Buying an r32 gts-t

Financing it so I need (and want) comprehensive insurance.

Rang my normal broker who is a friend and he can't touch it.

Im over 25 but being an import and turbothey just don't touch it.

Who do u guys use, just car? Shannons? Am I going to get bent over? Is it a head f**k?

What can I expect to pay and how to car values go with imports?

Thanks for all your help.

I insurance both my cars under just car. I'm 24, paid about $1200 for the year for the gts-t. Insured for about 12000.

Edit: that's for a r33 gts-t

yeah it all relies on driving record, etc etc.

i got both the liner and missus Beetle thru shannons for 1300 a year. (shannons is owned by suncorp)

expect these numbers man, its HIGH risk vehicle!!!

and if you've lost your liscence and been a silly bugger expect alot more.

cheapest i had on the liner was thru suncorp for 770 a year, but that was market value with a silly excess.

+1 Shannons, great price, policy, and customer service.

definately.

hahaha, u ready to cry people?

Thru Shannons it costs me $550 a year to comprehensively insure my modded to the mother, HKS turboed, R33 GTST (n they know about the mods). (insured for 14k)

Also $500 for my Suzuki GSXR 750.

so that works out that i have an average of 575bhp per tonne (Veyron territory) comprehensively insured for an average of $525 per year

(sorry, it always peps me up when i do those sums)

yummy...

Hmmm they want $1400 a year, seems expensive on a $8000 car?

you must be a miserable driver if you take up that offer. Surely you don't want to fork out 17.5% on insurance .

Just go 3rd party property damage. Why do you need comprehensive on a cheap car. Even 4% is a bit high in my view which is what I pay on my car

Why wouldn't you? For eg coming home from work in my work car and I got crashed into and it was declared my fault. The car was only worth 4 grand but had comp insurance on it. Now if I did not have insurance I was going to be out of pocket what ever it cost for a new work car. But since I did I got 3500 back bought a another car for 2 grand with 1500 to do what ever I like with.

I'd recommend you give the following a call after Just Car and Shannons.

Allianz, NRMA, Suncorp.

They are completely independant (Just car and Shannons are owned by Suncorp but all have different underwriters) of each other and have fluctuations of when they will take on more grey imports. I call them regularly to see if the price I have is crap, hell just after Brisbane floods my premiums on my car went down by $120 and I live in the inner north side. Probably helps that my street etc is not a flood zone though =P

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.

      Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.

      I would like more noise related info for my truly uneducated guess  Does it do it at idle or when revving, clutch engaged, and disengaged? Does it only do it when the car is moving? I've heard "similar" noises from a clutch pack that left the chat room, and CV joints that have chewed themselves out But as Matt said, how's the yokes, tailshaft and centre bearing going after their last little issue Fingers crossed it is something simple  Weird noises make me cringe

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      One other question, is there a chance that changing the idle speed can lead you down a rabbit hole and is the reason the tuner didn't touch it? Reason I ask is because if that's the reason the tuner avoided it then I probably shouldn't be touching it lol.
