Hey guys,

I've got quotes with Justcar and Young & Cool. Any other good places that'll insure in Sydney?

My current info is:

- '96 R33 Skyline GTS25t insured to the value of about $25,000

- 20/21 years old (depending on when I take delivery)

- 20-30% no claim (goes to 30% if I hold onto my current insurance till Feb 03)

- Stock car EXCEPT an exhaust tip

It's looking to be around $4,000-$4,500 for the first year (and less for subsequent years as my no-claim goes up).

A further question, for those who've had the misfortune to have had to make a claim - will they count an exhaust tip as a modification on the "exhaust"? I'd prefer to tell them, but the premium just skyrockets.

I've heard insurance brokers get much better deals with the insurance companies, anyone know any?

Hey there,

Can you recommend any insurance brokers?

I tried Suncorp's online estimate and it said it couldn't give me a a price based on what I entered. I'll call them on Monday and give them my info over the phone and see what I get.

Ouch! I just called Suncorp for a 96 Skyline for me (20yo 20% no claim) and they said $9500/yr for comprehensive insurance!

How did you guys get cheap insurance with them? You get discounts if you have other forms of insurance with them, but I don't..

I'll either stick to JusrCar or find an insurance broker :)

Ouch!!! Might have something to do with Sydney...but I don't know.

24 year old, 0% no claim....$2400. And it went up to $400 when i moved from Gladstone to Brisbane. So I talked them down on my rating to rating 5 so with 20% ncb went down to $2000.

What about modifications? Any? Mine doesn't have any...I bought it that way. :)

They didn't ask if I had any mods, but mine wouldn't have any.

I'm a 20 year old with a 20% no claim, and the Suncorp guy reckons age doesn't matter, only no claim. I don't understand it - did you just call them up and get a quote? Or visit them?

Anyone else have experience with Suncorp-Metway and live in Sydney?

I quoted Chatswood as I'm moving there soon. I currently live in Mosman which is a good area for car insurance.

However, Chatswood definitely isn't a hot spot for car theft so I don't think it's a suburb thing..

Suncorp-Metway is Queensland company...Maybe they don't like southerners?

I live in Sydney in the North Shore. I have one car (non high risk) insured with suncorp under my name at a very decent price.

When I called to get a quote for the GTR they quoted me $12K. So I said fine. I called up about 4 more times because I know insurance companies are inconsistent. But each time they came back with a high quote.

I spoke to the manager on the day. He said the reason is because Sydney is a much higher risk area than other states (which is true) and cos the car is high risk.

No one I know personally as of late has been able to get a decent quote from suncorp in Sydney < 25 years old.

I'm with Suncorp too, I went thru a broker. The broker was in QLD, which might have helped getting the insurance, as they probably send a lot of business to Suncorp.

But I'm in Canberra (low risk) so it might have been a totally different story if I'd been in Sydney :)

If you make a claim that is your fault, doesn't your rating go back to 0%? Then you have to start building up? (1 rating improvement per year).

How old / who are you with that chares $2300?

I just got a quote from "Famous Classic Car Insurance" for my Skyline.

I quoted:

- 20 years old

- 20% no claim

- $26,000 Skyline Turbo

- He didn't ask if I had any mods

For $3299.

This is considerably cheaper than any other places I've tried (Justcar, Young & Cool and many others).

Has anyone ever heard of these guys? As much as I'd like to save money, I don't wanna blow it on a company that won't accept my claims / dissapear / etc.

      R33 GTST Axles

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.

      R34 Speedo not working after manual swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder

      Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia body...

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Jarsky · Posted

      This. A 3d wheel alignment is like $120...just take it to the shop. Since theres probably multiple adjustments that need to be made after changing something. Mine has front/rear lower arms, traction rods, tension rods, camber arms, toe arms, front upper arms, hicas kit, sway bars and coilovers. I measure from the edge of the bolt holes on the originals and set the same length on all the adjustable stuff to dial it as close as I could to OEM. Took it straight for alignment; it didnt feel right at all...after alignment, it feels perfect. Similarly i've just changed the springs on another car; and I still needed multiple adjustments to bring it back in spec.
