All I am saying is its ok to have an opinion, but I don't go into the mod forums telling guys who work on turbo's what their job is about and how it is :)

All I am saying is that while insurance looks black and white, it is more grey. I know the reason why he should dispute it and until I change companies I can't disclose the reason as I'm bound by my conditions of employment. Almost every financial services company does the same thing with regards to protecting its secrets.

hahahaha, MSTRshenanigans, i cant believe your still in here arguing with these guys.. quite clearly none of them know what they are talking about and when confronted with someone in the industry, the "think they know all but really dont" warriors will come out and voice there opinion.. obviously what you'v stated is accurate, i just went and asked my housemates missus (she works for AAMI) and she says that theyre legally not allowed to give a p plater insurance for an exempt car, if he's a nominated driver of the vehicle.. so yeah, good call shenanigans, i advise to just ignore the people questioning you in this thread, otherwise you'll be here for ever..

and to the p plater lad that crashed his turbo car..

why do you have a turbo, i dont understand all these p platers that get turbo cars, do they not know that insurance wont cover them?? part the car out, by an NA car.. and learn from this..

Need some help otherwise I'm farked! Anyone here know what I can do?

I got in an accident just before christmas came around a corner in the wet and back came out and then I slid

the other way and hit this women in a magna. And insurance are sayin they wont pay cause my car is a

turbo and cause I have p-plates I cant drive a turbo. But they took my money when I got insurance with them.

I called just cars and told them that they took my money so they have to pay but the person said that the guy

they sent to look at my car told them it was a turbo and they had pictures of the engine bay abd that it

wasnt rodworthy cause the back tires are bald so they don't have to pay.

This is such farking shit. The p-plate law is stupid anyway and I shouldnt have to pay. The women is insured with

the same insurance company as me so are they just trying to get out of paying? They sent a letter saying I owe her

$7000 and have til Feb 10 to pay.

So your the reason why my premium's are so high. Thanks very much

:)

Maybe when the other driver sue's you for damages and a injury claim, you might wake up a little.

Ill add my 2c.

When I got my insurance for the 33, Not once did they ask if I was a P plater...they asked how long i had being driving for but that is it, P-plates was not mentioned once.

Shennanigans - are you trying to tell me that say the local parts place is not allowed to sell me an Z160 (308 holden) oil filter for my skyline because It doesnt suit / wont work, because in the book it says z154.

Afaik, and im no expert - no doubt the OP signed the dotted line saying that (insert conditions here) are not met, i.e bald tyres, P plates, being a dick etc, That his insurance is voided.

HE can be sold the insurance but it isnt worth the paper its written on.

Agree with you totaly,this is so wrong.The insurance comp gave him a policy,they should of told him no p platers,seems pretty simple to me,unless he thought he would be covered any way,lots of naieve peeps out there. :(

Is it just me or shouldn't he have been driving it in the first place ? You have a P licence and your not allowed to drive a turbo, so what do you do ?

Go and buy one.

Seriously at what point did you think that was a good idea ?

I bought this car for a few reasons

1. I could legally drive it on the road

2. It was roadworhty

3. I could get full comprehensive insurance

4. Did I mention I could legally drive it on the road?

5. I liked the car

This type of c.... The skyline has a reputation of being associated with hoons and other undesirables on the road. Your type of activity doesn't help. I own one. I do the right thing. I don't speed. I don't drive stupidly. I drive to the road rules and yet because of the reputation this vehicle has ( thanks to your type of driving mentality ) I'm always having a police car following me or giving me a second look.

I stick by my other comment.

I hope the other driver sue's you for damages and injuries sustained. Then maybe just maybe, you'll wake up to yourself and stick to the rules.

Insurance companies will sell you insurance based on what you tell them. I had a KE70 and I put a new exhaust on it and I didnt tell my insurance company that i had done it for a week thinking that it wouldnt have affected my policy. WRONG. If I had a accident my insurance would have been void. There happy because they took my money.

Wake up to yourself.

Stick to the rules and you can't go wrong.

Seriously people like you are the reason I want to sell mine.... Did you want to buy mine ? Oh that's right... YOU CANT DRIVE IT!

That's a bit rich coming from a "oh there's a really big reason but its a secret, so stop questioning and just belive it." person. Don't get me wrong, there might and probably is whatever there is your talking about, however, you need to know that if you jump onto an internet forum, go on about some big secret that you can't tell us, you can't then get pissed off at us for not taking it at 100% gospel.

ye i think that came up on page 2, still nothing has been put on the table as to why the policy would still apply and so on.

Because by His attitude it's obvious He sees the 'rules' as being stupid and pointless and a major drag and not worthy of His superior consideration.

Please just overlook the minor issue of Him, predictably, proving in the end why the government felt the restrictions were needed in the first place.

Since when have you ever signed anything to get insurance? LOL. If you are going to argue the point and not go read the Financial Trades Act please stop right now.

This is true, however, I want the truth known. I'm not getting stirred up. I'm just posting the same way I would put a misbehaving customer in their place.

They legally can't sell you the product. The rule as per financial Ombudsman is that they customer doesn't need to know anything, the insurer must do the right thing and ask ALL questions, if they missed one its their fault not the customer. (only example of this that is not the case is if you neglect to mention you got done for fraud)

even if that is all true, the simple fact that his car had bald, unroadworthy tyres will mean his claim is not paid anyway. at the absolute best he's looking at a refund of all or part of his premium payments, but if you reckon they will pay out his claim I think you're way too optimistic. anyway, like I said if he wants to fight it I would suggest he go and get some actual legal advice. not advice from anonymous users of a forum (me included).

BB, just because an insurance company puts a clause into their contract stating they won't pay out if certain conditions are met, doesn't necessarily mean that it will actually stand up in court.

There are a whole bunch of things an insurance company are compelled to do, and many conditions under which they must pay, regardless of how they attempt to shirk their responsibilities.

Personally I think the OP is either a troll or just a complete f**kwit. But the ensuing discussion has been interesting and it's certainly telling that people assume everything that the insurance company says is gospel.

there's no good complaining that the insurance company screwed you - you screwed you!

I have insurance for my R33 with justcars and when i first insured my car they went through a shit load of questions with me that lasted almost 10 mins, and asked stuff like what year, series and model it was along with if it was turbo or not and they asked my age and wether i have ever had an accident before etc.

So at the end of the day IT IS YOUR FAULT for driving a car you are legally not surposed to be driving in the first place, along with the fact you were silly enough to be driving in wet conditions with bald tires and could of seriously injured or killed someone through your own stupidity!

And i'm sure if the police had been called to come to the scene you would of more than likely been charged with reckless driving, bald tires andd riving a turbo car on your P's so i think you got of pretty lightly to what could of happened to you.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
