haha didn't even realise, but was goin over the paperwork for the car, and I realised on the rego it said the car was a Nissan Maxima A31 :D hahaha

Now the good part is when I ring up to do the insurance for my dad, I'll go "yeah I need to insure a 1990 Nissan Maxima Sedan thanks". Sweet! I think the vehicle's VIN number sorta gives it away tho with the "6U900000" start.

What is your ceffy registered as...

Oh btw, just checked the numberplate CEF130 is available at VicRoads.

was at NRMA insurance and they had me as nissan cima. Because they had no other name for it on their options list.

I made NRMA add cefiro to their list of options. The chick had to ring up the IT department to get them to update their car list. I had to sit around for half hour while this was done.

Wouldn't it be their call? they put it in the system as that knowing it's not the car but the closest fit..

Billion $$$ insurance co. 'v' dude with smashed up ceff.

I know where my money is. Its the minions that put it in the computer, the little cubical people, not the people that give you the money. Stupid but if it came down to it, insurance would win.

Hmm, true - they would win.

Here me out though - In theory (In theory) the broker who sells you the policy has to get it underwritten, and the underwriters have to sign it off.

In that process everywhere the assumption is the information is correct - and your duty of disclosure is based on the notion of good faith - as such in "good faith" you've told them your car was a cefiro. You are NOT required to tell them things they are supposed to know in the normal course of their business, or things that lessen the risk to them. So you've told them it's a cefiro, they say it's classified as X.

Theoretically there are no schedules in the policy to say that if they decide to classify it as X, and it isn't they won't cover it (good faith applies both ways because they have duties of disclosure also).

But yes - I agree with you deveo I would have my money with you as we live in the realistic world and not the dream technical world.

P'raps you guys with misc classifications could get a schedule added to your policies to be sure?

I got my A31 officially green plated. Mine is a 90 model and didn't come in as 15 year old rule. I've had for about 3 years or so now.

On the compliance plate my car is called a Nissan Matthews A31. The guy who did the compliancing was Alan Matthews. Coincidence, I think not :D

      I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.

      Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.

      That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain.

      OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
