Hi, I'm looking into purchasing an R34 25GT, after looking at some insurance companies and using the quote systems I've found out that insurance is upwards of $3000 and for NRMA it was over $5000. I'm wondering if there are any good companies that are willing to insure an R34 25GT for a more reasonable price, I've heard about Famous insurance but I can't seem to get the quote system working.

I'm sure there are lots of people on here with opinions about getting an R34 as a first car, but please don't come here and tell me not to get one or something along those lines, I just want an answer to my question :) Thanks!

You're going to struggle to get a "good deal". They are expensive to insure because they are targeted for theft and usually wrap nicely around poles. Even as a mature driver with no history and multiple cars on a policy I still couldn't get anything reasonable through the big insurers and had to spend more than I wanted. You also have to factor in age, little driving experience and P plates.

 

Best of luck. Let us know who you go with

Enthusiast.com.au seem pretty good and the prices are much lower than "mainstream" insurance companies such as NRMA and all. Going to call on monday and get a proper quote since the online tool seems a bit finicky.

Not that I'm knocking them or anything. But remember two things:

1. There is a reason they are cheaper. Read plenty of reviews of them before taking a policy out and really properly study the PDS.

2. You get what you pay for.

 

Best of luck, let us know what you end up getting quotes I'm curious.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
