Hi,

As the thread title says, i'm 24 years old and have 5 years No Claims Bonus. I currently drive a BMW 530d for my daily commute and I have a Civic Type-R which I hardly ever drive. I'm now looking for something more fun than the Civic which I have had for over 2 years. The car i'm looking at is an R34 GT-R. I have loved Skylines since I was about 18 and it has always been my aim to get one and now that I am in the position to I think its time I started with some insurance quotes.

Reading on here and speaking alot with my friend who has a Highly Tuned R33, it looks like A-Plan or A.Flux are the people to go with?

The reason(s) for asking is that firstly I want to save some time ringing around companies which aren't going to be competetive so a shortlist would probably stop me wasting time on the phone! Secondly, I have heard some nightmares (not sure how true) about A-Plan et al only giving book value on a Skyline, IF, you had an accident where the car was a write-off (hopefully will never happen). We all know that you would struggle to find any GT-R at book value so seems stupid to go with a company that you would lose out on?

Feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys,

Turks.
