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.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
