GT-R Insurance...

[McJeff]

Hey guys,

I'm wondering if any insurance company will cover 17 Y.O. male driving R32 GT-R? if so, how much i'll pay for Comphersive or 3rd party?

Regards

Probably not if there smart enuf, cause that car is on the list of banned cars for people on P's. Just ask vic roads to fax you a copy of the banned power to weight car list.

But you could give it a try anyway....

18 years of age. Loss of license twice. $4500 worth of wheels. Remote locking etc.

$6202 a year plus $2800 for the excuses plus another $1000 excuses for the wheels.

No idea on 3rd party. Unless your parents are paying for the insurance, don’t buy a GTR.

*edit spelling*

im assuming you will be on your p plates will make the car too powerful under the power to weight rule. most insurance policies will charge you tons to get it (if you ever can) but they will have a clause to say if you are driving this car illegally according to state road laws then you cannot make a claim. ie: cos you are violating the power to wieght rule you can't claim and you won't have any insurance if you stack despite you actually paying a yearly figure.

[paulr33]

if you still wanna get it, then get 3rd party

but i'd do an advanced driving course a 17yr in a gtr is stupid

had to be said

Is that car in the picture still around? Looks good for parts. I need a few bits...!!

i think there should be power laws in all states..........keep p platers out of nice cars. less mines datsuns. less to pay for insurance. less written off skylines......

GTR - 17 - bad idea

There could be a slim few who would insure you. I say Just Cars and Suncorp. But they don't tell you directly they don't want your business. They'll just give you a nice $10k per year to let you know your not wanted.

17 year old in a GTR - i would of wanted one when i was 17 if i knew about them

but now 6 years later, i realise i probably would of killed myself

[Chris32]

I got my GTSt when I was 19, nearly killing myself within 5 minutes of owning it was a big wake up call for me.

Powerful turbo cars with drivers with very little or no experience is a bad idea - a GTR at 17 is a VERY bad idea.

Not saying every under 20 driver is a bad driver, but everyone does something stupid when they are that age, and the fact is a car like a turbo Skyline things happen before you realise - and sometimes its to late

I live in a semi-rural area, with lots of hilly roads. On the way into work I drive past 5 fatal crash sites within 2 minutes of my house, all drivers under 20, in newish fast cars

If you do manage to get a GTR or anything even half fast, advance driver course is a minimum, and also try and keep passengers out of the car

becasue at 17, in a GTR, the chances of a big mis-hap are immense

Hey guys,

i own '90 RB30 Patrol with factory turbo upgrade (140Kw)... it behaves bit like VL Turbo when wet day all because it got no LSD it has factory diff-lock for offroading instead... GT-R runs on AWD.

I hope to use GT-R for club events or something like that it's not like i use it everday... i've seen some P platers driving ex cop VL BT1... they even get insured for 300+ Kw at rear wheels... in Vic! so your point being i'm stupid to get GT-R?

i know BCNR33 is heavier than BNR32 and BNR34 so it could be allowed as long i kept it stock?

Theyre hardly comparable even if they both are AWD. The skyline is strictly a RWD car which will put torque to the front wheels if you loose traction, or its sensors think it would be beneficial to do so.

*Every* GTR owner I have ever spoken to has scared the living shit out of themselves the first time they experiance ATTESSA (basically, the car sideways then suddenly grabbing and lurching forward). Id be confident in saying a GTR is a fairly unique car in its driving charecteristics, with almost nothing comparable to it when you push it to its limits (and believe me you will... youre young and youre not buying a GTR to put around in).

With a mindset like youve shown above "i own a '90 RB30 Patrol.... GT-R runs on AWD." I have one favour to ask... if you do get the car please keep away from me until you learn the basic principles that every car is different, and just because you have driven one AWD before doesnt mean you know how to *control* a GTR.

Theyre very unforgiving cars, and all it takes is one "watch this bro" moment and it will bite you in the ass.

no offence but you seem to generalise every 17-20 year old as a mine datsun...it may shock you but not every "young" driver is stupid on the road..yes most are but not ALL are stupid some are responsible. If hes able to afford one and insurance and wants to do driver trainning courses let him... no one knows what his driving habbits is like.

[Mr R32 M-Spec]

I don't know you, or your driving habbits.

but I don't think a Nissan patrol (4WD, tank land cruiser looking thing I'm assuming) is anything like a GTR, no comparrison. I am looking at getting a GTR at the end of the year and I am almost 22, me at 17 in a GTR, wouldn't have ended well.

I have had a quote from just cars with a 50% no claim on full comp, 6 point immobiliser alarm, near stock, 89 model GTR. garaged overnight, no claims or acco's on my history and a secure car park during the day.

They asked for the princely sum of, da da da da.... $4K a year.

stuff that. I'm 22 mate, with a good record, I would be too scared to ask how much even for third party. maybe you should just try a GTST first and get used to it, then move on later to the GTR.

cheers
