Buying an r32 gts-t

Financing it so I need (and want) comprehensive insurance.

Rang my normal broker who is a friend and he can't touch it.

Im over 25 but being an import and turbothey just don't touch it.

Who do u guys use, just car? Shannons? Am I going to get bent over? Is it a head f**k?

What can I expect to pay and how to car values go with imports?

Thanks for all your help.

I insurance both my cars under just car. I'm 24, paid about $1200 for the year for the gts-t. Insured for about 12000.

Edit: that's for a r33 gts-t

yeah it all relies on driving record, etc etc.

i got both the liner and missus Beetle thru shannons for 1300 a year. (shannons is owned by suncorp)

expect these numbers man, its HIGH risk vehicle!!!

and if you've lost your liscence and been a silly bugger expect alot more.

cheapest i had on the liner was thru suncorp for 770 a year, but that was market value with a silly excess.

+1 Shannons, great price, policy, and customer service.

definately.

hahaha, u ready to cry people?

Thru Shannons it costs me $550 a year to comprehensively insure my modded to the mother, HKS turboed, R33 GTST (n they know about the mods). (insured for 14k)

Also $500 for my Suzuki GSXR 750.

so that works out that i have an average of 575bhp per tonne (Veyron territory) comprehensively insured for an average of $525 per year

(sorry, it always peps me up when i do those sums)

yummy...

Hmmm they want $1400 a year, seems expensive on a $8000 car?

you must be a miserable driver if you take up that offer. Surely you don't want to fork out 17.5% on insurance .

Just go 3rd party property damage. Why do you need comprehensive on a cheap car. Even 4% is a bit high in my view which is what I pay on my car

Why wouldn't you? For eg coming home from work in my work car and I got crashed into and it was declared my fault. The car was only worth 4 grand but had comp insurance on it. Now if I did not have insurance I was going to be out of pocket what ever it cost for a new work car. But since I did I got 3500 back bought a another car for 2 grand with 1500 to do what ever I like with.

I'd recommend you give the following a call after Just Car and Shannons.

Allianz, NRMA, Suncorp.

They are completely independant (Just car and Shannons are owned by Suncorp but all have different underwriters) of each other and have fluctuations of when they will take on more grey imports. I call them regularly to see if the price I have is crap, hell just after Brisbane floods my premiums on my car went down by $120 and I live in the inner north side. Probably helps that my street etc is not a flood zone though =P

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
