crooser Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 I originally went with Suncorp, much to my surprise when i added the turbo they said that wouldnt affect the premium as i wasnt increasing the displacement (go figure). I dont know if this is different these days, but one things for sure... there is no trickin the insurance companies... if there's a way of getting out of paying, be assured they WILL find it!

Guest Munky Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 I don't mind the wing. Though i might change it later. My dad reckon the cars a bit of a classic and its worth keeping it stock to a certain degree. But I disagree (see plan for underglow) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/37789-r34-gt25-specs/page/2/#findComment-762672 Share on other sites More sharing options...
666DAN Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 I’m with Justcar, don’t try and bullshit the insurance company…it just makes it easier not to pay you out in an accident. I tell them everything...every minor thing on the car, and I’ve been happy with the excellent service. BTW I’m in the same boat as Crooser..my turbo did not increase the premium.

HKS34R Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 Didn't notice much of a difference in power (if at all) with the 3.25". Looks schmick and sounds great. A bit loud down low, but at cruise speed and idleing, can't even notice it. Again, the exhaust is a bit bigger than I needed, but seeing as a turbo is coming soon, I opted for too big to save money down the track. As for the insurance, insuring it in your dad's name is a waste of time. You don't earn any no-claim bonus for yourself, the excess also makes it a waste of time and can also give the insurance company a reason for not paying out too (i.e if you insure a WRX for example in your dad's name, they will not pay if a driver crashes that is under 25!!). Same could apply to your car. I got quote just under $4500 with 0% no claim, no mods and a speeding fine just recently through just cars Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/37789-r34-gt25-specs/page/2/#findComment-764222 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Munky Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 Yeh I think I'll just get third party :| Any insurance against theft? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/37789-r34-gt25-specs/page/2/#findComment-764231 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKS34R Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 To my knowledge, fire an theft is only covered comprehensively in NSW. In QLD I think Suncorp Metway offer the option for just fire and theft. Don't ask me why NSW is different. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/37789-r34-gt25-specs/page/2/#findComment-764303 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pstanbis Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 i only pay circ. $1800 p/a for fully comprehensive in WA, and i have no idea what just 3rd party fire and theft costs, i never asked. After all, how much is your baby worth ? if it was a 2 grand corrola then fine, but not the 'line !

pstanbis Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 pstanbis if my full comp was that much, sure i'd get it, but its quoted at over $4500 :| yeah, fair enough.... $4500 - thats what i got quoted for a turbo ! i think you'll find it goes as much on car value as power - my mates 2001 pulsar costs him $2200 - but it cost him about 7 grand more than my skyline so thats where i got that idea from. Anyone else made the comparison? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/37789-r34-gt25-specs/page/2/#findComment-767877 Share on other sites More sharing options...
