I just got a quote for $2300 full comp for myself from just car insurance on a 1993 non-turbo r33. No mods. I get my license in March but on the insurance quote i wrote that i just got it in early january. So what i'm asking is, Any p platers got a decent insurance quote yet? How much do you pay and who are you with, how long you had your license? Cheers all.

$1800 with just car, a few mods (intercooler, turbo back exhaust, ect....) but i'm in a 1996 r33 gts-t... i'm on green p's but im 22 (got my lisence before the turbo laws came in). Insurance depends mainly on age, car and how long you have your lisence without a claim.

Personally i wouldn't pay that much insurance for a non turbo let alone a series one non turbo line. But if you really want a skyline and you can afford it + a few extra $grand incase something goes wrong on it, then get it!!!!!

I'm thinking of going the third party fire and theft option because paying 2g a year for insurance on a car which i paid 7g for just isn't worth it!

is that price with base excess?

Yes but if you change the excess, since the car is only worth 7g it still doesnt add up. Thinking of going third party fire and theft and building up a no-claim + good driving then switching to full comp when it's more affordable for me (student).

$2300 for comprehensive sounds realistic. try a quote from famous insurance as well (wont be much difference) but their payment options and slightly lower excess (in my experience) may be the better option.

Yeah it's still $2300

1996 R33 GTR,I have a heap of stuff with the same broker and pay $560 dollars for full comp a year

How old are you if you don't mind me asking? You surely built up a no-claim discount and have your house and all that with the broker yeah? (like you said)

my parents bought me my car for my bday. i know lucky right. well if i was to get it insured in my name i would be paying around $2000 +. however in my mums name she gets some ridiculous figure like 60% off as she has everything insured with them and has been a member for like 25 years. so she will end up paying like $1000 for my car for full insurance, allowing other drivers who drive my car to be covered also. she uses RAC.

doubt it, most if not all insurance now only care about the youngest driver. They have caught on to that trick. Theres only a couple of insurance companies that cover under 25year old drivers for turbo'd lines, and most insurance companies still don't want to play around with import cars. The only way you are likely to drive the car legally insured is in an emergency, trust me try to proove that your driving the car for an emergency to an insurance company... very dificult thing to do.

- New Zealand -

26 yr old male driver, no claims or accidents so far.

(had license since age 15)

1996 Stagea RS FOUR V w/ 155km, intercooler, dynatron alarm

State Insurance, Full coverage, including glass (I got a new windscreen free!!)

NZD $822.84 a year, I pay monthly $68.57

I have coverage for my younger friend (he's 24,) it only changes the excess from $300 to $1000 when he's driving.

~$665 AUD

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
