lucky no one was hurt - sure can't move tree's that easily!

Which makes you ask yourself... How fast was this guy going before he hit the curb, rolled the car twice, and STILL managed to carry enough velocity to COMPLETELY UPROOT A TREE?!?!

Dont worry guys, with our current import laws, for every 'line thats written off, they bring in another 100 from Japan so whats the big deal? Lets hope our cars dont end up like those Shit-ba-rus out there....... too f$ckin many of 'em......

By the way, I bet it was his attitude or his P-plates that wrote it off. ;P

I enjoy these sorts of photos. Makes me smile seeing some hero write off his car :(

I'd suspect his insurance company is also going to say "NO CAR FOR YOU!"

Just a question...

I keep hearing people saying this when threads like this pop up... But why would insurance invalidate his insurance? Surely speeding on the roads and losing control of the car is the cause of many many accidents? Even if he was "street racing" or whatever, surely his insurance would still hold true?

I thought the only reason your insurance could be rendered null & void is if you were under the influence of drugs or alcohol? dunno.gif

I believe that if they can prove  that you were breaking road rules whilst the accident happend, they can null your insurance.

But isn't speeding "breaking the road rules"??

I know that even if you're speeding and write off your car, you'll still get a full insurance payout!

If that were the case, insurance would be able to invalidate something like 50% of accident claims!!! :(

If they can prove (ie have a police report that concludes that you were speeding) then they will invalidate the insurance, it's just they only do it in big accidents. It's kinda like working out who is at fault.

Really!!!! That's very surprising actually... It's not that I don't believe you, I just find it surprising that they can do that.

For example, a taxi driver ran a red light and completely anihilated me as I was driving across William St. Red light camera took photos, I had heaps of witnesses, etc etc... So there was no question that he "broke the road rules" and he was at fault.

But his insurance company still paid him his insured value and obviously the value of my car (both cars were written off) dunno.gif

Hmmm.... Are you sure they paid him off? Actually i might be wrong about breaking the road rules.... I ll have a look at my policy sometime later....

Yah, I'm positive that he got his insurance paid out...

I'd be very very very VERY surprised if they were allowed to invalidate insurance contracts because people broke road rules though. MOST accidents are caused by people breaking road rules, and they always get their insurance paid out.

If that were the case, they'd be able to reject 80% of insurance claims!

p.s. fatz, your sig sucks!!!!

Ofcourse you still get paid out your insurance if you were speeding, run a red light etc... That's why we pay $2000 a year lol because they figure we are more likely to do such stupid things... If they could null ur insurance because you broke the road rules, everyone would pay the same premium because they wouldnt have to pay us out...

The only thing is you lose your NCB and have to pay an excess.

I was under the impresion that if you received a more serious charge from the police, you would not be covered.

Ive just looked through my policy, nothing to say 'if you're being a dick..."

*but*, theres a clause listing "if your car is being used in a race, trial, test or contest" you wont be covered. Another section says the same for any "circuit" (ie race track), so they differentiate the 2.

Gosh... it's quite clear none of you guys have been on the other side of an insurance company policy.

If you're guilty of speeding or running a red light, you are guilty of a civil offence or what the Americans would call a 'moving violation'.

The insurance company will pay on those conditions. God knows I've gotta a few neg. driving fines to go with paying an excess.

But if you're convicted of a criminal offense (ie. DUI, ignoring sirens, driving while in commission of a crime), the insurance company will not pay up.

Nor will they pay up for any cars you hit along the way.

hope nobody was in the passanger seat

if there wasnt then the driver is lucky his side didnt whack the tree.

silly driving obviously looks like it was the cause of this, so in that case il take the front bar as it only has a chip and little scratch on it.

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
