I think NSW, along with most states, don't let P plate drivers drive cars with over 200kw.

saw this list too, didn't have the 350gt in it. the 2009 updated list on the other hand....

Hello, :/

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??

Hey guys I have a v36 350gt insured with AI insurance full comp plus gold club membership for 900 very cheap compared to shonnons who quoted me 2900 and just car 2400 my Skyline is a 2007 model hope this helps

Only one problem with AI, no own choice of repairer. They have a list of 1000 repairers, according to their FAQ, for the customer to choose from.

No thanks. I'm paying Shannons $2700 a year for my '09 V36 coupe ($55k agreed value) and that's good peace of mind for me.

I used to be with AI insurance and I could choose any repairer.

Their price was good, but NRMA offered better price :)

The only issue I had with AI was the time it took them to process a dispute that I had with a repairer. The repairer did a poor job with clear coat and it took AI about 4-5 months to follow it up... Very frustrating.

But when the initial accident occurred they were fast :)

Hope it helps!

I can choose any repairer have done so with my previous car and specified this when insuraning my new car

Well i feel like someone just stuck a rubber fist up my anouse after i just got my renewal papers from NRMA, so the cost is $1580, the car is insured for $18,700, $800 excess. Now last year when i was 22 and 1st got the insurace i paid $1600 and the car was insured for $22k with same excess with no multi policy discounts and this year im getting a $220 multi discount cauz i now that the green slip with NRMA also.

I think insurance has gone up across the board.. the insurance for my wife's J31 Maxima jumped from $400 last year to just over $600 this year.. we haven't had any claims or accidents. I rang and complained and they dropped it to about $550..

Insurance doesn't normally get cheaper because the insured value is lower..

I am a little scared about my up-coming home insurance renewal..

I rang just cars they wanted $1600. Called NRMA got it for $1200. I know alot of places won't insure under 25 especially when they here import like it's a dirty word! Anyway my car is registered in my name and insurance is joint (my partner and I) but they were going to insure it with just his name on it even though car is registered to me. Didn't know that you could do that. Plus my partner has had is lic suspended in the past.

My insurance went from $988 to $1819 so WTF .... and value went down 2,300 ....

just car is 1248, nrma beat by 10% with windscreen cover @ rating 1, 1 at fault, 26yrs, licence since 18, no bad record $1,123 with value at $30,700

will do bit more shopping around

  • 2 weeks later...

so just got my renewal papers from just car.

last year's was:

12 months: $1,011

agreed value: $31,500

got quite a shock when i looked at this years agreed value

12 months: $962

agreed value: $25,200

trying to figure out how the agreed value dropped so much, makes my head hurt pinch.gif

When i was with HBF they had a 20% drop in value every year for all imports. Was just their standard policy and I had to provide an independant valuation to get the agreed value increased.

    • 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       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
