Insurance Advice?

[lopes31]

hi i need advice about insurance. Ive got a r31 with a 20det in it i wanted to let rego run out and use it for track days, but i love driving it on the streets to much so ive kept up with the rego and i dont have a engineers certificate my machanic said i would have to be converted it to gas to get one because of the fuel emissons or something and its got shaved door handles (illegal or not)? so is it still possible to get it insured? Even no most of the car is illegal as all fark!

Thanks guys

Call Shannons, 13 46 46.

You get a CAMS discount through them also.

for a safety factor I doubt you will be able to do track days with shaved door handles...

how can they get you out if there is an accident?

re insurance, getting it will be easy, however as the car is illegal if you get in an accident they can refuse to pay out.

rubbish. your mechanic is a dead set idiot.

You can get an engineers no problem, then insurance.

Plenty have done it over the years. Door handles will be a problem though, that wont pass engineers i would imagine

i found out that shaved handles are legal only if theres a visual button or cable installed so ive done that. I was thinking about going on a track but i think ive dug my self a hole now that you say that haha what a waist, anyway so shannons will insure me even if i dont have engineers

No you'll need an engineers to be legally allowed to drive the car.

As Martin said - Insurance will cover you regardless.

It's up to YOU to ensure the car is legally registered etc. If you have an accident, and are @ fault - with a car thats illegally rego's (motor conversion not engineered), you might well find they wont pay out as all of them state the car must be roadworthy etc.

re cost call them and discuss!

[lopes31]

600-700 It'll cost. Many have used Enkelman in Braeside, myself included. I found a lot of west/north places wanted far too much for a cert
