Hi Guys,

Add me to the list!

Last week I finally made a purchase – R34 GTT (from Japan/Auction).

Now it’s time to wait for shipping, compliance, etc. Fingers crossed for no hassles.

I’ve been waiting for 2 years… it’s finally happening!

I’ll be following in the steps – exhaust, pod, etc

My big question is INSURANCE.

I’ve looked on this site and got LOADS of different advice.

** I’ve only looking for R34 GTT Owners – preferably South/East QLD.

If you are willing to share your details, can I find out,

1) Insurance Company

2) Approx cost

3) Any policy details (special requirements, etc)

4) Your age

5) Approx location (Bris - North, south, east, west, North/South Coast, etc)

6) Rating

7) Are they ok with basic mods? extra cost?

ANY of the above info would be great! sorry for so many questions!

Thanks for your time,

PEAR

Mines the Manual Coupe, I'm 21, living in the Carindale area and I'm with Just Car - $1998 a year with about $800 excess on any basic claim. The car can be modified as much as I like as long as the car audio gear is <$2000 and its roadworthy. The car is for the agreed value of $33000.

As per our discussions last night, I've asked my cousin in NZ to go to the Dealership where I saw R34's about 4 years ago and ask how much service/owners manuals are. Once I get prices and check availability, I'll post it on this thread and we can get orders. I'm meeting him in 2 weeks so delivery here may be fairly quick.

Hey Damien. I'm up for one of those manuals.

Let me know.

I've been told that a NZ company has translated the Jap R34 Manual.

I know someone in Bris that had a copy. I'll check it out and let you know.

Also, Thanks for the comments on the Bayside and the Insuranace info!

Will send more details on the car when I have them...

so far, R34 GTT Series I - Year 2000, 4 - grade 4 - stock, with a few minor scratched, etc.

Nice Bayside, should have my silver sedan on the road late April.

I'm 30 Rating 1 with Just Cars $955 with min 2 point immobiliser needed, Brisbane Northside as Choyda said for mods.

Zymotic, that's the BEST deal so far, can anyone better $955?

How do you find Just Cars? Ok to deal with?

Nice looking sedan! I'm sure late April can't come soon enough! good luck!

Choyda, thanks for the info - sorry to hear that you are stuck with $1998!

Better than $955 anyone?

Just cars seemed ok over the phone but you might wanna find someone who has made a claim to see how it all went.

2 biggest factors seem to be rating/accident history (or lack of) and age of youngest driver.

30rys old seems to be a magic number where things get a fair bit cheaper provided rating is good.

Just Cars were fine with me during a claim...someone reversed into my front bar and damaged it, they tried to drive off but I got their drivers licence number (through force)

The guy supplied a dodgey phone number etc etc, but the claim went fine because I had his correct licence details :(

The car was fixed all within 2 weeks.

I'm 25, rating 1, agreed value of $29,000, a few mods, paying $1100...the next bill should be under $1000 though

I think this part of the post is most crucial. If they can deem the mods you've done to be un-roadworthy, I'm sure they'd refuse cover.

A boost controller is illegal (apparently). Any turbo besides stock is illegal without a modification plate. Tinted windows beyond legal tint are illegal.

I just read that post by Choy and had alarm bells ringing in my head. I'm sure an insurance company would try anything to not cover you and keep the premiums.

Just my 2c.

:werd: in fact it would probably branch even further than that. Im quite sure it states in just cars policy that you must list EVERY single modification to your car....that would include such things as pod filters etc and if these were deemed to be illegal im sure they'd try to get off on such a lame excuse. Keep in mind people that almost any modification is illegal without a mod plate, so be careful in thinking your covered when in fact you may not be.

This gives me the shits, if they are taking premiums for a modded vehicle and you have the mods listed with them, you have an accident and then they turn around and say we are not covering you because you have these mods, then surely you would have recourse to claim the premiums you have paid back, as they obviously had no intention of covering your vehicle in the first place, so therefore they have been getting you to pay premiums for coverage under false pretences.

Matt.... what do you reckon, lawyer boy???/??

      HyperGear vs Pulsar Turbo RB25DET

      By Eric0 · Posted

      UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their proven reliability, predictable performance, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!

      Probolt

      By Duncan · Posted

      I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By Beanie · Posted

      I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
