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

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
