Hi Guys,

Add me to the list!

Last week I finally made a purchase – R34 GTT (from Japan/Auction).

Now it’s time to wait for shipping, compliance, etc. Fingers crossed for no hassles.

I’ve been waiting for 2 years… it’s finally happening!

I’ll be following in the steps – exhaust, pod, etc

My big question is INSURANCE.

I’ve looked on this site and got LOADS of different advice.

** I’ve only looking for R34 GTT Owners – preferably South/East QLD.

If you are willing to share your details, can I find out,

1) Insurance Company

2) Approx cost

3) Any policy details (special requirements, etc)

4) Your age

5) Approx location (Bris - North, south, east, west, North/South Coast, etc)

6) Rating

7) Are they ok with basic mods? extra cost?

ANY of the above info would be great! sorry for so many questions!

Thanks for your time,

PEAR

Mines the Manual Coupe, I'm 21, living in the Carindale area and I'm with Just Car - $1998 a year with about $800 excess on any basic claim. The car can be modified as much as I like as long as the car audio gear is <$2000 and its roadworthy. The car is for the agreed value of $33000.

As per our discussions last night, I've asked my cousin in NZ to go to the Dealership where I saw R34's about 4 years ago and ask how much service/owners manuals are. Once I get prices and check availability, I'll post it on this thread and we can get orders. I'm meeting him in 2 weeks so delivery here may be fairly quick.

I've been told that a NZ company has translated the Jap R34 Manual.

I know someone in Bris that had a copy. I'll check it out and let you know.

Also, Thanks for the comments on the Bayside and the Insuranace info!

Will send more details on the car when I have them...

so far, R34 GTT Series I - Year 2000, 4 - grade 4 - stock, with a few minor scratched, etc.

Nice Bayside, should have my silver sedan on the road late April.

I'm 30 Rating 1 with Just Cars $955 with min 2 point immobiliser needed, Brisbane Northside as Choyda said for mods.

Zymotic, that's the BEST deal so far, can anyone better $955?

How do you find Just Cars? Ok to deal with?

Nice looking sedan! I'm sure late April can't come soon enough! good luck!

Choyda, thanks for the info - sorry to hear that you are stuck with $1998!

Better than $955 anyone?

Just cars seemed ok over the phone but you might wanna find someone who has made a claim to see how it all went.

2 biggest factors seem to be rating/accident history (or lack of) and age of youngest driver.

30rys old seems to be a magic number where things get a fair bit cheaper provided rating is good.

Just Cars were fine with me during a claim...someone reversed into my front bar and damaged it, they tried to drive off but I got their drivers licence number (through force)

The guy supplied a dodgey phone number etc etc, but the claim went fine because I had his correct licence details :(

The car was fixed all within 2 weeks.

I'm 25, rating 1, agreed value of $29,000, a few mods, paying $1100...the next bill should be under $1000 though

wow,, 2004 model,, thats pratically brand new dude,,,

how many kms if u don't mind me asking?

i'm with just cars too and pay $1600, thats the best i could find at the time,, i.e 1 yr ago,, but will be looking around in a few months when its time to renew,,

I think this part of the post is most crucial. If they can deem the mods you've done to be un-roadworthy, I'm sure they'd refuse cover.

A boost controller is illegal (apparently). Any turbo besides stock is illegal without a modification plate. Tinted windows beyond legal tint are illegal.

I just read that post by Choy and had alarm bells ringing in my head. I'm sure an insurance company would try anything to not cover you and keep the premiums.

Just my 2c.

:werd: in fact it would probably branch even further than that. Im quite sure it states in just cars policy that you must list EVERY single modification to your car....that would include such things as pod filters etc and if these were deemed to be illegal im sure they'd try to get off on such a lame excuse. Keep in mind people that almost any modification is illegal without a mod plate, so be careful in thinking your covered when in fact you may not be.

This gives me the shits, if they are taking premiums for a modded vehicle and you have the mods listed with them, you have an accident and then they turn around and say we are not covering you because you have these mods, then surely you would have recourse to claim the premiums you have paid back, as they obviously had no intention of covering your vehicle in the first place, so therefore they have been getting you to pay premiums for coverage under false pretences.

Matt.... what do you reckon, lawyer boy???/??

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
