8OO5TED,

Mate it's part of standard coverage. At least up to $20k or insured value whichever is lower.

You can also take out a full coverage option with Shannons provided they grant coverage.

They have revised the PDs on their website (which I have downloaded for your benifit). It's now only 30pages long.

I am telling you they cover this because I actually HAVE a policy with them and when I took it out I had the very helpfull Shannons person explain to me how  it works.

They are a great company to deal with too.

Interesting, I actually HAVE a policy with Shannons, and not only this but I WORK for Shannons too.....

We provide coverage for driver training courses designed to improve your skills and that are under guidance of trained proffessional intructors. It must also not be a CAMS affiliated event.

IF you have the 'Club Racing' benefit noted on your schedule, then you will have coverage 'in any race, pacemaking, reliability trial, speed or hill climbing test' but only if its CAMS approved AND 'on a racetrack or testing ground or land immediately adjacent to a racetrack or testing ground if such an event is carried out under the license from the CAMS body'

SO please check your schedule to see that 'Club Racing' is noted if you want track coverage, otherwise it will only be covered for driver training purposes....

hahahaha rev210

i hope you deleted those posts yourself.

Noise... aftermarket engine management is a big deal according to licencing... as i recall there are alot of emissions tests that need to be carried out to get it accepted. this is what i remember from the information night. Now i guess if you had some documentation to say that your aftermarket computer was passed and is acceptable..then you can submit that to HBF and ask for them to review the fact that your car is FULLY ROAD LEGAL with an aftermarket engine management system

If you cant get that.. then the car isnt legal and insurance dont cover illegal vehicles...why would they.

When you claim... if mods are illegal then your claim will more than likely be rejected..

For all those wondering why some policies are expensive... well turbo imports have been quite cheap through hbf for the longest time

as the numbers grow on the books the prices will go up as the claims costs will go up.

and rev....heard your story before.. last time a big insurance thread came up.. i wonder what other people with good claims experiences must have done to get good service.. weird how we discriminate against import owners? weird

Companies like HBF that have been lax on their following up of imported vehicles have now started to crack down.. or rather pull in the reigns of their underwriting departments so that the growing number of customers can get decent service. Last thing you want is to claim and then find out that becuase of someone slack in the department you have to for some reason lose out on your claim or not get the best benefits possible.

efficiency is usually good.. if not right away.. i am sure it will work out best in the end.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By jayden_l33 · Posted

      I am getting the same issue. Did you resolve it? I just got it after installing my new super coppermix and literally the same issue, new fork, new 18mm carrier, release bearing that came with the kit and replicated the exact same sound.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      If you like - I have the STL files so I can email em. There's a couple of gotchas (i.e the holes are not threaded so you might need/will need) to utilize some M3 melt-in threads for some of the points. However if you want to be super accurate, and are willing to remove your calipers and your SHOCKS it's a really good tool. You also might need to scale the part that measures the tyre width a bit wider. It defaults to a 7.5in tyre and I mean who is running that. Luckily with the magic of CAD this is very easy to rescale.

      jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By Duncan · Posted

      In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.

      So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.
