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.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • 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.
