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!

Adam,

Yes they'll be over it cos Motorsport injuries aren't same as injuries sustained from playing ball sports.

I'm just happy that I walked away from the crash to be honest.

And have you sent the laynards yet?

Cheers

Grant

And fair enough too :D

No need to post them mate, its no body's business.

No doubt we'll see you in something soon :)

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.

You do realise insurance fraud is a rather serious criminal offence and punishable by the law, leading to you then having a criminal record.

You then would not be insurable on-top of that among quite a number of other issues

It was done @ a Motosport event, with what - 100 or so people on the grounds...

Possibly the dumbest thing I've seen posted this year mate, its that type of stupid attitude and reasoning that is putting all OUR premiums up.

Ash,

Thanks, I hope I'll pop up to events in future, I'm hoping to make it to Go Kart night in couple weeks time but my parents are arriving home that night hmm...

And please no more debate/dribble about insurance. Motorsport events means you're not INSURED, end of the story.

Cheers

badluck grant, atleast yous are ok. like you said, cars a replaceable..a humans life on the other hand isnt. but it is a shame about the car..saw it a few times..on the GOR and at status when u came in..goodluck on your next buy..hopefully its still a skyline.

Hey Grant,

Good to see you and your brother came out unscathed from the incident, i see these situations very frequently and some do not recover aswell as you guys did. You'd be surprised how many people have been in this situation, as I said on the day, you're not the first and definetly not the last. The guy with the GT3RS was devistated, and still is after 3 years!!!! I guess turning a $280k car into a ball does that to you.

Was more than happy to help out on the day, nothing worse than being stuck out there not knowing how to get the car back safely. Remember if you need any other help just let me know....

Stay safe.....

Jack

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
