

NRMA = $1483 with $500xs

Just Cars = $965 with $400xs down to $579 with $1500xs.

Hoping to not jinx myself but as I've had no claims ever I'm happy to take the higher excess and cheaper premium option with Just Cars. I feel for you guys in Sydney!

Just Car, hi risk Melb Suburb (near st albans), garaged, 35yo rating 1 with very high agreed value $38k which should well cover all the nav & alarm stuffs / mods i'm putting into the car. 03' v35 coupe auto. Single driver only, no blemish driving history - $997/yr with $500 excess or $960 / yr with $1000 excess and rating 1 protection.

Hello, :ermm:

My name is John from Sydney and I am a new to this thread.

I'm planning to buy a 350GT in any time soon...(will post a pic soooooonnnnnnnnn~~)

Just a quickie:

Who provides your insurance and how much are you paying??

11

When I got my first Nssan Skyline 350 GT8 abut 18 months ago it was $1350 p/year Just Cars

My lastest Nissan Skyline 350GT Coupe 6 speed was$850 p/year just cars

Good luck you will have fun

for those of you in queensland and about to get rego - if you can get a quote from someone that nrma can't match, nrma will pay you $50 under their quick 50 campaign (not sure when this promo ends though). just fax the quote to 1 300 364 238, attention to Resolution Quick 50. it's not just for the v35 either, as long as the vehicle is garaged in queensland.

i guess if you want details, you can call 1 800 640 595 (nrma quick 50 section). hope someone can get money from them.

Ok wow - Business or private insurance?

My V35 Premium with 100% stock everything with a value placed against it of only $30,000 is going to cost me $1034 Internet deal or $1084 phone deal, My suburb must suck compared to yours!!!

$400 excess $900 theft excess...

No free windscreen offer though!

I am 33 going on 34 with rating 1. Shannons after 11 years of Insurance refuse to insure this car for me as I do not have a lock up garage :P

As mentioned Just Cars requires an Australian standard Immobilser - My V35 Premium has a little sticker on the drivers side window / triangle showing a key through an engine with "SECURITY" written under it.

Question 1: does this equal an immobilser? (definitely not an alarm)

Question 2: Does this comply to insurance requirements for Oz standard?

Does anyone know if just cars gets cheaper with 2 or more cars insured on the one contract? Shannons did! :kiss:

Yes it is an imobiliser.

No it doesn't count.

Grab an alarm anyways, for peace of mind! The Autowatch 446P that Chris fitted me seems to get a good rap.

Digging up an old thread here but this was really helpful to me when I was researching insurance so i thought it only fair to share my experiences also...

25yo male with perfect driving record, garaged in Belmont WA, manual, coupe 350GT insured for $36K paying $1040 with Lumleys and excess of $500.

As a comparison my 33 insured for $17K was $1160... amazing that this car is more than double the value but is cheaper, different ownership demographic I guess.

another tip, the agreed value r set in price brackets... say if u insure it btw 36k and 40k, its set to a price level :), u'll prob find that if u increase ur agreed value to 40k, ur premium won't change :)

An update on Lumleys (LSV Insurance formerly Torque Insurance)

Spoke to them yesterday about a V35 I am about to pick up changing over from my Stagea (currently insured with LSV)

I was told that they no longer insure daily drivers and are reverting back to classic, vintage cars only that are driven once or twice a week.

They are honouring existing customers but not taking new customers or insuring a different car for an existing customer

So now the hunt for a new insurer begins and delays me getting into the V35

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
