Hey all,

I am 20, turning 21 in July. Living in Montrose, Victoria (a safe area, not many cars get stolen etc). Off my P's in November and are planning to buy a 1996-1998, Series 2, R33 GTS-T, 5 spd manual in November when im off my P's. My driving record is flawless, not a single fine/conviction.

I thought that being off my P's will make things easier for me insurance wise if im going to be driving a turbo.

I currently drive a 1989, series 3, 5 spd man, R31 Skyline. I am going to to keep the R31 for running around/work and drive the R33 on weekends.

GIO is my current insurer and they are asking me to pay $460 for renewal third party fire and theft insurance and rating me as a Rating 5 driver.

I am pretty sure that GIO won't insure me on the R33 but I have a couple of places to ring to get a quote. All I am asking is does anyone have any insurers they can recommend to me or steer me clear of?

I am hoping to insure both cars with one insurer and save some $$$ because of it. At the moment just car and famous insurance seem like a good idea.

comments/suggestions welcome.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I have found Shannon's to be very helpful and have very competitve rates with a very very good policy.

The Shannon's policy is much more client-friendly than the Famous policy (my previous insurer). Famous have all these restrictions and exorbitant excess if you are the only vehicle involved in an accident and so on.

I'm pretty sure there is an insurance thread kicking around somewhere. Has all the details for the import insurers.

well ive rang around and the best quotes ive had for full comp insurance for a 1996 series 2, GTS-T, 5 spd man. no mods insured for 14k is $1,480 from justcar. and $1,900 for shannons.

my r31 on the other hand, GIO offer me 3rd party fire and theft for $460 and RACV offering $530.

so im going with gio for the r31, have to wait till nov when i get my skyline before i insure.

      Turn signal wiring question

      Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.

      Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
