2020 Nissan Skyline 400R V37/Infiniti Q50 RS insurance in NSW


Recommended Posts

Im paying a hell of an insurance at the moment for my car but im sure they are basing it off a R35 GTR price?

When i try to get a quote or even give them my number plate to get to even try they ask is my registration cancelled?

and that they cant find it even though its fully registered.

they tell me there is no 2020 Model Skyline and then i tell them its an Infiniti Q50 Redsport equiv in the USA the insurance is half price to what they setup for me calling the car a Skyline.

this is through NRMA and i tried Allianz and i got the same issue with the model not exsisting.

I know i cant say its an Infiniti because in the case of insurance payout they will just say its not the same car.

i know there is a few V37 Nissan Skyline 400R's in Australia what have you guys done for your insurance?

am i doing something wrong?

Did you buy the car from a dealership here in Australia? I am assuming you did, as to my knowledge you can't import any 2020 Skylines from Japan. In that case it is NOT a 400R and not a Skyline. It is a Q50 Infiniti That is why the insurance companies cannot find your model - a 2020 Nissan Skyline does not exist in Aus. Just because someone might have put Skyline badging and a 400R style front bumper on it, does not make it a Skyline. The people calling their Infinitis 400Rs are kidding themselves - they are not that car, and neither is yours I am pretty sure.

Post a picture of your VIN plate - that will tell the story.

there absolutely is 400R’s here in Australia, no age regulations on imports. 
I checked one out when looking for a q60 rs recently. Had all import paperwork aswell. Carsales lists 3 up for sale aswell.

Yeah they sure are available for import now, its great news :)

Matt, You need an import specialist insurer, nothing has really changed over the years about the mainstream insurance companies not touching them.

I have my cars with Lumley (same group as NRMA etc) because they insure imports and have a good concept of "stable use" where as long as no more than 2 cars are being driven each day you can have them all on a good rate, I've also had no issues with claims through them. Note they won't insure a car if you take it to the track, even for an off track claim.

Shannons are another option but I had a lot of trouble with their claims (they were happy to take the premiums, not so keen to pay out), and I'm sure there are other import specialists too

    • So.... when I'm finally getting around to having my power steering leak sorted, now it looks like I've got the same issue most A/T Skylines are having. My A/T light will randomly come on and I'm stuck in 3rd gear until I turn the car off and on again. Only 3 weeks ago I did a complete transmission service: Oil flush + new gasket + new filter. This came out of nowhere!! It wasn't like the car was driven hard. I drove about 3 mins down the road to get fuel and boom!!!  Anyway, I have a few questions and hope you fine people can help me out here. All questions are in red. 1. The solenoids: I was looking at the parts catalogue in Amayama and I could only find the Solenoids as an assembly. https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/319404ax05 I read in another thread that Solenoid A = 31940-4AX02 & Solenoid B = 31940-4AX05 but the Amayama product has only the code of B. Is this the right part? Can anyone who has done the Solenoid changes or seen them confirm if this is the complete set of A & B?   2. Gasket and Filter: I'm not going to try change the solenoids myself because it seems difficult to do in a home garage with just 2 jack stands. I plan to take it to a shop and get it changed. I was also going to buy the transmission sump gasket at the same time so I don't reuse the same gasket. Should I just use the existing gasket as it has only been on the car since OCT 19th? (~3 weeks) Should I be buying a brand-new gasket and a filter? Does this job involve taking the filter out?   Thanks in advance to everyone. It's hard to find a video of someone doing a solenoid change on a R34 so any help you can give answering my remaining questions would make me less stressed.
    • Yea - From what I have seen from the video, the car idles like any R34 lol 50PSI of fuel pressure is hardly super abnormal, the regulator is working because the pressure remains static when the throttle gets revved, i.e pressure remains the same when manifold vaccuum changes. Bigger pumps on stock rails always bumped the pressure in the rail without using an aftermarket regulator to change that. Do you know what your IAC is actually doing? Has there been any data showing the stepper motor % etc? There's no way your idle is actually moving around the way the cluster(s) are indicating. You would hear the difference with the engine RPM flying to 3k and 1k in mere seconds. I'd be checking the wiring to the tacho. What the tacho is telling you and what the engine/ecu is telling you are different things. I assume your ECU doesn't display the spike. So whatever is telling the tacho to be at X rpm is doing something weird. When the going gets insane, you're on the wrong path. You've ruled out plenty of things that are working correctly/aren't the issue. Your idle isn't doing what the tacho is indicating. You have two seperate issues, I don't think they are linked, and the idle seems reasonably okay unless it's stalling which.. well, it hasn't. Troubleshoot the stall if it occurs by figuring out what your IAC is doing vs what it is being told to do.
    • So awesome! I love the RB with the exhaust on display.
    • NO HITS PRICE DROP   ENGINE - $8.5k ONO TRANSMISSION - $1.8k ONO  
    • If it has had a code in the recent past, the code should still be there waiting to be read.
