I can understand why people would want an n-a skyline. theyre nice cars to drive - even without the boost.. but in all honestly if you're trying to keep your insurance down and you want an n-a I 'd look at a bling bling euro. driving experience and pimp factor.

there are a surprising number of s/hand beemers and peugots around at hurter cheap prices.

if you want a jap import with an n-a engine there are some cool cars around - like the infinitys, cedrics, glorias and celsiors.

i managed to get insurance for my GTS.

and im 18.

(drivin almost 2 years or there abouts...)

if u cant find anywhere else, famous classic car will insure anyone as long as u can come up with the cash. (they quoted me $2500 ish for a non turbo)... but i went with western QBE (usually dont insure imports but i had used them as insurance before so they allowed it) and now im paying $1900 a year for a non turbo :D

and thats with a 20 % NCB. cant wait till i get my 30% next year an then more an more!!!

mmm yeh i have an n/a and was paying 2.5k for my first years insurance :D

i doesnt really make much difference turbo or not, as soon as insurance companies hear the word imported they add another grand 2 your insurance :D

it woulda cost me around another grand if i got a turbo

and yer as Pva said being under 25 is seen as a major risk

nah, that's not what I'm saying. everyone gets their cars for different reasons.

I wanted mine for maybe 10-15% pimp factor and 85-90% because theyre great cars with good handling and great bang for buck.

if you take away the turbo, you do take away the bang for buck to an extent. hence if I wanted a car for pure sex appeal i'd probably have a look at some other things. then maybe still go with the line, but who knows.....

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
