Actually,

they wont....

No company out there will, Shannons does for older cars, that actually do the historics and stuff.

Give em a call and find out.

Oh, hmm.. My policy says different. I dunno. I should call and double check.

Shannon's only cover track days for older historic cars. Ring and ask, that's what I did and they said in no uncertain terms that there is no way they'd cover a skyline on a track day.

When I signed up to Shannons I asked about track coverage, and they offered it to me but it was about three times higher than my normal premium.

Most insurance companies (these days) will cover you for advanced driver training courses, that may be run off-street. You have to have a driving instructor in the car with you to be eligible.

But if you're doing a practice session (let alone timed laps or racing for position) then you'll have to get specific track day insurance.....which will probably cost as much as the car. I don't think anyone covers those kinds of track sessions.

I do believe that shannon's do.. or atleast they did cover track days for an excess price + a higher premium..

I'm with Shannons and I can tell you they do NOT cover you on the track for a normal track sprint. No one does. I believe they do cover you if you are on the track for a driver training course however - but not a normal track day.

I scanned in a couple of pages from my Shannons product disclosure agreement.

According to this they didn't use to allow you to have the "Racing Extension" on your policy if the vehicle was older than 60 years old. Which I guess means they didn't use to allow "track insurance" for historics...

...and here's the bit about what is covered when you have "club racing" ticked on your insurance policy.

Maybe things have changed??

Well, you can see right there. Hard to dispute the actual Shannons PDA.

I got that PDA last year. Maybe things have changed. I don't know. But anyway, there it is. According to that, they can cover you on the track, like I said in my very first post in this thread before all the naysayers decided to chime in.

And with regards to the age of the car and them only insuring "historics" on the track, according to that as long as the car is less than 60 years old they can cover it on the track.

The more I read forums the more I realise that there is so much misinformation everywhere.

The best thing for you to do CCCP is to call Shannons, ask them to send a product disclosure agreement. Read through it, then call back asking specifically about the club racing section (if it even exists anymore). Quote page numbers etc. That is the only way you're going to find out what the real deal is.

The guys on the phones are worked to the bone and have to deal with lots of "fully sick" people wanting to insure their "hectic" rides, and when someone just straight out asks for track insurance they're bound to tell you to bugger off.

Wilch, do whatever you like :P

I will bet you $500 that you wont get track cover.

The PDs says it, but remember, it is in plain english.

It is saying for the people who have the older classics and the historics that "If" they have that option, it will say that in their policy schedule.

Also - everything as to be printed in there even if it doesnt apply to your specific cover.

But, hey, you dont want to listen to me, so call shannons and find out :laugh:

Better give me $500 then... :rollseyes:

meh, I really couldn't give a flying fu(k about this anymore. Seriously, CCCP do what you want. Call Shannons.

I'm out of this thread. Try and help someone and you just get people questioning everything you say. Really over this whole SAU forum.

Not picking you out but just for everyone else - what Wilch means is product disclosure statement and is not necessarily an agreement.

The PDS will just tell you about the insurance product you're buying, your actual contract will have the policy endorsements/exclusions/conditions ... in short just cos it's in the PDS booklet doesn't mean it's in your policy conditions :)

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
