hardly a laughing matter but yes most insurance wont cover you at a motorsport event

there is nothing stopping you calling up to trry and make a claim and be honest about it

but they would certainly have a lot of ground to reject the claim, but you can certainly try

ie being honest and saying i was at a club day and had an issue, i wouldnt lie about it, but you could try

so was this after the hill near the start?

sad to hear that you binned it... your not the only person to ever have a big off on the long wang but it sounds like your the first to write off a car... your okay though and that's the main thing... annoying cliche I know but its really the truth... you'll have other cars

the long wang has taken a few scalps over the years, people need to respect it, its not designed to be a race track and there's nowhere to go if you make a mistake!

I'm sorry but if you had half a brain you'd lie about it and get a payout.. and if u don't lie about it.. you pretty much don't get paid out, and if u do, its hapened before and all they do is STILL REJECT your claim if they find out.. they will not try and dick you for fraud.. thats my 2 cents.. anyway....... O_O and if you've had a good history.. even the better reason to try.

They would most likely follow it up with legal action when they realised it was a dodgy claim. Especially if they had paid it out and then found out afterwards... :P

Insurance companies take fraud quite seriously.

(Sorry to hijack your thread Grant)

Insurance at all? or you not covered?

Motorsport activites - no insurance cos everyone would stack their cars.

Grant, sorry to hear about this mate - v glad to hear you and your brother came through relatively unscathed, that's the important thing.

Thanks Aaron.

Yeah, I thought about making a claim but I can't be bothered being reamed by assessor and their cronies only to have to be told they won't cough up the $. It's simply not worth it, If I crashed on street, it's another story.

It was before the hill of clockwise actually.

Me too was disappointed when the R is no good, but what can we do about it, what's done is done.

I was confident I'd ace this run but the car wasn't co-operating with me though...

grant buy my ke70 then you can eat all the armco you want :P

Hmm.....

so sorry to hear about the crash grant...saw the crash scene....good thing is you and your brother walked away from the scene with hardly a scratch...

Thanks Harsh, It goes to show how well it is built. Couple of people reckon it could be fixed, but $10k to fix it, what for?

About insurance, no point in discussing about it cos trackdays means you're not covered. And these Insurance Companies are bit like banks, they love to grab our money and have trouble giving them away.

Gettin sick of the weld job yet? :P

Was pretty shocked to see this Grant, it was only at the show and shine we were talking about that tree in your front yard dropping oil on it. I know Dave would have wanted you to RB26 into sedan lol.

Plenty of people write off cars on the street (me) let alone motorsport, so don't feel too bad beyond the loss...just be re-assuring to your parents cause they will be the most affected by this :(

Adam,

Yep, no more worries about oil stain from trees, that gotta count for something!

Dave is bit disappointed about me not dropping 26 into my sedan besides I've been trying to get him to buy it off me.

I suddenly felt better when Jack told me someone has binned 911 GT3RS at Sandown, there is always someone worse off. Not sure if it makes me a bad person?

I'll have a huge work into re-assuring my parents... Should be fun.

As for replacment, have been looking at another Skyline but not sure which.

:P moron!!

Lying to an insurance company is a failure of an idea.

As Ive said Grant, I am SO glad both you and Dermott are OK.

Was awful to witness, but I couldnt be happier you guys walked away.

I wish you the best with your replacement and hope your parents let up on you a bit :(

Haha they will get over it in due time mate. Atleast you know your parents give a shit about you :P

Indeed there is always someone worse off. And for what it's worth, there's a reason insurance companies don't insure cars on the race track...because cars end up in sidewalls all the time. Just one of the expenses of motorsport, and if the late great Peter Brock can crash then anyone can.

Can't replace the things we love and lost but you can save up and get something better to take your mind off it :(

Take care mate!

You're exactly right. That is exactly what someone with half a brain would do :P

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
