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.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
