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'?

    • Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.
    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?
