want...might have to ebay a kidney.

Actually, i saw that on ebay last year or earlier this year, so id say its been for sale for a while. A bit like that n1 shell that pops up for sale every so often.

[Owgasm]

Not too bad a price.

Does it run?

[Miguelone]

Do N1 R33's come up often?

[GTR32G]

Yes been for sale for over a year, they dont seem to want to drop the price so may sit around for some time to come... Maybe Terry will snap it up if they drop the price for a track car

[Noy]

Thats a decent write up on the history of this 34.. Oh my numbers will come up one day

[Iron Chef]

An interesting slice of Skyline history, for sure...

$85k is a cheap starting price.

I wonder what the reserve is.

These old bones of mine aren't getting any younger > so "sitting" and "waiting" are dirty words around this house.

L'il Enzo doesn't have any spare stem cells does he? hehe...

I've been thinking of fatz' (er Jenna's) car actually; so you read my mind Brian.

$148,250 is justification to insure your own R34 GTR N1 for a similar amount when it comes time to renewing your policy.

Yep it is

Sure, but the level of modification and history of the car obviously varies, and with that the value.

Depends on what kind of premium you want to pay- I never really understood the need to get the most insured value you can, because it just increases your premium. I understand being under insured insured is not good, however to pay more to the insurance company (for something that realistically to them carries very little risk) seems odd.

[GTR-N1]

The point has been missed.

The Sum Insured can go quite high without the premium going up proportionately.

The insurance company actuary can look at premiums going up from his angle but...

when the amount of cover (sum insured) goes up at a much higher rate than the premium, it's worth it.

It's worth it even to a person who doesn't even nominate this type of car as his business car.

But it's worth it even more, when it is...

I've just changed my insurer (to Dawes); but even in the past year, with Lumleys-SV, my Sum Insured was $106,000 and the Premium including ancillary costs was less than $1,100. Now at this time, I'm prepared to pay a bit more than that for a rare car that's worth a whole lot more.

Thanks for clearing that up Terry. Makes more sense.
