New with some questions.

Hello.

I am looking to buy an R34 GT once I advance to my P plates. I was just on compare the market to see how much insurance would cost and I got a quote of around $3600 from just one company, that didn't seem right to me because I would think there would be multiple insurance companies that would insure such a car right?

I looked at the Famous insurance but everytime I go through the quoting system it just takes forever to load and goes back to the start, on compare the market I also tried getting a quote under my parents name and I got the exact same company with the exact same quote.

What insurance companies are you guys with and are of similar age that provides a good price? I have never been in an accident or anything like that.

Sorry if this gets asked a lot, just want to make sure before I get my heart set on one and then be dissapointed if it's too expensive or what not. Thanks.

Firstly, you should try searching the forum. There's a bunch of threads covering this already.

Secondly, I would suggest steering clear of Skylines as your first car. Or at least, first car on your P's. Get some experience under your belt first. Sounds clieche and you don't wanna hear it, but there's a reason everyone will say it. Not to mention you likely want a Skyline as a performance car, so wait until you're off your P's and get a GTT. That's my 2c on that anyway.

As for insurance, it wouldn't surprise me that you're getting $3k+ quotes. Not a lot of companies will insure Skylines (or other imports) and are especially hesitant to red P platers.

Skyline ownership isn't cheap. Maintenance, insurance, time. Do some research on what you're in for.

    • Hi guys, planning to get 18x9 +25 in fronts and 18x10 +25 in rears been reading the whole thread and cant really find anything   Anyone know if these will fit a r34 gtt with no scrubbing or guard work needed?
    • They usually get made by hand as part of any such swap.
    • Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?
    • I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".
    • No idea about Neil's steering wheel, but I have the same behaviour in the Stagea. I doubt it has ever been messed with so might be normal. Indicating to turn right at a roundabout and correcting even a little bit to the left to go around will cancel the indicator. Never considered it an issue other than it being a bit odd.
