Why did you not organise your insurance before buying the car?

Futhermore im not sure why you are complaining about the price after your last insurer paid out "$30-40k" for your last GTS-T

Like Beer Baron, I am not surprised.

How old are you? How long have you had your license? Have you had insurance before?

I'm 22 - with Just Cars - 50% no claim - $2000 insured for $21,000.. welcome to Sydney and it's insurance prices.. not much you can do..

Sorry if i'm sounding rude - but unfortunately if you own a turbo import that's what they charge.. alot of places won't touch them - NRMA and AAMI for one..

NRMA - must be sold in production in Australia

AAMI - default you to Just Cars as they underwrite them..

Famous - have trouble competing with Just Cars if you haven't had insurance before as they won't give you a decent no-claim..

2k sounds about right, but theres heaps of variables they look at to determine this ie age, previous claims, area you leave the car,driving record etc etc. How old are you? if your under 25 this is cheap. And if you got 30-40 k pay out what are you worried about?

Insurance companies use a market bracket system - what year is your car? they also look at how much you paid and than come to an agreement with you.

My 1998 R33 has a market value bracket of $20,000 - $23,000, unless yours is similar to this - I would expect the market value to be the same.

Unfortunately that's how they work - you will also find that the following year the market value will drop.. it's the way it goes..

If you feel it is worth more - than you need to have a chat to them and possibly they will raise it, thing is it will be difficult to get it above the bracket for market value..

i dont see why you would want to insure it for more than 19k, seeing that most 95gtsts sell for less than that, and there is no hard value u can put on them ie. redbook.

hence the question who much did u get it for..

and if u did get get it for more im pretty sure u would have to have some proof that u did pay more for it, ie stamp duty when u bought the car.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
