Hi,

So I bought my Skyline about a year ago, as a bit of a project because it was pretty beaten up, and as such I got it pretty cheap. My insurance has been really good so far except that they just insured it at what I paid for it, and not a market value.

Having spent a year fixing it and spending money on it, I wanted to increase the value on my insurance to it's normal market value, or something similar, but I need to get an evaluation apparently. I'm not entirely sure about how to go about this?

Does anybody here have any suggestions as far as getting it evaulated?

NB: I'm not interested in anybody's gung-ho "f*k InSuRanCeZ mAn U dUn NeEd ThAt ShIz" ideas.

Cheers,

Mods: Sorry if this has been covered, couldn't find anything searching.

Hi Tim

You need to go to a dealer to get a valuation from them and some dealers will charge you for it as well.

If you know a dealer (preferably one that sells Skylines) then maybe they can help you.

If you know anyone at C-Red then they may be able to help as last time I checked they had a Dealers License.

Hope this helps

Cheers,

Thanks Rod, I'll be looking into that when I get home. Just out of curiosity, what do people think the market value actually is? I saw a completely stock 33 [i think this was actually less than had come out of the factory, had lots removed] for for 15k a few months ago.

Thanks for the help

The ol' "mildly modified 33"? Reasonably good nick.

Was more interested in the market value that insurance companies will be going with like Kaido is talking about.

I renew my insurance in in dec 09 and Just Car had the market value of my r33 gts-t S1 1993 at $11,000 :P

Any luck with this Tim? I am wanting to do the same thing, i am with JustCars as well and they will only insure my car to $10000 :/

But after i do the engine swap then i will want more cover than that. What other companies insure gray imports? Shannons won't insure me because im under 25

When I swapped my insurance from just cars to sgio they said they could do it at market value which was 10k or what I paid for it which was 8.5k, so mine is insured for 10k even though they know i payed 8.5k for it over 6 months ago. This was for third party fire+theft btw

My car was insured with JC for $2k (car value $10k), when I came to renew the policy early this year I used their website thing & added some of the extra mods I did to the car (exhaust, POD, SAFC 2, intercooler & boost controller) they upped my car's insured amount from $10k to $11.7k & didn't change my premium? Are they actually being generous or their computer software must be bugged?

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
