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

Im 17 as well and i bought a 1992 R32 gtst, 3" turbo back exhaust, FMIC, BOV, Apexi AVCR, Greddy E-manage and GTR kit and my insurance with just cars in $2,052 . that is when i turn 18 in a month. i dont know what ur saying 4K?

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.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
