Hi Fellas and Femmes,

This is my first post on this forum and all I seek is the knowledge of who does the right deal for insurance in this great state. I am just about to take the dip and purchase an R34 GTT so I'm gonna need something to keep me covered. I'm an OTH (over the hill - over 30) convert to Skylines - been a Vtec man for quite a while now and it just feels the right time to do it. I have a lifetime rating 1 at present and live in area of relatively little car theft. Has anyone got any ideas on who to use.

Cheers

Try Famous Car Insurace (theres a thread in general discussion, i think its a "sticky" thread)

They sponsor the NSW branch of the club.

For my R31 non turbo thats worth 7k MAXIMUM the best quote I can get is 1200 with about 1k excess. Being old has its benefits!

Yep $882.oo was full Comprehensive including a windscreen a year. Is the 97 200 SX imported or a locally (Nissan) sold car. Which makes me think ...... Has anyone ever tried to explain to an insurance company that a huge percentage of cars available in Oz are actually fully imported and why should there be a premium placed on Skylines or do Supras' and other suffer the same closed mind mentality. Just wondering...

I'm rating 1 & 27yo but gf is rating 2 & 24yo. IMO Suncorp are thieves they charge you more if you want to pay monthly something CGU do not, plus because its thru Wesfarmers Dalgety, Wesfarmers pay my insurance for me then invoice me for it so i Can't forget to pay it, plus the extra 30days you get to pay for it!

These people genuinely show you they want your business by actually looking after you.

I'm with Suncorp, which was one of about 3 I could find that would touch an inport with mods. Premium is sub $700 (can't remember the exact figure) for full comp, and have mags, exhaust, suspension and stereo all listed on the policy. No one else came close to that for rating 1 over 25 when I was looking in late Jan this year.

That's very interesting. I immediately jumped on the phone to Suncorp and the very best they will do for me on an R34GTT is $1380.00. I am well on the wrong side of 30 (better make that 40), no accidents in the last 20 years, one claim in my total driving history (no fault), no speeding offences in the last 10 years and no mods on the car (yet). So your sub $700 is an extremely good price. Good luck with them.

Muz, who did you go with? I tried quotes for an R34GTT about 3months ago. Couldn't get anywhere near the $700 that these guys talk about. Approx $1300 was about what I got quoted. ?Unfortunately I didn't end up with the car!!!! I'll be looking for an R34 again in a few months!

Pearman,

I just signed up with Shannons for $803.65 which was the very best I could get. No mods as yet but they tell me if I mod it with an exhaust system and FMIC it jump to over $1000.00 so I would really like to know who these guys are talking to at Suncorp so I can get in on the action.

I am with Suncorp, they were the cheapest I could find and I am up near the $1300 per year with no mods listed on the policy yet. When I re-register the mini it will be going with shannons and then I can insure the skyline with them. Last time I spoke with them they only did older cars but said they would do another newer car if you had an older car insured with them already. Have they changed their policy since I spoke with them last?

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
