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

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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.
