does anyone know roughly how much it will be for insurance (3rd party i think) for an r33? red P plates.. im on my L's and getting them soon and wondering

cheers

Depends upon a variety of factors.

Some of the insurance websites like NRMA allow for online quotes.

I'd expect around 3-4k for a Red P-Plater with an R33 Skyline GTS25.

Very expensive unfortunately.

EDIT: Just read that you said 3rd party insurance, allow for 1-2k.

Go to....

Insurance councils website, search for phone numbers and call companies or go online.

No one here will know or do it for you.

No one here will have the same price as you.

Hey buddy, I'm a Second year green P plater with no insurance claims or loss of licence,

I Pay $94 dollers a month for third party with NRMA, I also have 2 Years roadside assistance membership and Do my Greenslip with them.

I Use to pay $185 per month with JUST CARS for full comprehensiveI, don't see the point now on a car only worth 8k.

Comprehensive for my R34 would have costed me $6.5k with NRMA for 21 y/o and fresh red Ps. Excess would be $2400.

Cars regoed under my dad as well as insurance which ended up to cost $1.4k. I say rego under your dads name or someone who would do it for you, who is over the age of 25 and have had 5 years on their license with no previous accidents.

Recently got into an accident and I'm gutted for $2.4k (still in process to prove that its not my fault).

Most companies wotn let you rego an import under someone elses name, and if they do, They WILL base the premuim on the highest risk IE the youngest driver.

full comp for me in R33 red p at 19yr old was about 2.7k wil a 3000 excess, Fully garaged in a decent area.

Good luck with that if you have an accident. They may not even pay a claim if you are driving it or deny insurance due to no disclosure.

Best to be up front and honest and build up your own No Claim Bonus rating..

this, be truthful, pay more at the start, end up saving down the track.

As a matter of fact, I recently got into an accident and a claim has just been lodged and pending. I'm covered as a non-frequent driver or whatever they call it.

By no means am I saying I'll be reporting anything; it's just that some companies take a more stringent approach than others.

I've heard stories in the past of someone my mum works with - her son drove her car (fairly new Corolla) a few times a week, and when there was a prang, the insurer (GIO) went around the neighbourhood asking how often he drove the car, as he was on there as a very limited use driver.

I'm not saying all insurers are like that - it's just something I've heard. And being a Skyline, I'm sure if they were into that kind of thing, they'd be more likely to do it.

Food for thought, is all.

Insurers have been known to recover payouts they've made after finding things written on websites, such as the above.

I've heard of one insurer having had paid out an accident that had occured on a racetrack, they were told it happened on the road. Owner bragged of "beating the system" he was quickly taken to court, and all money recovered.

Was it an R33 GTR, Matt?

Insurance companies aren't stoopid. Do the right thing and insure it under your name or if someone else has a financual interest in it (ie parent) then at least have yourself listed as a nominated driver.

I have done this with my younger brother before so he can drive any of my cars.

True, and then the young'un might (but not always) get a step up to a better no claim bonus when they take on responsibility with their own stand-alone policy.

The only (and personal) hitch is, what does the parent say when the insurer asks, "Now how often will the nominated driver be driving this vehicle?"

Of course we tell the truth don't we? Or the 'truth'?

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
