There are a lot of tidy cars that turn up.
Believe it or not, that one, several of the other Skylines, and most of the 300ZX and Mitsu GTO's that turn up are owned by couples in the
40's/50's/60's because insurance is stupidly high (and compulsory) on standard ones, so imagine what it would be like for youngsters who might want one, especially modified.
Same story here. I was paying 2 grand a year for my GTR and I'm 30 with a lock up garage and no accident history.

GAH !
That is *HORRENDOUS*. Who on earth does that to a lovely Supra ?
ST205 looks nice ! Make yours look like it :)
And sort out your rims :)
I'm 35, only had driving license 3 years, but it's clean, and I've=20 gradually built up the performance of the cars I've owned.
I tried for a quote for a Skyline GTR, a 200SX, a JDM Prelude and a=20 Mitsu GTO before I bought the Celica.
This is with comprehensive cover everything insurance. I used the confused.com quote search site.
Nobody they check would cover me in a Skyline. best I could get for GTO was =A31200 best I could get for a 200SX was =A3900 best I could get for the import VTEC perlude was =A3900. best I could get with the UK Celica GT4 was =A3785 My own current insurer would do the import Prelude for =A3707 or the=20 Celica for =A3517. And a good(ish) Celica came up before a good JDM=20 Prelude VTEC.

Can't unfortunatley. I could get a Carlos SAainz syle ST185 bonnet for mine, but I ain't losing the popups, and I do rather like Ferrari
550/575 esque bonnet intake.Once I do the FMIC conversion, I may keep that bonnet anyway just to get gallons of cool air straight to the top of the engine to cool it.
Wheels are standard 15's. They'll do for now as they running 50 series rubber. Did think about a set of either 17" generation 7 Celica multi spokes, or a set of 17" Oz Multispokes in white (can't get the Oz or Compomotive rally style wheels they used previously on the Celica rally cars new anymore).
I think a set of big flappy rally slag mudflaps in blue (along with white wheels) with the red paint would set it off nicely. But that is for the future. Along with a set of S-Tech coilovers.
My d*****ad insurer who insured me for the GTR wouldn't insure me at any price in the WRX. I couldn't work it out. They would insure me in a modded import but not in a locally delivered car. Must of been because of the big spate of WRX's being stolen by ramraiders. My car is alarmed and lives in a lockup garage in which my Rotti x Pitbull sleeps. It's the safest car in Australia.

Had a mate with an open top ex US army jeep.
His Rotti slept in that in the yard in the summer, and when he went anywhere. Funnily enough that was never messed with either. Dog was really a big softy.

Nobody they check would cover me in a Skyline. best I could get for GTO was £1200 best I could get for a 200SX was £900 best I could get for the import VTEC perlude was £900. best I could get with the UK Celica GT4 was £785 My own current insurer would do the import Prelude for £707 or the Celica for £517. And a good(ish) Celica came up before a good JDM Prelude VTEC.
you guys are going to the wrong companies i think, i'm 22 with 2 years NCB and got a quote of £1k exactly for a 200SX and i'm only paying £1032 FC for the MR2 turbo, funny thing is when i wanted a golf MKII i was quoted £1200 :)
dunno where skyline owners go for insurance? so many companies refuse them which is a shame as i want a GT-S after i'm finished with MR2 turbo's :)
I used to have a convertible FJ40 Landcruiser. Used to cruise around in summer with my Rotti x and my 60 kilo mastiff. They loved it and I was happy parking it anywhere.
