28, R34GTT, $35,000 cover, ~$1200 premium, Shannons, Parked in garages at work and home in relatively nice areas, classed as moderately modified by Shannon's. I am up for a price rise after the next set of mods which will take me into the "heavily" modified class.

Being old and rating 1 helps :thumbsup:

Yeah rating 1 does help. You can secure it with just cars.

I'm 21, and my R34 GTR is insured for $53,000 and i paid exactly $1220 full comprehensive. I'm with Just Cars insurance. They put me on their highest rating which is a rating 5. it was originally gonna be $1185 but for an extra $35 dollars, if i ever have an accident at my fault, my rating does not go down. Insurance varies from place to place. If you were living in a big city then they would definitely be ass raping you for insurance. Having an accident record would definitely make you pay higher for insurance too.

yep. insurance is hella expensive. especially if you're under 25.

just car confidently quoted me $4000.

why should they be anything but confident?

no other insurer wants to touch an import.

insurance for the skyline is highly dependent on the suburb you live in. i.e there is no point comparing a SA, NT premium to a sydney premium. Unfortunately sydney premiums are high in comparison (generally speaking).

When you hit 25, it goes down, but drive a performance car, be prepared to pay a price for it.

and yes, brace yourself, it may go up, as mine did, and I am 28.

they are covering a NON TURBO Supra for $55,000???? :domokun:

I cant imagine a non turbo Supra being worth $55,000. Oh well, for their sake I hope it isnt written off.

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By myrbgivesmeheadaches · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?

      Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts

      There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)

      What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
