Hey all,

I'm planning on getting a r34 Gtt around June but i have an insurance question.

I'll be 21 when i get the car and i live in Canberra.

My problem is this...

In november last year i had a small micro sleep due to stress of exams while i was driving and crashed my car into the side railing. Nothing serious but the damage was more than the car was insured for (it was just a Hyundai Lantra 95 model). The insurance was under NRMA and was handled by my parents but it is recorded that I was the one that caused the accident.

Now how much of a problem does this pose for me? I'm assuming this would need to be declared right? I'm thinking Just Car.

Your Premium being 21 is going to be huge, its turbo and you have had an accident and its am import as well. I would expect no less then $3000 a year for full comp on a GTT. Justcar would be the way to go. I am 22 and justcar was the only company that would insure my gtst and it was $1900 but i had never had an accident.

I would just ring around its free to get a quote

I've just insured my R34 GT-V with Shannons I'm 49 & it cost me just over a $1000 (twice my commodore's premium), you can pay by the month with Shannons & it doesn't cost any more. NRMA was about $1200 or $1300 to pay by the month Shannons was cheaper than Just Car.

ok i just gave them a call and they said i'm looking at $2900. Which is better than i was expecting.

Not declaring the accident would be illegal right?

it would be f**king stupid... might as well just burn the $2900 and drive round uninsured

    • Yeah I spent close to a year finding one. I was even tempted to buy a RB25DE N/A head and port it out. That latter option, could still be an option.
    • My head recently blew up on the dyno, been trying to find a replacement for the last 3 months with no luck.  Does anyone know where I might be able to find one? Willing to chase down any leads at this point  Cheers 
    • Waiting for a queue of Supras to get out of the way. Then the same conversion work to the box which was probably bought about the same day as you bought yours, by the sound of it. And hopefuly with enough Supras out of the way we'll finally get to do the box into the car along with the injectors and AFM so that the last 18 months of driving a highflow nearly NA can finally come to an end.
    • That was a long winded way to say yes....
    • Got my R34 gearbox around 4-5 weeks ago. Came into some extra $$ recently and after I cleaned the mess off the notes, I thought, might as well buy that R34 box I've been pondering.  In that time I've pulled the engine out, replaced rod and mains bearings, done a few other engine things that are much easier with the engina out eg PRP oil pump upgrade, replacing wastegate coolant lines, installing Turbosmartass turbo oil pressure reg, made some mounting brackets for some of my mods that are "hard to reach", converted the R34 box to R33, put the engine and new gearbox back in the car. Plus cleaning ...Oh my god so much cleaning when doing such a project. Yep I'm a busy bee, buzz buzz. As part of the gearbox project, researched posts and found this thread (In which i nailed it for the OP), hence the post here # logical thinking.. Not all about you old boy, SOrrryyy. Dare I ask,  how's yours going ,> Or you got it done yet, and if so why didn't you post any of the tips I posted to help other members? ???
