Right. First things first. I'm 19. I have 1 years NCD. I have Pass Plus (basically another 1 year NCD). I want a Skyline.

I'm really expecting a few replies to this thread with just a simple ' ' although I'm sure there are some of you who are more keen to help!

Obviously I won't be able to afford or insure something like a GTR-TT, however I've seen a few 2.0 non-turbo R33's about. I know its nothing compared to the higher spec ones, but its still a Skyline and I've always loved the car like everyone else.

Now, I'd like to know (seriously ) about insurance. R33's are pretty cheap to pickup considering their 'credentials', however insurance is a bit of a killer I'm presuming. I'm a bit to worried about calling up my insurance company and asking about it...it'll kill my dream so I'd rather you lot kill it instead.

I'm 19, 1 years NCD (with pass plus so assume 2 years NCD), I'll be looking for TPF&T and it'll be fitted with a cat 1 alarm/immobilser.

Will I get insured for under £1500 and who should I be going to? Is it worth the effort or am I running into a dead end?

Yep that's right. I'm sure it was around £1500..

What insurance group am I looking at for a 2.0 non-turbo R33? Group 24 ?

Fuck me! Thats out the window then. Was looking for under £1.5k

Bet he really stretched the insurance to get that premium too...

Oh well...I might as well get started on it....not going to give up!

Whose best then? Probably a specialist on imports right? Adrian Flux etc?

Apologies if this sounds stupid but I'm not big on insurance groups. Are the mazda and skyline r33 2.0 non-turbo the same/similar insurance group then?

TBH...even a 2.0 non-t skyline which I would leave perfectly unmodified would be more than good enough for me. Just love the damn car

Skyline 2.0 non turbo (if there's such a thing) will be alot less to iusnure than a tt rx7 tho

Why do u want one anyway they don't look like gtr's u know which is the only reason u might even have considered a dog slow 2.0 n/a

Still a lot better than a 1.4 corsa

At least I can say I own a Skyline. Then watch their faces erupt when they see its a 2.0 non turbo

Thanks for the replies. Still investigating.

I'm really going to have a go at getting a decent quote...before I just went with NU on the Corsa which suited me. Anyone reccommend some decent Import or Jap car insurance companies?

Nismo + Adam....browsing your 'My Garage' pics makes me want one even more...slowly getting addicted to japness.
