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

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
