hey,

im finding it difficult to find someone that will insure me.. i want pay by the month..

i own a 32 gtr and im 23, never had a claim,

shannons wont insure me because i havent had my car for a year, and for this type of vehicle they require you to have owned this one or another the same for atleast 12mths.

just cars wont because unless you have been with them for 12mths they wont do pay by the month..

anyone had this problem and anyone have anywhere worth trying..

Shannon's, and Just Car are probably your only options.

I doubt being 23, owning a GTR for under a year, and wanting to pay by the month is going to get you anywhere with any other insurer.

I say you get a personal loan, so you don't have to resort to paying by the month, which you stated Just Car would not do unless you have been with them for 12 months,... so if you are able to qualify for a loan, this should solve the problem, and maybe even give you extra funds to put into the engine bay... :/

Its the one below fire and theft. Any damage to any 3rd party is paid for

I.e. u hit them, pays for their car and anything else u've hit but not yours

I wouldnt bother with anything else, even being over 25 im looking at 1200 a year on a clean record

Thats 1200$ per year on go fast bits - and hey if u crash, u should of saved enough to buy a shell and swap it all back over

Whats wrong ith paying by the year???

One might ask is it worth it if you cant afford to pay by the year?

I mean R32 GTRs are well known money pits, if you cant afford the whole years insurance then how do you plan on driving a GTR???

PS. Whats the quote like, mine was $1000 per annum with justcar for agreed value when i was 23 with no claims.

I would have pointed you to Ryno insurance whom I'm currently with at the moment, pay by the mth no extra charges...but I just received a letter today saying due to a chg in policy, they will no longer be able to offer me a renewal when mine expires next mth...they are now specialising in classics and luxury cars only...

Just cars is ur best bet....

Give Lumley Specialised Vehicles (LSV) a call. I've had my skyline insured with them since i bought it, before i turned 25. They were really helpful for me in trying to get the best (cheapest) possible premium. My excess is only $500 (+ age when i was under 25) and i get my choice of repairer. After watching my bf go through hell with AAMI (who underwrites Just Car), with their so called "recommended/guaranteed repairer", that is very important to me now. When i joined they were called Unique Car and were then Vigil Underwriting. I've also got my daily driver and my bf's car insured under the same joint policy to get multi vehicle discount. They do not have pay by the month, but they do quarterly payments for no extra cost.

Their number is 1800 651 014, but they're only open in business hours.

(no i do not work for them, but they have been the most helpful insurer so far, so i'm more than happy to recommend them).

theres a company called Fortis insurnace that used to insure anyone with imports.. give em a go.. also suncorp insures skylines to just for your info :P even offer pretty good value for money

Suncorp were decent for premium, just sting the a$$ out of you for excesses... you will find that most major insurer's won't touch imports, there's a couple that will with next to no mods. You could also try insurance brokers who should be able to find a few places for you and give you options....

Alternatively, call the insurance ombudsman and tell them the trouble you are having and noone being able to help you and they might help you with companies that can...

Anyone had any experience with famous car insurance?

Im due for renewal on my r33 gts25t and its coming down to:

1. Just cars $950 upfront or $1200 pay by the month, crash/damage excess $1900, theft excess $2900! Thats nearly $4000 i will pay them in a year if my $12 000 car gets stolen, bit rich.

2. Famous car insurance, $1150 pay by the month total, $500 acco excess, no additional theft.

3. Shannons - $1250 pay by the month, dunno about excesses but they do have glass cover in there too e.g. a free windscreen/year.

Im thinking of being cheap and taking the pay by the month option only because im heading over seas soon and the cash in the pocket would be very handy in the immediate future.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
