    I was looking at the 3 door Lenny. I've driven a few of them and love them. They guxxle a lot of petrol though. I drove the MK5 GTI last week and didn't like it near as much. I think the honeycomb grille makes it look cheaper than the standard model too. the MK4 came with a pretty high spec.

    Hhhmmm.. well, after Joefaces post, now I'm considering getting a few quotes on an Integra 1.6 ZXi just out of interest. Under €1000 is, in my book, very good for someone my age! I really find this quote hard to believe, but I'll check quinn, even though I usually go with Axa...

    well where or not its hard to believe 564euro is all im paying this year , AXA on the other hand wanted 1800euro for me and 123.ie said none of the companys the do business with would quote me ...then quinn direct game me that as a renewal figure ...............WHY WOULD I LEAVE..
    so next year im going to buy a R-type

    R31 model is 3 litre 6 cylinder


    No it's not, the R31 had a 6 cyl 2l engine (the RB20DE (T) engine). The Fairlady 300ZR had a 3l engine. No Skyline's (bar the 1988 Skyline Ti, the GX and the Silhouette) have a 3l engine. The highest they go to is a 2.6l and I've seen a 2.8, but that had an engine swap done on it.

    Just after phoning Quinn direct to get a quote on this car:
    http://www.carzone.ie/usedcars/index.cfm?fuseaction=car&carID=204536

    and they WOULD NOT even quote me! They said I had to be 25 or over to be even quoted on that car (and even then, I have a feeling the insurance would not be cheap).

    Perhaps because it's a jap import? I dunno... but if that's from Quinn direct, then I doubt any other companies will quote either. Joeface - the person who quoted you must have been on the beer the night before heheh..

    oh well :(

    you mean to tell me that that you're 20 with a provisional licence and your company pays your insurance on a 3.0ltr Skyline? :rolleyes:

    That's something to consider as certain cars fall into certain brackets without any real reason why. I have an FTO and they are possibly one of the hardest cars to insure at the moment because they fall into a particular grey area. Because of that, most insurance companies don't want to insure them as they don't know how to class them.

    Quinn Direct used to quote reasonably for them but then they stopped insuring them. The existing policy holders were still able to insure them and are on great prices now. However Quinn Direct is beginning to get known for its Customer Service being pretty bad and hard to deal with, so that's something else to consider too.

    I insure my fiance's car and she insures mine. Works out a lot cheaper and I am also a named driver on hers. I can cover both prices for less than it would cost for me to insure the car myself.

    There isn't an insurance company in the country that would insure a 20 year old with a provisional license on a Skyline.

    Lets move on..

    I see. No way around it then by the looks of it.

    Although I remember this guy coming into the pub one night with a huge smile on his face. His name is Vivian or however you spell it. He got a great quote from a broker and when he went into get it, the broker came out saying in disbelief, Miss Vivian........

    Their mistake, so they had to follow it through.

    Presuming this attempted land speed record of 194mph was in Ireland, where precisely did it take place, or have I missed something?

    The guys who race on the toll roads around Tokyo at night in Skylines that are modded to values in excess of €100000 rarely get to these speeds...

    Gatster u just reminded me of some thing ...most of the Skylines here are jap imports so the clocks are more than likely in Kph not miles...194k would be approx 121mph... maybe he was just confused

    also there is this thats states 155miles per hour as the top speed
    Skyline

    Cracking point about the Kph! AFAIK Skylines (UK ones) were restricted to 155mph, get this lifted and they go much faster however these are the last of this generation of Skylines.

    121mph is not exactly terrifying now is it - Not that it's relevant, but any constant speed above 120mph begins to feel very surreal after a while (done in Germany, somewhat obviously). Terrifying would be going 194mph in a Skyline driven by a 20 year old with a provisional...
