Hi,

I’m looking into buying a 94-95 GTSt (unfortunately NOT a GTR).

I’ve seen a few comments about insurance in the forum BUT they seem to be comments younger drivers trying to insure GTR’s.

I’m over 30 and have a rating 1.

What’s the deal? Any comments? Who is best?

Thanks

Pearman

I'm in Brisbane and over 30 with rating one.

I use Suncorp and I'm charged $1000 a year for R33 gtst.

I've tried a couple of brokers but without successfuly beating that price, they even say they cannot beat Suncorp premiums!

There has got to be places where I can almost halve this premium.

Anyone?

I too am with Suncorp. I have a 94 R33 GTST, I am 25 with a rating 2 and I get hit for about $1450 for full comp. I have a few friends in other insurance companies and they either don't touch imports or cannot come close to that price.

If anyone can better Suncorp let us know!

I have just sold my 93 R33 but was insured with Suncorp until I sold it - their premiums were hard to beat! I am 25 with rating 1 and over 5 years of NCB, and they were only asking me $1270 pa.

The guy I sold my car to is a year younger than me (thus falling into the expensive sub-25 yo bracket) and is paying $2050 pa also with Suncorp.

Honestly, this came as a great surprise to me - you would expect some specialist insurers to be able to snip something off these premiums, but I couldn't get a better deal when I was insuring the skyline last year.

Ditto - I have replaced my skyline with a 1998 BMW M3 and was able to get fully comprehensive insurance with Suncorp (this time with a speeding ticket in my recent driving history) for $1650 pa.

I am in no way affilliated with Suncorp! I HATE insurance companies as a rule, after the decided to write off my pride and joy first car (a crappy old commodore but I was attached to it) five years ago, and then refused to sell the wreck back to me when I decided that I would repair it myself. That was MMI though, and thankfully they aren't in business any more!

Good luck with the hunt for lower premiums. It's my recent expereince in the insurance shopping around market that premiums are continuing to rise inordinately (far in excess of inflation) and that imports are getting harder and harder to insure though the main insurance retailers.

I'm sure your "maturity" will work in your favor :)

Best of luck,

Simon.

AON Risk Services.

On the up side, WELL under a thousand bucks.

On the down side, haven't had to make a claim, so no idea what the service is like.

On the up side, small brokerage firm means personal service and hopefully, not screwing me over on a claim.

On the down side, office in Hobart (!! of all places..)(sorry all you Tas-wegians).

ps I am in brisvegas, nearly 30 :-(, rating one, they do have an office in Brisbane but they are commercial only.

Recently renewed my Zed insurance, I'm 27, rating 1, modified TT Zed full comprehensive premium was only $600-90 with a $350-00 basic excess.

Was through local CGU broker, previously with Shannons for 3yrs, but they put my premium up to $1080 this year......theives

I was with Suncorp i was paying around $1400/ yr rating 5 which i though was great, but i decied to go as they have a rating/points system and if you want to go and do mods the points dont last. IF you go over the points they will ask you to take a mod off so you are under or they will reevaluate your insurance . I have a R33GTST 95

3" exhaust ,air filter, 18" mags,after market stereo, Nismo Rear wing 400r front and i was on the limit.

Cheers

ill be going the my own insurance style, basically i will set up my bank account to auto matically take out $100 a fortnight or something into an invester account or something.. becuase here are the facts:

last car, insured under mums name, she has now made 2 claims in 1 yr...

fact 2, ive lost my liscence.. and im only 19...

so that means im pretty much screwed...

ohwell.. i just gotta take it easy for a while till i can save some money incase sh*t happens.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?
