What insurance companies are best to insure skyline with?? For an under 25 year old :/

thats going to be tough Kath. I dont know any insurance companies that are going to be cheap to cover skylines for under 25's.

Have a go at Just-Car and Shannons - but be ready for a not so pretty quote :unsure:

This

Third party minimum. Fully comp would depend on the quote and how much you can afford. Also no point insuring a 5 or 6k car for 2k a year. may aswell put that 2k into a savings account for an uh oh fund. Consider it your own insurance. Insurance is very dependent on personal circumstances.

Don't crash? Get a full comp quote and then go from there. It might be cheap enough on a non turbo etc. I had my GTR insured with Just Car when I was 18 and that was an entirely different story. Think $3k/year and like $4.5k excess. $5k if stolen lol. But the car was insured for 30k so I had piece of mind.

If I may be so rude, how much are you paying for the car? If it is under 7k I wouldnt bother with fully comp.

Yep just cars and shannons are the only ones that will look at you. Shannons you need to have the car in a lock up garage.

5k and Shannon's won't even look at me cos I'm 18... They were so rude to me. Like ohh we can't insure you cos your 18 have a good day. I'm like well then... Bum bums

I got a good quote for $1900 from nrma

Third party sounds like the go. Try not to crash it and save the money on insurance as a rainy day fund. Paying $1900/yr on insurance you're not likely to use seems pretty silly to me.

Go at your own pace, perfect oportunity to get some coaching too from a more experienced driver. Most of the guys wouldn't have an issue with doina a few laps in the passenger seat and helping with some pointers. Confidence and coaching help develop driver skills. That and a whole lot of practice.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
