Hey guys before you tell me there is already a topic for insurance I know I read the whole thing it didnt help. What I was wondering is where NA people have gone for there skyline. Is it still classed as performance? Like the turbo ones? I'm on my P's so any quote I get is going to be pretty big for Compo. I was just wondering what kinda quotes other P platers had gotten and from where.

I went to JustCar and they quoted my mum around 850; so yeah - Try them...

Just Car. It's still classified as an import, so you pay around $1000 in vehicle excess in addition to other excesses.

In Brisbane I found it to be couple hundred dollars less than a factory turbo skyline.

:blush: Where are you trying to get it insured? My first year with JustCar based on bit over a year of being on my provisional licence, was $1581 for my N/A Skyline. About $1680 after doing suspension, wheels, stereo brakes etc.. then after 1s year with them it dropped to $1275. Now I think it's around $1350 a year after doing turbo conversion. I'm 22 as well for a couple of more months, so still under 25. $4k a year for insurance is just mental! I know that in Brisbane yeah it's cheaper, but even in NSW I don't think it gets that high...

well i think its cause i had lost my liscense on my l's when i had my motorbike. just cars said it will drop heaps this year when i insure it again with them, i wasn't pissed of with the price i just payed it, the 180 was worked and had top stuff in it. just ring around places mate but i will go with just cars they are honest and will look after you...

i pay 2160 per year with custom cars (GIO) in monthly installments of $198. at the time worked a bit better for me as i couldnt afford $2k up front in one hit which is what just cars wanted me to do. mind you at the time i was 17 and on my Ls and had just bought my car so i was broke hardcore >_<. just car and custom cars were the only two i could find that would even bother considering me.

will re-evaluate this year tho :bunny: along with custom plates. aiming to keep my driving record as clean as possible to reduce my excess

I got an online quote from just car for a 5000$ r32 and they want 2412$ a year for comprehensive. Is that right for 17? Cas if it is, theres no way thats worth it.

had mods done?

mods will push up the price a bit. also because your 17 your a high risk, and the car would be classed as a high performance grey import, hence your screwed >_<

My quote for JustCars was around the $2500 mark for an 18 yr old but I only just got my P's so thats why the quote is high. With JustCars they ask how long you've had your license for, now i'm assuming that means your P's as it's the first proper license? So how do you answer that question if your still on your L's? My sister wants to insure her car but is still on her L's.

I think I might just spend the $500 and get Third Party F&T for now until my rating improves as I don't drive my car like a hoon and I *fingers crossed* won't do something to write off my car. And then once my rating improves i'll get compo and hopefully by then my car will look nicer too :)

true enough, but there are some real dickheads on the roads. if they hit you or your in an accident caused by them, your still screwed

ive been registered with just car for 2 years now..Im 19 turning 20 this year and when i first got my quote for the 4 door 34 it was ridiculous.. they tried charging me more because it wasnt on there list that they can come in 4 door.. unfortunatly as much as they charge they beat any other insurer from who ive got quotes from. AAMI FULL COMP 3.5k...... YEAH GET F***ED

and also yes its classed as a 'sports car' i tried saying mine was a japanese family car LOL

Yea i'm worried bout not having compo but in my opinion i'd be better off putting the 2.5k+ away into my bank account and save it for a rainy say rather than hand it over for "possibly" no reason to an insurance company. I know this is what your always gonna do insure "in case shit" but when it's 2.5k it seems kinda pointless... especially when the car is stock at the moment and not really hard to replace.

I'm insured with Shannons and I pay by the month they were cheeper than Just Car and GIO, I then got a discoumt because I added my daily drive [94 Magna 3rd party]. Then the daughter got her car I just added it to my other 2, so in the end all 3 car are with shannons and it cost me $99/ month,

The Skyline is full comp the others are 3rd party

i got my r34 insured with shannons, originally had her with H2P here in adelaide but ended up having quite a few issues with them.

but im happy with my policy and what the 34 is insured for...........at least i know with shannons everything is covered and not like my previous insurer where they could pick and choose what they wanted to pay out if anything happened.

    • This is lower price now given apparently nobody wants these or needs them. It's 550 but if someone sees it on SAU and wants to make an offer, please do so.
    • LS is a good motor, but it hurts my soul when I see it in a RB. Guess it fixes the oiling issues lol.
    • I'm confused. Does this qualify as "Gregging" or are you somehow avoiding the Gregging?
    • More assembly going on, with all sorts of "bolt right on bro" scenarios going on here. Smartly, PTV clearance was checked. And I say smartly because it turns out that the intake was 0.009" from piston meeting valve. This is 0.23mm. This is very not okay. A fast meeting was facilitated between engine builder in Australia and engine builder in the USA which was actually incredibly helpful and constructive actually, various ideas thrown around to get around this issue including: 1) Retard the cam timing which would have brought the exhaust valve closer to meeting piston (it was 0.065") which was uncomfortably close to begin with, and change the cam profile making it 'laggier' 2) Much larger head gaskets which would reduce compression, but half the point of this was to increase compression. 3) New set of pistons ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$) 4) All of the above 5) Get ghetto The concept is you get sticky sandpaper and stick it back to a valve, slightly larger than the valve you/I'm using, like say from a LS3/rectangle port head. You now have a very super advanced flycutting tool to modify your pistons in your block. Then you install it in your head, and attach the other end of the head to a drill. Then you just replicate your valve smashing into a piston with your spinning drill.   This is the result. Repeat many times. It is strongly recommended you have some kind of fixed stop when doing this for extremely obvious reasons because if you press too hard then you're well into apocalyptic repercussion land. The minimum clearance on the intake valve is now 0.075" this is still in the "Too close to be really comfortable" and into "It should be fine" land. Supposedly in the real world the clearances will be slightly bigger. Guess this is what happens when people push envelopes for N/A engines instead of adding boost! Time to move onto the new, upgraded, higher ratio roller rockers from Yellaterra, all tapped and threaded with a stronger bolt for better stability. Very nice. Lets see how they fit. For f**ks sake. Time to bring the grinder out for these aftermarket, machined and CNC'd heads. Looks like the new, beefier rocker from YellaTerra has gone from Bolt on part to "Bolt on part". Well, lets see how this bolt on crank scraper and windage tray goes then, shall we? There actually is more clearance than they specify for this thing, but seeing it all move as you check it is terrifying when you see it all so very very very very nearly hit things. But after all, this is what the item is designed to do after all and actually did bolt on perfectly and have enough clearance to everything and some very clear and direct instructions. So +1 to Improved Racing I suppose. As above with the windage tray on. Photo of breaker bar wonkiness for added lols. Next up: Oil pump/front cover/water pump/sump and then it's time to actually install the heads, pushrods, head bolts, valve cover gaskets and such is all there and ready to go. (except the oil pump bolts which were previously longer for more clearance with the previously perfectly installed double row timing chain). There's definitely a sense that someone other than us has been here before and done everything perfectly, or at least considered it and came up with working solutions. Perhaps the previous cam was 6deg advanced to avoid PTV issues with the milled stock heads? In any case when I attempt to sell this stuff the buyers are going to be very directly informed.
    • my catch can is pretty easy to empty but it overflows due to the blowby/crank case pressure etc. max I have drained is ~600ml even with a ~2.3L capacity. So it is not just about having to drain it out its the mess it makes down the firewall and under the car and rear passenger tyre from the overflow oil being blasted by screamer + air in general. Ending up on the ground cleaning the oil up and having oil on your arms when everyone else can chill and watch the other sessions gets old fast
