Insurance Blues ...


Recommended Posts

INASNT,

let me put it this way guys .. cars in australia are wayyyy cheaper than it is in malaysia .. for example .. a R34 GTR V-spec II here would cost less than 100 grand rite ? in malaysia its around 220++ Aussie dollars .. a DC5 type-r here is less than 50 grand but its selling for 100 grand Aussie dollars in Malaysia ..

akeenan,

yes i can get a comprehensive insurance .. its just going to be expensive thats all ..

sven_laptop,

you are right .. i'm not a good driver yet .. everybody has to start somewhere rite ? which one of you here became very good in driving when you just got your license ? nobody rite ?

i might not get the GTT due to high arse insurance prices .. so i'm thinking of other options like a DC5 type-R .. haih .. its so sad ..

thanks guys .. i really appreciate all your views .. especially yours sven_laptop .. ! i'm going to get a less powerful car for now .. a DC5 .. =( and the insurance i'm going to pay is $ 4500 a year .. i know it sucks .. but .. oh well ..

take care guys ! drive safely !

cheers !

even tho ur a student, u can still have a decent job. I'm will be a 2nd year uni student this year and i have a decent enough job to get insurance for a GT-T at around $1500, and i'm 19. Haven't got the car yet... but that's what saving is all about. If u want a GT-T, and i'm kinda in ur boat, really want it but it's looking REALLY impracticle, then get it. If u dad is paying the $35K or so to get the car, i don't think he'd mind paying insurance either... well i don't know... he might. Anyways it seems like u've wised up to the whole situation..

wonder when i will? :D

hey !

you want a GTT too ? damn .. there are so sweet rite ? nothing can beat the looks of that car in the price range .. but i dont think i wanna get if after knowing the prices of insurance here in australia .. :(

i'm really considering the DC5 type- R .. what do you think of this car ? is it alright ? i mean you cant compare the performance with any skyline as it would lose out straight away .. in terms of looks and everything ?

cheers !

heard lots of great things abou the Type-R's, ppl who drive em go "all this crap about FWD, this car shows that it doesn't really matter"

yep, i am thinking about settling for a WRX, possibly a 325i, but the appeal of the R34 GT-T is soooo damn strong.... awesome looking cars, and the performance to match.

to the person who mentioned prosperion before. that's what i was talking about before. But they aren't just an insurance company. The package together the running costs of the car for a year (u sit down with em and budget out what u'd spend on fuel, servicing, tyres, insurance) and then divide into monthly payments. This then comes out of ur pay pre-tax. So u gotta get ur employer's ok to do this. That's what i was getting at about a decent job, cos i don't see this happening thru maccas.

So in regards with insurance with prosperion, they insure more on the CAR rather than the DRIVER, big advantage. U can mod the crap out of the car as long as it's street legal. But u gotta install navtrak, which u'd prob do anyway. Of course they have excessse for under 25's and turbo cars, but the guy i spoke (chris) said it would work out to be $1500 for the insurance part. So as u can see, it's pretty damn good. But it's quite complicated to do it tho. And a bit restrictive for 18/19 yr olds who might want to go o.s. but have to be on a minimum of 12month novated lease. But it's really the only way of getting insurance and plus coming out of ur pay pre-tax, getting a tax benefit there as well.

cheers.

    • 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.
