There's no much such thing as inheriting their rating 1, you need to start at the bottom and work your way up like everyone else.

Ah ok, someone said if its in their name and I'm the youngest driver i get it after 6 months... :S or sommin like that

if the car is registered in your parents name, you can be nominated as a secondary driver, and save on the premium. im pretty sure this wont work towards a no-claim bonus of any description, since its insured in the parents name, not yours.

just car 3rd party + fire + theft for me was $750, easy. 20yo male, r33 turbo.

Cheapest way for me was go insure the skyline (for my agreed value of 22.5k) with Shannons on an occasional use policy for $720 22yo male, no claims or thefts, and drive an LPG shitbox day to day. Insurance costs save me heaps and fuel saves me even more. But the best thing is that my car feel fast (at least for the first 15 mins) each time i drive it!

Plus i dont worry about the skyline getting, hit, vandalised, scraped in a carpark etc.

What?

I believe that Hamish meant, don't lie in your applications for insurance. If you get caught it can really come back to haunt you later.

I have heard people have issues where they have been driving as the nominated driver on someone else's insurance with no personal insurance history of their own. When they tried to get their own policy, they started from scratch. Can anyone confirm this?

There ARE plenty of insurance threads on these boards so have a look around. Being rating 1 and 25+ helps a lot. I can't wait to see if I get a new discount at 30, to go along with the first "life crisis".

Cheers.

What are the options for under 25?

Shannons said they wont insure anything twin turbo. So apparently if I go get a single turbo manifold and chuck a T51 on there its fine, but a couple of R34 N1's is out of the question...

Famous were just plain rude.

Just car will give me 1597 a year on a aggreed value of 23.5. Not too bad all things considered, but id like to at least see if I can get a competitive quote.

your best bet will be shannons they are a little bit more expensive but you get choice of repairer one free windscreen a year (ask bout it when you sign up) and the excess is usually low.... or im using just car they are kinda fair as far as im concerned...

the only other thing you have to watch out for is dont lower your premium by uping your excess it might sound like a good idea at the time but the one off chance you have an accident you dont wana have to find anywhere up to 5g's before you can get your car back...

Also recommend Shannons if they'll insure you. Their policy is good and in my experience they're often the cheapest too.

When I first got a full comprehensive policy I went through the NRMA. They gave me a maximum no-claim bonus because I'd had 3rd party property insurance through them for a few years on my previous car.

So if you have an existing policy of some kind, see if you can negotiate something with the same insurance company.

      S15 Spec R

      Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next.

      Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
