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!

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
