So with the recent rise of Skyline's being stolen in Victoria I was wondering if anyone has car insurance on their dedicated track car?

Mine is garaged at my house and I'm sure most are garaged permanently somewhere. I only ask on the basis of theft. Not trying to claim damaged that may happen on the track.

Cheers.

sorry it's been too long....but the premium is only a few hundred, not a few thousand like usual. And they know it's security system

and yes agreed value. $35k lol. And they've replaced 2 windscreens for me over the years too

I just insured the Radical on Friday with Shannons:

60k agreed value

Laid up policy (no registration) - insures it for any situation where the car is not running ie in storage, on the trailer, in the paddock etc

$650

MX5 is with them too.

but its road registered on ltd use.

OAMPS brokers also do race car only (not on track of course)

Ben = give shannons and or oamps a call - you'd be suprised how affordable it could be for that sort of cover.

and for everyone else - as an FYI - no one will cover on the race track!

correction...shannons now have 'racing extension'.

this covers damage on your car other than mechanical upto $20k for any racing sanctioned by a racing body (cams etc).

as an illustration, a car insured for $35k will cost around $800 for race only (laid up cover) insurance, and the additional racing extension cover will cost you $2200.

unsure of the excess on the racing extension...likely another 1k or something.

yeah best bet is shannon with laid up cover. my track car not currently road driven is on that. so basically covers you for damage in the garage (someone drops something on it etc), theft from the garage, damage on a trailer or theft, etc. doesn't cover you while you're driving it at all though. but it's very affordable and good piece of mind.

tk80 - I wont get into much details - but they will do it for classic race cars and even then it has to be referred to a regional manager

its not an "off the shelf" policy and not something the'll offer to anyone and everyone.

hence why I said

and for everyone else - as an FYI - no one will cover on the race track!

nee-san - thats ebcause he is sponsored by them!

Ben - yeah man give em another go!

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
