Hey ppl wats up?! This is 2 hear from all the skyline owners under 21 (or who had a Skyline when they were under 21) as i am 19 and am finding it a bitch 2 get insurance! The best quote i could get was $2500 and i dont even have a turbo! does this sound right? They really do make it hard 4 ppl 2 have a nice car!:D and there is no way im gonna swap it 4 a Lancer or Excel im willing 2 do watever it takes. So i jus wanna know where u all get your insurance and 4 how much?

Also do u guys reccomend getting insured under a parents name? Is there a downside 2 doing this and can it b done with an import?

Please help this young and frustrated Skyline fan!:)

No. If the insurance company find out they can deny your claim.

Do a search for "Insurance". Good Luck! :D

My best adbice I can give you is Get only third party property damage and drive safely and enjoy your car and install Quic trac.

Its only 300 bucks a year to monitor for you.

Best ideal way for you. trust me.

The money yuou can save instead of having comprehensive can be saved for a rainy day repairs if you do get into an accident.

Its like yor own insurance.

Good luck my friend.

$2500 is cheap, Famous Insurance quoted me $3600 for a `96 non-turbo and I am 18, but 0% NCB as I havent had a full year of insurance yet.

I don't think I would even bother with a non-turbo as the price difference in terms of insurance is quite neglegable, that's why I am going the GTiR path.

$2500 on a $25000+ car is pretty cheap for a Yound Driver, with low NCB, sports/performance car that is an import etc. It's not the insurance companies making it hard, its all the drivers crashing them and not taking adequate security measures to stop them being stolen that forces the prices up.

My premium is about $500 on a $6,000 R31 Skyline - so as you can see, I still manage to pay about 10% of the car value etc.

As for only having Third Party Property - that is a big call to make - I know I certainly wouldn't do it unless I could afford to just replace my car if something ever happened to it. There are lots of examples I could give where you have no claim against anyone to repair / replace your car if it was damaged or stolen if you have no insurance.

My preference for a tracker is Navtrak - They cost from $1950 which covers your first year monitoring and installation.

I currently have a Quik Trak, but will be pulling that out soon and fitting a Navtrak as they offer greater coverage.

ahh another 19 year old just like me in the same situation

how are ya man

i got my best quote off famous classic car insurnace for 3150

for my 97 180sx type x. now thats the best deal i have found and iam actually going to pay that cash +) yes iam hehe call me crazy =)

well buddy i learned from the guys here and it goes

if you cant afford to pay insurnace they u cant afford the car man

sounds harsh yes. i hate it when they all said that but its true

my reconmendation save some cash insure it under your name. dont take the risk just like me your young and can somtimes do stupid things =) i admit i have and learned =) so get full comp =)

thats my 2 cents =)

Remember in a way you are probably driving a $20,000 car afterall, no matter what the performance aspect, it generally still costs you around $1000 to insure any car of around that value. That is just the costs they charge to replace it...or the 20 skylines they have to insure to pay for a fully written off one, or stolen one.

I'm 26, rating 1 and I still will be paying $2030 to insure my modified R33. So even as you get older, and have a good driving record you still will pay a fair amount. This is I guess the price you pay for having some unique and not just another common-dore.

If you can't afford it, well, yeah, maybe wait a few years...because well you do want some years of driving behind you before you get into something it is really a high performance car only a few steps down from a porshe, ferrari or the like. There are many things I am glad I learned in crappier cars, and i had the dents to prove it!

i just got a quote from just car insurance for a r32 skyline gtst to the value of 15k. it came in at $2500/yr on a rating 3. mods included exhaust, bov, filter, mags. i thought that wasnt too bad seeing as though i am 20. I do have a near perfect driving record as well.

Thanx 4 the replies!

Yeah i guess yous r right if u cant afford the insurance u cant afford the car! i guess ill jus have 2 pay $2500 4 now unless i find sumthin better.

But i might try a broker and see what they can get me does anyone know of a good broker?

:confused:

Thanx again 4 the help!!!!!:D

Hey $2500 for a skyline is not too bad. Ive got a friend who 'inherited' a 2000 Mazda 323, just to be stuck with an insurance premium of $2500! For a 21 year old chick!

Does anyone know where to get more info on NAV track? How much does it cost for monitoring? If i was getting a tracking device i wouldnt get Quiktrak as it only has a limited range, unlike turbotrack and (i think) NAvtrack - they work anywhere as they use GPS.

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
