i am looking to buy an r33 gts-t but i need a price for insurnace i am 18 had my p's for like 6 months has any one got full comp on there r33 gts-t and would they mine telling me who they are with and how much and your age

hahaha, I just called everywhere for a quote today....im in the exact situation as u, im 18, got my P's 2 months ago, and want to insure a r33 series 2 gts non turbo...only Just Car and Famous would insure it, any other companies wouldnt even touch it, and funny thing is, both companies want $2893 for full comp....third party was $397 and third party with fire+thief was $647....so i decided to go with third party fire+thief......

anyway, what state r u in?...u sure u can drive a turbo when ur on ur P's?

Just get 3rd party fire and theft, that way your covered if you run up the arse of a Mercedes or your car gets stolen.

At that price per year for full comp plus the crazy excess they charge, you could fix your car privately for cheaper.

Melbourne has had the no turbo or V8s for p-platers since last year havent they :X

i am 19 and second year p's... i own a r33 gtst.

i am insured (full comp) with just car for about 1600

excess in about 2000

damn you!

when i was 19 and 2nd year of ps it was $2363! im from nsw, but nowhere near sydney. how gay.

and the excess was standard + vehicle $1500 and then theres an age excess something like $2000. so its really like a $3500 excess!

waste of money in hindsight, im 11 months in, and got nothing to show for it.

If you're driving a R33 GTSt and you're on your P's, you're still gonna get rapped by the police when you get pulled over. You could lose 3 demerit points and get a max fine of $1100. It doesn't matter if you've got your licence before 1st of July 07, R33 GTSt's are over the power to weight ratio.

Keep in mind that the insurance company might agree to cover you, but once you crash and make a claim, they'll just reject it and say that you were driving an illegal car, they don't have to pay out.

wow.....thats exactly what my parent said to me...thats why i ended up getting a gts....

but yea...$2900 for full comp per yr is just a joke...thats like 1/4 of my car lol

so im just gonna get 3rd party+fire+theft for 650 and hope i wont hit anyone.....

How about before posting another insurance thread, you use the search function. there is a sticky thread up the top on general section. and this has been discussed many times.

Also - there is no point asking what everyone else pays. Everyone is a different risk, therefore everyones premiums etc are different.

lock thread please mods :teehee:

Just cars

N/A R33 4 door = Started at $1100 forst year now down to $849 thrid year in

Turbo would only have made a 50 - $80 difference (increase obviously!!!) so said the insurance dude quoting me!!

I was 22 at the begining of my R33 4 door experience and nobody else wanted to know about imported cars, they were like "skyline???......................is that japanese!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

If you're in Melbourne and you got your license prior to July 2007, you are not allowed to drive a 'high-powered vehicle'. To determine if your car is a 'high-powered vehicle', use the allowed power-to-weight ratio.

125kw / 1000kg.

So if you are driving a stock gross weight R33 GTS-T, the power-to-weight ratio would be about 135kw / 1000kg, exceeding the limit. However, you must also consider other weight; passengers, fuel, etc.

But either way, most cops aren't going to know. With insurance companies? As long as you have the money, they're happy.

But when the time comes for you to claim something, they'll reject you and be even more happy!

hahahahahahahahhaha

And because you were driving illegally, you will be reamed with no claim pay out regardless at fault or not :D

    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
