Hi,

I’m looking into buying a 94-95 GTSt (unfortunately NOT a GTR).

I’ve seen a few comments about insurance in the forum BUT they seem to be comments younger drivers trying to insure GTR’s.

I’m over 30 and have a rating 1.

What’s the deal? Any comments? Who is best?

Thanks

Pearman

I'm in Brisbane and over 30 with rating one.

I use Suncorp and I'm charged $1000 a year for R33 gtst.

I've tried a couple of brokers but without successfuly beating that price, they even say they cannot beat Suncorp premiums!

There has got to be places where I can almost halve this premium.

Anyone?

I too am with Suncorp. I have a 94 R33 GTST, I am 25 with a rating 2 and I get hit for about $1450 for full comp. I have a few friends in other insurance companies and they either don't touch imports or cannot come close to that price.

If anyone can better Suncorp let us know!

I have just sold my 93 R33 but was insured with Suncorp until I sold it - their premiums were hard to beat! I am 25 with rating 1 and over 5 years of NCB, and they were only asking me $1270 pa.

The guy I sold my car to is a year younger than me (thus falling into the expensive sub-25 yo bracket) and is paying $2050 pa also with Suncorp.

Honestly, this came as a great surprise to me - you would expect some specialist insurers to be able to snip something off these premiums, but I couldn't get a better deal when I was insuring the skyline last year.

Ditto - I have replaced my skyline with a 1998 BMW M3 and was able to get fully comprehensive insurance with Suncorp (this time with a speeding ticket in my recent driving history) for $1650 pa.

I am in no way affilliated with Suncorp! I HATE insurance companies as a rule, after the decided to write off my pride and joy first car (a crappy old commodore but I was attached to it) five years ago, and then refused to sell the wreck back to me when I decided that I would repair it myself. That was MMI though, and thankfully they aren't in business any more!

Good luck with the hunt for lower premiums. It's my recent expereince in the insurance shopping around market that premiums are continuing to rise inordinately (far in excess of inflation) and that imports are getting harder and harder to insure though the main insurance retailers.

I'm sure your "maturity" will work in your favor :)

Best of luck,

Simon.

AON Risk Services.

On the up side, WELL under a thousand bucks.

On the down side, haven't had to make a claim, so no idea what the service is like.

On the up side, small brokerage firm means personal service and hopefully, not screwing me over on a claim.

On the down side, office in Hobart (!! of all places..)(sorry all you Tas-wegians).

ps I am in brisvegas, nearly 30 :-(, rating one, they do have an office in Brisbane but they are commercial only.

I was with Suncorp i was paying around $1400/ yr rating 5 which i though was great, but i decied to go as they have a rating/points system and if you want to go and do mods the points dont last. IF you go over the points they will ask you to take a mod off so you are under or they will reevaluate your insurance . I have a R33GTST 95

3" exhaust ,air filter, 18" mags,after market stereo, Nismo Rear wing 400r front and i was on the limit.

Cheers

fact 2, ive lost my liscence.. and im only 19...

so that means im pretty much screwed...

ohwell.. i just gotta take it easy for a while till i can save some money incase sh*t happens.

      I'll bite. I no longer own any euro's, but I thought I'd share two of my favorites I owned. My 500hp B5 S4 and my 800HP E55 AMG. Yes I did attempt to drive the E55 in Canadian winters, that lasted all of a month as it was a death trap.

      To be fair this is the wife’s car. However, I have been accused of owning more cars than I have pairs of undies. Luckily I change my undies more frequently than the cars.

      Cheers Lads Looking at changing up a few things maybe go 2.8lt, bigger injectors with more a modern Turbo. Possibly transbrake and convert to E85 with Haltech ECU. Any thoughts on those Mods changes or better ideas? Want to try keep the car Street/Strip While also being weekend drivable still.

      We're a bunch of suspicious skeptics here. So when we see a new user describing themselves as a "guy" but showing "Female" in the bio, we immediately suspect "bot" and "spam". If you are legit, then welcome. If you are a spambot, then die in an AI fire. No offence (unless you're a bot). What car did your dad drive when he met your mum? (Call this a car forum Turing test, if you like). What car did your mum drive when you started school? What car did your date drive to your first formal/prom/whatever. What do the majority of the license plates in your local area have on them (the state motto, the county motto, whatever)?
