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.

Did you have to provide an independant Engineers Value report or anything like that? Or was it a case of your word and a list of all the modifications? I know when my mate Insured his he had to get an Value report done.
