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

      R32 Gtst - Track Car

      Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.

      no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
