Insurance For An R34- How Much?


Recommended Posts

Approx how much would I be forking out each year to insure an R34 GTT.

I'm 17 (on my P's) and havn't had a crash/claim.

Also registration.. How much do you think it will cost to keep a turbo 34 on the road.

If you can't afford the insurance, you can't afford the car. IF you buy the car and don't insure it, don't come on here and whinge that ur car was stolen and u didn't have insurance.

Pray that your R34 dont get stolen cause u got no insurence ? Well you have to be praying damn hard to the big cheese. Arent alot of thieves targeting R34s in some states? Got quoted around 1.3k for a R34Gtt im 22 from Just Car. For u my friend I dont think anyone will touch it since ur 17 except Just Car prob be around 3 to 4k haha goodluck.

You will be looking at 2-3k for insurance...its about 2k full comp for my Cappuccino. (which is 660cc turbo) And im 18 been drivin since 2004 with no fines or accidents. Also have you considered getting a different car as a first having driving a R34 GT-T numerous times they are quick, and in inexperienced hands can be deadly. But then again its your dosh or your parents but its just my personal opinion. Also i believe registration is about $600-700.

Yeah I've seriously thought about it, although my current car is pretty quick... Maybe I shouldn't go turbo, but then again. Argh! Its all outta my money btw and of course i'll be getting insurance (I think my parents will chip in here and there too). I thought about getting AM rev limiters and all that shit, I kinda have a lead foot and I KNOW petrol will be a bitch!

true true, if i was driving a skyline back when i just got my licence when i was 17, i think i wouldnt have a licence by now,

so glad i drove a 88 corolla around for a few years, have goten into some sticky situations but because the car was so damn slow i could never really go that fast,

and believe me when your young and your driving around with a few mates, last thing on your mind is driving sensibly

I totally agree... and if i had a skyline at my age i know i wouldnt be here or have no licence, thats why i went for a slower rwd turbo being a cappuccino its got more then enough for what i use the car for. I just hope putty realises that young drivers shouldnt be steping up to something with heaps of power...youve got the crawl before you can walk.

Yeah.. well I'm 18 now, My B-day was on the 11th :P

Anywayz.. I don't really see how having a RWD turbo car can keep you outta trouble but an AWD turbo 34 will get you killed or lose your liscence or both :cool: I KNOW they are fast but unless you are really really stupid..you will adapt to the car before it has time to end your life.

My car now is f*cken quick btw.

Stupidity has little to do with people dying on the road, inexperience and lack of self control... now thats another story, although you could refer to that as stupidity also.

Happy birthday.

    • Yeah they sure are available for import now, its great news Matt, You need an import specialist insurer, nothing has really changed over the years about the mainstream insurance companies not touching them. I have my cars with Lumley (same group as NRMA etc) because they insure imports and have a good concept of "stable use" where as long as no more than 2 cars are being driven each day you can have them all on a good rate, I've also had no issues with claims through them. Note they won't insure a car if you take it to the track, even for an off track claim. Shannons are another option but I had a lot of trouble with their claims (they were happy to take the premiums, not so keen to pay out), and I'm sure there are other import specialists too 
    • I'm a lifelong home drummer, was in a couple of bands as a teenager/early 20's then moved to Japan and didn't play at all until 2019 when my missus and I were invited to check out the band room upstairs at a restaurant cafe here in JP. They had a full acoustic drum kit and they let me have a bash for about 20 mins. I went away from there wondering how I could not play for 19 years.... Missus bought me a e-drum kit a few weeks later (Yamaha DTX402) which is basic but lets me play at home in my tiny Japanese house.  Also have an Epiphone Les Paul and little Vox amp and delay pedal I bought for the missus because she wanted to learn to play the guitar, but she never got into it. That was about 8 years ago. I taught myself to play some 80's U2 song riffs like the Fly solo, etc and some other things but being a drummer I don't really have the dexterity in the fingers lol. Ham fisted if you will. So I kind of just mess around with the guitar rather than try to seriously play complete songs. My son on the other hand inherited all my side of the family's musical talent and is a brilliant classical pianist at 16 years old. He'll go on to do something in the music industry here for sure once he finished his schooling. I got him a Yamaha NU1XA hybrid piano earlier this year.
    • If the BOV is plumbed in as mentioned, like stock.... why exactly would it stall? It'd be like stock. Do stock cars stall with stock bovs?
    • You mean a rich spike, as the air has been metered multiple times due to the turbulent air, you end up injecting more fuel causing a momentary dip in torque and quite possibly a stall event. TL;DR, install a Haltech Elite or S3 or R3, convert to DBW, throw all ancient shit into the bin and enjoy the car.
