I'm having trouble finding an insurance company that will insure my GTR R34.

I have called AON, Heath Lambert, Famous, SHANNON's, JUST CARS and they can't help. Famous says they don't so cars over $60k...that's rediculous. Can someone clarify this???

I'm 30yr old and have 60% so I don't know why it's so hard.

Please let me know if you know of anyone who have their R34 GTR insured with someone.

My friend had his R32 GTR insured via a group that was underwritten by Heath Lambert. He was the same age and with 60% NCB, and had it insured for agreed value. He had 2 claims with them and said that they were excellent. I will get you the contact details and more info.

Good luck with the insurance...

I would probably sus out how owners of ferrari's & porsche's etc (exotic high performance cars) go about getting insurance becuase i would class a 34 VSPEC in that category...

CLK430 (Value $140K) - RACV $1900 PA

E55 AMG Supercharged V8 (Value $240K) - RACV $1400 - Yes "That's what I said - $1400" she replied "sir we'll send you a check for the difference"... I couldn't believe it!!, but happy to receive the $$$rebate. So exotic performance, I'd consider the E55 as exotic & not the CLK430, but thats the way the insurance coy's see it who cares :D

The R34 GTR are in a league of their own. I didn;t have any problems with Just Cars in Victoria regarding a quote on the R34. Whether that had anything to do with all our current policies with AAMI, I dunno. We also had a GTR R33 insured with Heath Lambert but I'm going back oooohh "1998-99"

I say Swoop, if you worried about the insurance & can't get it... sell it! to me :) - just kidding, any colour except black..

Yes, Heath Lambert is negotiating with another underwriting to do imports again but at the moment, they don't do it.

As for selling my car...black should be the only colour you should buy....make me an offer. hehe.

Have you tried Suncorp Metway?

umm I don't have an R34 GTR (damn shame that) but I'm the same age and NCB as you, and they insured me, reasonable prices and pay-by-the-month too...

although I've heard they're not that keen on imports anymore (current customers excluded :P)...also being in Sydney might be a problem - they insured me in canberra cos it's still considered pretty safe but i'm don't know if they do sydney (they are Brisbane based).

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
