The point of this thread is not to just ask why am I not getting this price, it is so people can find out where they can get insurance from. Not all companies will insure the GTR, and not all of the companies have it on their books yet.

This is more of a resource so people know who to request quotes from.

Shannons originally told me they would not insure the car for business use, however after a repsonse in this thread I pushed them a little more and they are getting a quote for me this morning.

The point of the excerise is to find out who will insure the GTR, not so much prices, because you are right, that will vary.

Cheers

I am rating 1 protected with porsche precision driving courses under my belt now (I can hear the jokes coming already) and have quotes from Shannons of $3900/yr with $1900 excess as a daily driver garaged in a good suburb in Brisbane, similar with others. What conditions have you got that has ensured the price reduction do you think? low usage? multiple vehicles with same company? Negotiated with the vendor?

well the key differences affecting price will be:

age of youngest driver

recent claims and driving history

usage (low kms get a decent discount)

how many cars you currently have insured with them.

I currently pay a fair bit less than $3900 but I have:

good driving record.

no at fault claims

a number of other vehicles insured with shannons

garaged in a secure garage and in a low risk suburb

super low usage

youngest driver over 25

that all helps.

good driving record

no claims or infringements last 5 years

no at fault claims

no claims last 5 years

a number of other vehicles insured with shannons

nil so lose out there but not by $1000's, I suspect this will get you 10% off

garaged in a secure garage and in a low risk suburb

low risk suburb and enclosed in secure garage

super low usage

average about 8000k/year, might be the problem, not sure what super low is though this isn't super high either

youngest driver over 25

youngest driver 34.

I will call the manager there to discuss to see if they can do better, will see. I have never insured with them before either though

Also approaching nissan but not holding my breath.

Thanks for the help

yep, my usage is well under 5,000kms a year, and i've been a customer for a number of years. you are probably right, multi car discount would not be huge, but probably the usage and the number of years, coupled with the number of cars would mean the difference. :)

I still think your quote is not too bad, but I imagine if you took it out it would improve by more than $1000 next year.

thanks Baron, agree must be the usage and previous history with them.

tried, suncorp after someones suggestion, came in at 2600 daily driver (3000 with rental car and windscreen replacement option) 1700 excess. looking the best right now

FWIW the Nissan dealership was organising insurance for their customers and my quote came out to be about $5.5k (i think through Allianz) whereas Shannons are at $2.1k - so worth shopping around guys.

Hi guys, why not trying with other major insurance company. I was quoted by AAMI for private used, no finance, rating 1 with multi policies discount as followed:

Excess Premium

$500 $2845

$1050 $2418

$1550 $2134

$2050 $1423 (this looks like a pretty good deal to me)

funny how variable they can all be! had different quotes from same company 2 days running when i lost the quote number from day 1. happy to say the second quote was better

thanks npr35, I finally went with AAMI

rental car, 1 windscreen replacement per annum

Single vehicle insured (no multivehicle discount), financed

Agreed value including 12k of HRE 590R wheels with some crazy dish....... kept stockies for dreams of track days when i get a chance.

34 yo, rating 1 protected, wilston brisbane, private use, no km restriction

$2050 excess $1561 premium

$1550 excess $2169 premium -----> went with this one in the end

$1050 excess $2600 premium

$550 excess $3008 premium

Picking up car in 21 hrs and 40 minutes, not that I am counting or anything......

EDIT TO LIST:

Shannons

www.Shannons.com.au

They will insure for business use, they have light and heavy business. They have to get their quotes done by their manager for this, however from what I am seeing they seem to be very cost effective and give a 10% discount if you have a CAMS license.

Hi Gibbo:

just wondering how u can insure with Shannons? last time i got rejected as they say they only insure club members?

BTW my insurance with Suncorp is $2600 with rating one protection and windscreen covers

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
