Looked every where and can't find insurance at a reasonable price, insuring a r33 gts N/A skyline under parents name. SGIO said they would then realised they made a mistake lucky i rung them before i bought the car as i was going to get it the next day. Looking for insurance at 1000 or below. Famous and others are offering rediculous prices. Anyone know of insurance companies that might fit the description on todays current insurance policies.

hey i know how you feel, i went through the same thing when i recently got my r33 N/A

If you want full comp insurance give up because you won't fine it, unless your willing to fork out like 4 grand.

Third party fire and theft (just drive carefully :D )

I have my insurance coverage at that for somthing like 600, me thinks i am rating 6

i am with just cars insurance, apparently RACV and AAMI won't accept the car under your parents name, meaning if you drive and you have an accident its not covered. thats what i have heard. well hope it helps

Yea as foshan said. I got quoted about $1700-1800 fully comp and under my name. I'm 21 by the way with $250 bucks worth of fine and 3 points off my license. So i'd image it would be cheaper if its under ur dad's name.

So give HBF a try, they're the cheapest i've found so far.

Good luck!

Thanks for all the comments but i don't know if you noticed but todays current insurance policies including hbf etc don't insure grey cars anymore, it is possible however if you already have an import insured mas i tried to get my brother to insure it for me as he had a soarer insured through them but they wouldn't do it for me because i was under 25 as a designated driver. I wouldn't pay anymore than a grand for a na skyline anymore and its not worth it for me.

pat_au: im in perth and im paying 2500 with HBF for full comp since may this yr.

still doin fine and maybe u might have heard wrong cause if im not mistaken, they only dont insure under 21's for turbo's.

N/a's whether import or not shd be fine. Especially a skyline seeing the parts are floating everywhere at bloody low prices and shd nethin happen, theyd pick up the parts for much less than getting em for a brand new Maxima or X-trail.

anyways, if not, fire and theft might be a consideration...

driving a skyline makes the worry of not having insurance worth it.. hahahah

:P

imho that is

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
