its not cheap, i pay $2700, but think about this, you pay $17k for your car, u would be crazy not to fully insure it, anything can happen, and now that there seem to be a few getting stolen either be able to afford comprehensive insurance or dont buy one at all. After all when you own a skyline, the price of insurance is nothing compared to the price you pay for mods and problems.

Forget the qoutes, theyre all garbish! Suncorpmetaway or what ever, qouted me $550 for a '95 GTS, and then when i listed what i had (suspension, exhaust, stereo, and wheels) they said, that i wasn't eligable for their insurance anymore! All the qoutes are pezent, they dont mean anything until the insurance company commits to it, and for me, even still being a NA they said doesnt matter, the fact its a grey import! and told me 2 forget it. (even for 3rd party) as a i result the ONLY company that would touch me was Just cars, $850 for fire and theft, unlimited mods as long as legal and just for 3rd party minus $150 off it.

Sorry but cheap insurance at your age? forget it. Unless your driving a barina:P

Dayne

full comp is a rip  

I don't want it till i am like 21  

Just drive safe never leave ya car so anyone can steal it  

Don't drive car if its unneeded  

Don't speed drift or b a full insuracnes doesn't pay out if u crash doing them anyway

dude i thought like that as well till sum lady hit me and i only had third party.....

you may be careful with your car, doesnt always mean other people on the road will be careful... you gotta think of all that as well.

as for the question, im 18 and on my P's, im with just car, i payed $647 for third party and i have the same car, ( mines got minor mods, pod filter n exhaust... nuttin major ), and if i wanted comprehensive which i am getting now due to last week, it'll cost me $3,500 straight up. just car will insure younger people with skylines, coz it didnt take me anything to get them to insure me... i rang up like 4 places previous to them and they pretty much laughed at me e.g

me: umm i wanna get insurance for my 94 skyline gts-t?, racv insurance dude: hahahahahahahahaha, only if you pay us like 8 gran.... me: pffft yeah right.

personally i reckon just car is good if your young and wanna insure a car like what we drive, only downside.... theres no monthly payments, its pay straight up or nothin.

Probably a 1000 reason's why it's cheaper..

As for insurance for 17 year old. They won't like you because you have no driving experience "on record" you could be the most amazing driver in the world.. unfortunately doesn't matter, your still only 17. I'm 22 and most places quote $2000+ for fully comp and that's with a 50% no claim.

All I can say is.. get 3rd party.. and be damn careful. It's not you - that you should be worried about, it's the other people with 3rd party that run into you.. than the shit hits the fan..

ohhhhh yeah, its what happened 2 me.... im still tryna fight it after a week now, still wish i coulda afforded full comp. but whats done is done now.

lol why is insurance sooo cheap in perth ?

eh not sure .. but when I got my quote, that's what convinced me to buy a Skyline.

Sure I love jap cars, but if it were costing me 2+K a year for insurance like what some of you guys are payin .. i'd say bugger it!

  • 3 weeks later...

I just got my quote back from justcars:

r32gtst exhaust mods and aftermarket BOV, they quoted 660 for third party fire & theft...

what shits me is the excess. it says 450 standard + 400 for being under 22 and under 25 + 350 for endorsements.. that's a $1150 excess... maybe I wrote something wrong, or aren't reading it right..

What are the endorsements for?

BTW 450 + 400 + 350 = 1200

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
