Yeah, as infamous_t said, there's no fixed rates. Depends on the exact type of skyline, mods, your licence (how long you've had it & any fines & previous accidents, etc), your age, and a bunch of other stuff.

I was quoted $2,000 just to insure mums magna for me to drive it lol. $2,600 for my car, so needless to say I'm not going to bother with fully comp, silly POS isn't even worth that lol.

I'm paying $6?? for a R33 gtst (can't b bothered to find the paperwork :thumbsup: ) 1995 at market value, just over $1000 for a R34 GTT 1998 at market value, both full comp. My excess is $400. i'm 26 with a clean licence. Insurance is through WesFarmers in WA. Also, my insurance covers anyone else to drive our cars. The only thing that changes is the excess, goes up a couple of hundred i think depending on the drivers ago and how long they had their licence.

I told them about all mods, rims are also insured but only cost about $50 or less to add

Hope this helps :banana:

Def shop around, we chose WesFarmers cause we have our house and business insurance with them, they were the only reasonable company to do our business insurance,, everone else wanted crazy amounts or didn't want to know, i had a few strange requests for the business insurance.

the cost of insurance you are charged will depend on a rating that you are given by insurance companies when they are conducting a quote.

the rating is determined on;

- your age

- your driving experience

- if you have any criminal offences

- if you have made any insurance claims in the past

- how long you have held insurance for in the past

your rating and the specifications / age / modifications / what suburb your car is parked in, will determine how much you will pay per year

Even though just car are seemingly expensive (my car was $2400 full comprehensive per year with a 33gtst - was 19 at the time) they are probably the best one for imported cars if you are under 25 years old.

I have heard that shannons are very good however they do not insure anyone under the age of 25.

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
