Im really starting to think about purchasing a skyline most likely a r33 gts-t or gts.

I just need help on how much the insurance would cost BECAUSE im only 18 and had my licence for only 6 months?

And do most skyline owners have comprehensive insurance (for obvisous reasons)? or just third party ?

theres are several insurance threads

do a search

you may find insurance maybe quite high due to you only being 18 with a skyline

however, try "famous insurance", i got a freak premium which is very very low

0%, SYD, GTT .. under $2.7k prem + other standard costs

i had a skyline when i was 18 and on red Ps and had no problem with police or killing myself. It was actually my second car.

i just got a tracking alarm, and third party property for $660 from just cars.

if you want one and have the $$ get it just be careful anything can pop out on the road in front of you (including police)

its best to take part in a defensive driving course, which is usually an eye opener for an inexperienced driver.

i dislike the 'adults' thats whinge like a little girl about this kiind of thing, they watch the news too much...

i would say their whinging is pretty reasonable.

if i was older and say had a family i sure as hell would complain about p platers. and more importantly the government which is the source of all these p plater problems.

imagine the worry every time u let a family member borrow a car when u know they have a statistically high chance of getting wiped out.

(i am a p plater.)

Can people PLEASE stop blaming the government. Blame no one, accidents happen, no ones a "perfect" driver hence why there are speed limits so people can drive more in control but so there is less chance of crashing

Why do you think the RTA brought in the P2's ? So people who drove stupid would lose their license as they still did not have 12 demerit points for another 2 years.

I am 18 and yes I love my cars, I am totally opposed to banning high-powered vehicles for slightly younger drivers. There's idiots on the road, statistics don't lie. A large majority of people are under 25 (particularly male) are at least THREE times more likely to crash. Im not saying P-platers are idiots, but the stereotypical person see's a P plater accident and claims they should all have more experience. Therefore, all P-platers get slapped hard for insurance because of the stereotypes.

This then leads to insurance companies having to play the probably game with people under 25 who haven't driven much especialy high powered cars.

A mate of mine is an idiot when it comes to driving, he consistently drives out of his limits in shit cars and in the last year has written off two cars. He still has not learnt his lesson but nags his mates who own rotaries and turbo'd cars to be able to drive them. They say no funnily enough.

imperium, I know you may think your the best driver but we are all improving the more we drive. I don't know whether you have your CAMS or anything so I'm not bashing your driving skills but honestly, do an advanced driving course if you are serious about wanting a turbo'd car. They're only $300, it may save you and even your mates life one day.

Good luck with finding your new car, as for insurance I would stronly recommend Just Cars 3rd Party Fire and Theft - However the payout for theft is weak (about 1/3 of actual car's value

Yeah i was definately going to go on the advanced driving courses, do u use your own car with them or the companies ?

Yeah i know im not the best driver in the world but reading some thread (like the EVLR34 thread) has really opened my eyes when driving over the speed limit etc. All i can say is im a sensible driver... thx leb and everyone else for the advice.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
