Hey guys.

I am thinking of buying either an R32 Skyline or a turbo S13.

was wondering wat peoples oppinions are when it comes to insurance i am 17 and on my p's in SA.

who would be the best priced insurance companies to go with for imports and do you think its better to go third party fire and theft or spend the extra doh and go full comprehensive.

all help would be heeps appreciated.

cheers, Aaron.

i prefer 3rd party compared to 3rd party fire and theft... coz fire n theft has a lotta conditions and only pay out up to $4 grand or sumthin... minus the excess so its not much... and they wouldnt cover my system anyway on fire n theft

for full comp i was looking at $3000 - $4000...

this was all through just cars for a S2 R33

my dad just gotta quote for full comp on his 4 door r33 and it was $800

P's are a bitch... im in melbourne though

try a search

i've priced 3 seperate quotes for R33's series 1 and 2, with varying mods, and the most expensive quote was $2200. thats just cars, and i'm only 19. in melb!

$4k? what the hell for

apparently premium prices have dropped a lot lately.....i think you should try again and get closer to $2k

Yeah im down to $908 a year rating one 23 with Just cars. Started at 21 on rating 3 at $1700.

Being in SA im guessing your insurance will be about $2k, try doing an online quote on the just cars website, then when ur serious give them a call. I found it was a fair bit cheaper when i rang them compared to the online quote.

You do realise when you list your mods they must be 100% legal.

If it isn't.. Goodbye insurance policy.

However, insurance company's don't usually pick on this unless you were being totally stupid and crashed the car.

the best pricing I've got is from Famous Car Insurance.

My skyline's insured for $1200 a year and the ceffy is $800, and that's for full comprehensive.

Helps if you've got a good rating though.

Their policies are a bit odd though. For example, I got a quote from one repairer for accident repair on the cef, had an assessor come down and approve it. The repairer bludged around for a couple of months etc, so I got another quote from another repairer for a cheaper value, and they insisted that I wait for the more expensive repairer to do the work. Which was wierd.

Other than that no hassles at all, and as long as you tell em what mods you have upfront, they're generally OK with it.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      I used to have Walbro 255's when they were a pretty common update. (or were they 044? 040?) In any case I had a dirty tank. I thought the tank was good, but I would find the filter would clog in maybe ~50km of driving. If the issue persists, well, your fuel system or tank has crap in it that the pump is sucking up.

      Hi. Ok thanks for the info. I/we do not know what tune is on that Nistune ECU so it is why there is stock ECU and that Nistune is for later when the car is done. I have guy who tunes Nistune and other ECU so i will then take it to him to see and properly tune for the car   And for the update. On 99,9% it is bad fuel pump. Which is wierd cuz it is like 2 years old(brand new walbro 255) and that filter (also brand new) was dirty.  I was alwaya pumped premium(100) on very good petrol station so i dont know how is that possible...

      Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.

      So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here
