well now that you have said that

i know for a fact that quite a few people who work for insurance companys go on these forums

and you never know they also could possibly come on here to check up on certain skyline owners if a claim has been put in?

But i would assume they would do checks.. And if you have a crash and they do some investigating and they find that out you will most probly be paying for the repairs on both partys yourself! - I wouldnt risk it

is there any chance of insurance companys finding out if you had lost your licence ....would it be a good idea to lie to insurance companys about the  loss of license in past years to save money or even to get insured!!!!!

if you have a parent, put the car in there name, your name secondary, and they wont ask

Insurance companies love attitudes like that !!

They will happily take your cash based on whatever you want to say and put on a form..

However, its once you try to claim on the policy (and the respective $$$ amount !!) that they will go over the details with a fine tooth comb.....and they will be most grateful for any excuse to not pay you.

If you have a read of the policy guidelines when you sign up - they are quite strict in regards to mods and roadworthiness..

In all honesty, Just Cars really walk the line when mentioning they insure modded cars (...fine print is as long as they are legal - and again according to the letter of the law none are, so... ??)

Bottom line - mention all mods, spend the cash and not only drive guilt-free but also with peace of mind knowing that you are covered financially..

:D

nope - you are suppost to disclose any and all information that may potentially affect the decision (read: premium) of the insurance company..

they usually mention this in the phone disclaimer if you are applying over the phone, or somewhere on the doco...

The insurance companies have been in the legal game much longer than all of us...dont try and take them on unless you have the law on your side..

yes they can check... but only if they are lead to believe that u have lied.

if u have lied u break the contract and u can be prosecuted by law..

...um...if its specifically mentioned on the form - and if its something the insurance company can use to void my insurance..

Hell yeah.

unlikely that they wont ask you - especially if its one of those "paperless" applications.

But - its your cash - its your choice..i personally cant afford a 20k defecit if i lose my car without any insurance.

    • 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.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • 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
