What insurance companies are best to insure skyline with?? For an under 25 year old :/

thats going to be tough Kath. I dont know any insurance companies that are going to be cheap to cover skylines for under 25's.

Have a go at Just-Car and Shannons - but be ready for a not so pretty quote :unsure:

This

Third party minimum. Fully comp would depend on the quote and how much you can afford. Also no point insuring a 5 or 6k car for 2k a year. may aswell put that 2k into a savings account for an uh oh fund. Consider it your own insurance. Insurance is very dependent on personal circumstances.

Don't crash? Get a full comp quote and then go from there. It might be cheap enough on a non turbo etc. I had my GTR insured with Just Car when I was 18 and that was an entirely different story. Think $3k/year and like $4.5k excess. $5k if stolen lol. But the car was insured for 30k so I had piece of mind.

If I may be so rude, how much are you paying for the car? If it is under 7k I wouldnt bother with fully comp.

Yep just cars and shannons are the only ones that will look at you. Shannons you need to have the car in a lock up garage.

5k and Shannon's won't even look at me cos I'm 18... They were so rude to me. Like ohh we can't insure you cos your 18 have a good day. I'm like well then... Bum bums

I got a good quote for $1900 from nrma

Third party sounds like the go. Try not to crash it and save the money on insurance as a rainy day fund. Paying $1900/yr on insurance you're not likely to use seems pretty silly to me.

Go at your own pace, perfect oportunity to get some coaching too from a more experienced driver. Most of the guys wouldn't have an issue with doina a few laps in the passenger seat and helping with some pointers. Confidence and coaching help develop driver skills. That and a whole lot of practice.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
