Well it has been exactly one year since I bought the GT-R and it was time to renew my insurance. I received the renewal in the mail, opened it expecting a slight reduction ($3500 for the first year, 22 year old), to my surprise found out I will be paying only $2200 this year, that's a $1300 drop after the first year!! How great is that?:D

Has anyone experienced such a huge drop in their insurance? Just shows that skyline owners are great drivers :)

And before anyone ask's I am with Just Cars.

This just made my week:) .

hi stew,

we must have bought our gtr's at the same time! mines red and 1993 too! which area are you in? dont seem to bump into you at all?? i'm in the southside. i didnt get a drop in my insurance costs this renewal :) that's why i changed insurers from suncorp to nrma! they were cheaper by $400!

it was a pleasant suprise for me too because a year ago, i called nearly all insurers in the yellow pages and was only able to find 4 insurers willing. this year, many more insurance companies seem to be willing to insure imports...they must all be quite greedy as they all see that you could charge an arm and leg and be able to get away with it!

I live on the northside, Narangba. Noone lives out here:) .

I was shocked at first, checked all the details to make sure everything was right and it was. An extra $1300 to spend else where:D .

That not too bad. I have just sold an investment property and made a tidy profit and am currently toying with the idea of buying a GTR. That insurance you quote is less than a grand more than what I pay now for my GTST and I am 26 with a rating 1. I though it would be worse than that. That is one more for the for column. Lets see, 1000 fors and 1 against for buying a GTR. MMMMMM, might have a GTR yet before the years out.

I travel around the Northside quite a bit, used to live in Caboolture and still go up there a bit to see the folks. Maybe I shall see you around up there!

ph, has it increased with the modification level, have you been naughty, anything like that?

It would cost me 1200 or so to insure comprehensively, with bulk excess.

Something to do with all these fines and modifications....

Still a bit of a ripoff for a car with $4000 market value at best.

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
