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!

Welcome to the fray Muz.

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?

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
