Hi Everyone,

I recently bought my mum an R32 Skyline to go to and from work with. She bought me a car when I was 17 and sold hers, so now I have done the same for her as I now catch the train to work.

The catch is that I would like to be able to take this car out on weekends etc and be insured to do so.

All insurance quotes have been above $3000 with an excess of nearly $3000. I am 22 years old and have a spotless driving record. I am on my silver liscence.

Can anybody suggest the best way to get insurance with me as a nominated driver. She is currently on a policy paying $2300.

Have been quoted by Famous, Shannons, and NRMA. Was very disappointed with Famous as so many people have spoken so highly about them.

I have searched on this topic and couldnt find much information. Please forgive me for making yet another insurance thread.

Thanks

*first I am no Insurance broker,just giving advice from uni insurance law and experience.*

so you bought R32 skyline for your mom for travel between work and home

Is this skyline under your name or your mom???registered to?

You would like to take out spin during weekends and would like to nominate yourself...

I think its depends on Percentages and youngest person operating vehicle, if you nominate as addtional driver to that vehicle and they(insurace) will ask you who is youngest person driving the car... so I assume there isnt much difference between nominating mom or yourself...

Do search on INSURANCE BROKER and just explain your situation

cheers

Hey mate, i suggest Elder's car Insurance. They will only insure people over 25, but as long as the main driver is over that age you can nominate drivers under 25. Dont have a number on me but just dig around. They're the ones who also have the real estate business and stuff as well.

My insurance is with them under my dads name (60% NCB) and i'm on the policy as well (well under 25) The cars a turbo '96 R33 and its only $1440 full comp good luck!

Hi p1r4t8r, just out of interest did Elders insure your car with or without other insurance?

I recently started working for Elders in Melbourne about 2 months ago, and from what I have learnt that Elders can't offer the good prices unless they have supporting business.

Although my boss can also act as a broker and find out what is the best.

P.S your Mum must be very proud, she also must be one of the coolest mums ive heard of to cruize in a 32 :cheers:

$2300 with just your mum on the quote seems ridiculously high for a 32......

Might be unlucky and just live in a region where you are at high risk which leads to high insurance costs.

Have you tried Just Cars? They were a hell of a lot cheaper with their quotes than anyone else. 2nd Closest being famous who were really helpful but couldn't match Just Cars at the end of the day.

im a 19 yr old driver with a na 33. got quoted 2400 for full comprehensive from just car, which is bloody rediculous. I then got quoted 800 for fire and theft where the maximum claim could be 5000. WTF is goin on with just car??? i thought they were half decent, its easier to get comprehensive with HBF who did it for 1800 because of a "case by case" decision.

      Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.

      Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.

      The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
