I Just rang Suncorp Metway for a quote for my soon to be R33 GTST and I got Quoted for full cover $961 a year :uh-huh:

The guy on the phone couldn't believe it himself he said he has never seen a quote for a import Skyline that low he had to go and check with his supervisor to make sure it was correct.

It's bloody cheaper then my 323 SP20:(

It aint easy being under 25 with a sports car. Id rather take my chances with third party fire and theft than pay 4 grand a year. You only live once and you havent lived till youve owned a skyline :D How corny is that haha

yep, I would never not have comprehensive...especially since I have had a personal loan for every car i've owned and my parents always said to me "just think what it would be like - still having to pay back that loan, but with no car" :D

I totally agree, forget different days, just ring straight back and speak to someone else. The price can vary by $1000.

to be completely honest, i think its up to the individual if they want to comprehensively insure their car, ...

i really get annoyed when people say, oh if you can afford the insurance then you cant afford the car, yes you can, you have the car,

i recently got a quote for 8600 a year, from NRMA, with my r32 gtst being worth around 16000(i put that in as agreed value)

now if anyone here would pay that, then you deserve to be shot...

Prank, i can understand paying that amount for a gtr.. its worth atleast twice my gtst... and i would be more then happy at paying half of what you do to insure my car..

i just had a nice think about it, now...

last year as most of you know i went through a barbed wire fence...

now, lets say i wasnt insured.. it would have cost about 7800 all up, including me changing the front bar, and color which didnt need to be done,

now people might say, i didnt damage much, but remember 90% of the car had to be resprayed because of the barbed wire..

so if i had that same crash, and same cost this year, and didnt have insurance, i have saved 800, on the premium, dont forget the excess which is 800 aswell..

now, the way i think of it best is to sorta insure yourself.. have a look at the premiums, and simply save that much over the year, or as quick as you can, and put in it an invester account, which you can access if need be, but it earns more money, and then same thing next year... but once you have the valued amount of your car, no more doing it. because a) your money will grow untill you take the money out.. and B) the worst you could do is right it off, costing you the amount you have saved...

paying half the cost of the car to insurance company is ludachrist.

Are you asking me PranK? If so mine is stock at the moment. But they never asked me for any extras or mods.

I did ring Suncorp Metway a couple of days earlier and they Quoted me about $940 a year, but he did tell me that it could change, I got the quote number of him so I have about a week to act on the $961 Quote.

I also asked them if a alarm would make a difference in price but he said that it wouldn't make a difference.

I'll have to ring them again to see how they are about mods and how much more they would charge.

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
