Not too sure about Lumley's; I think they are trying to rort me - I am insuring a 350GT sedan for $26,000, I am 29, living in Sydney, storing a car in my garage and have a perfect driving history and they want $1,693. Mellowman - you must have a real sexy voice or something!

Did some ringing around today. My details are 36 years old, in Townsville, no claims or negatives bar 1 <15km/h speeding ticket in the last 5 years. Insuring 2003 V35 coupe premium auto with factory optioned wheels, frontbar + fogs, momo steering wheel, rear spoiler agreed value $32000.

Lumley = $926 with $1kxs, $811 with $1500xs

Famous = $966 with set $600xs - no option to reduce premium by increasing xs. (These guys were cheapest with my R33gtst with plenty of mods at $825)

Suncorp = $800 with $1050 flexible xs. Not that I'd go with them after the way they recently treated a friends claim. Also was quite amusing that they had no record of the V35 coming in any option but manual or CVT - not confidence inspiring!

Shannons - wouldn't cover me as I don't have a lockup garage.

NRMA = $1483 with $500xs

Just Cars = $965 with $400xs down to $579 with $1500xs.

Hoping to not jinx myself but as I've had no claims ever I'm happy to take the higher excess and cheaper premium option with Just Cars. I feel for you guys in Sydney!

Just Car, hi risk Melb Suburb (near st albans), garaged, 35yo rating 1 with very high agreed value $38k which should well cover all the nav & alarm stuffs / mods i'm putting into the car. 03' v35 coupe auto. Single driver only, no blemish driving history - $997/yr with $500 excess or $960 / yr with $1000 excess and rating 1 protection.

Hello, :ermm:

My name is John from Sydney and I am a new to this thread.

I'm planning to buy a 350GT in any time soon...(will post a pic soooooonnnnnnnnn~~)

Just a quickie:

Who provides your insurance and how much are you paying??

11

When I got my first Nssan Skyline 350 GT8 abut 18 months ago it was $1350 p/year Just Cars

My lastest Nissan Skyline 350GT Coupe 6 speed was$850 p/year just cars

Good luck you will have fun

for those of you in queensland and about to get rego - if you can get a quote from someone that nrma can't match, nrma will pay you $50 under their quick 50 campaign (not sure when this promo ends though). just fax the quote to 1 300 364 238, attention to Resolution Quick 50. it's not just for the v35 either, as long as the vehicle is garaged in queensland.

i guess if you want details, you can call 1 800 640 595 (nrma quick 50 section). hope someone can get money from them.

Ok wow - Business or private insurance?

My V35 Premium with 100% stock everything with a value placed against it of only $30,000 is going to cost me $1034 Internet deal or $1084 phone deal, My suburb must suck compared to yours!!!

$400 excess $900 theft excess...

No free windscreen offer though!

I am 33 going on 34 with rating 1. Shannons after 11 years of Insurance refuse to insure this car for me as I do not have a lock up garage :P

As mentioned Just Cars requires an Australian standard Immobilser - My V35 Premium has a little sticker on the drivers side window / triangle showing a key through an engine with "SECURITY" written under it.

Question 1: does this equal an immobilser? (definitely not an alarm)

Question 2: Does this comply to insurance requirements for Oz standard?

Does anyone know if just cars gets cheaper with 2 or more cars insured on the one contract? Shannons did! :kiss:

Yes it is an imobiliser.

No it doesn't count.

Grab an alarm anyways, for peace of mind! The Autowatch 446P that Chris fitted me seems to get a good rap.

Digging up an old thread here but this was really helpful to me when I was researching insurance so i thought it only fair to share my experiences also...

25yo male with perfect driving record, garaged in Belmont WA, manual, coupe 350GT insured for $36K paying $1040 with Lumleys and excess of $500.

As a comparison my 33 insured for $17K was $1160... amazing that this car is more than double the value but is cheaper, different ownership demographic I guess.

another tip, the agreed value r set in price brackets... say if u insure it btw 36k and 40k, its set to a price level :), u'll prob find that if u increase ur agreed value to 40k, ur premium won't change :)

An update on Lumleys (LSV Insurance formerly Torque Insurance)

Spoke to them yesterday about a V35 I am about to pick up changing over from my Stagea (currently insured with LSV)

I was told that they no longer insure daily drivers and are reverting back to classic, vintage cars only that are driven once or twice a week.

They are honouring existing customers but not taking new customers or insuring a different car for an existing customer

So now the hunt for a new insurer begins and delays me getting into the V35

    • Ahh...should have been clearer ~ there's 2 ... SMJ = super multi junction (connector)...   ...this is connector 6 & 25 in above image -- body harness to engine loom (6) & body harness to main loom (25) Headlights go to front via connector 6 ; fuel gauge goes to tank sender via connector 25  ...like I say this is R33 diagrams, but at a pinch R34 won't be too far different. *IF* the two ground faults are related, this can be the only place where both wires converge (as one runs to the back, the other to the front)... ....thing is, you probably need to establish if the faults are related (unless you examine that area and find obvious chaffing on the looms there to body ground)....*IF* the fuel gauge is still broken (full needle deflection), I'd be headed for the boot, remove fuel sender wire, key on and measure the voltage there ~ it should be roughly 10volts. If that's ok, check sender to ground resistance...if this is a dead short to ground (and there's fuel in it), then sender has failed or something funky has happened to wiring in the tank. edit: ahh...rereading the thread, this is R32....above fuel sender test still valid tho'
    • I just changed the timing belt on my RB25DET NEO and wanted to get some opinions. I’ve been super cautious, did a lot of research, and took my time. I’ve driven the car, and it runs fine. After warming it up, I revved it to 8000 RPM a few times—no issues, everything held up.   After the drive, I heard a noise that I think is either the clutch or possibly a tight accessory belt. It’s not constant, just comes and goes.   I took the timing cover off to double-check everything:   Belt is on properly, Tensioner is tight, Did the 90-degree twist test—belt isn’t too tight or too loose.     What still worries me is that I noticed the belt seems to sit a little toward the front edge of the gears, especially on the idler pulley. It even looks like it’s slightly coming off the edge there. Is that normal?   My old belt (5 years old, ~3,000 miles) also showed a bit of wear on that same edge, so maybe it’s just how it sits? I’m probably overthinking this, but since it’s my first time doing this on a NEO and the engine is forged, I really don’t want to mess anything up.   Also, I’m thinking of swapping to a clear front timing cover with the glass window. Would you recommend NITO or HPI? HPI looks reputable and their covers have 2.5mm thickness, but not sure if there’s a real difference between the two.   Any advice or reassurance would be much appreciated!
    • 40 grit sounds about right, to start. You make some decent cuts/damage in the coating with that, then rapdily scale up to maybe 80 and 120 for the bulk of the actual removal, then fine it off to 180 or 240 perhaps. No need to go any finer than that, and maybe no need to go even as fine as that. Wrap it on a big block and have at it. At least on the hub face.
    • Do the GKTech rear lower control arm mount relocation, and either alloy subframe inserts or very stiff subframe bushes. Traction is going to be at a premium!
    • Hello,   My name if Frederick, i'm 30 years old and I live in Belgium, Europe! I used to have a Nissan 370z daily but since I got a company car I turned that into my seattime driftcar. About 3 years ago I also wanted something older with more feel, so I got an R32 GTST with an rb26 engine. I am now getting the rb built to have around 800hp and it's close to being finished. I'm very excited for how it will drive and how driveable it will be! Regards, Fred!
