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?

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
