I just recently got insurance for my R33.. dam that was a mission & a half! I got my car from SA so seeing as no one in WA would even touch me (19y/o) I went throu SA - Classic Cars (which is based in WA) but turned out cheaper for me to go thou SA.

96 R33 turbo

insured for $32k

I pay $3580 per year

OUCH!

Yeah course mine is turbo!1996 Nissan 200sx..has boost switch and all...definately flys.

I'm with Elders Insurance in Adelaide. They have even put me on Rating 1! so happy. Have never crashed, but have never had insurance in my name. Previous Lancer was in my mums, and i was noted as a driver. Who are u with? Just cars is the usual company most people go for! but they quoted me $2600..stuff that.

The company i'm with als o let me pay monthly. Gotta shop around dude. goodluck tho hey...shaz

They'll only let you insure upto the maximum redbook value.... and there's that many lancers with kits around (hint hint), as long as you tell them, it'll be fine :D

    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
