i hope for your sake that you dont hit a ferrari/mercedes etc....you're finished if you do, sunday car or not.

or that you have a ridiculous amount of money that you can happily give to the person you hit to pay for their car

Its a very grey area this one. I have heard of many stories where insurance companies have failed to pay out claims or reduce the amount they pay because the vehicle was over the power to weight ratio.

But on the other hand if you read the insurance fine print it will tell you that the car MUST be in road worthy condition and I dont think every skyline on the road is roadworthy. By saying that i mean some of us have cars that are too low or modified beyond the Australian Design Requirements. So therefore you wouldnt be covered to the full extent of your policy if they investigated right into it. Insurance companies have still payed the claim in several of these cases before and the still have the legal right not to.

I drove a 250rwkw R33 when i was on my P Plates and I was insured. I know alot of other P Plate drivers do the same, but I think you should be pretty sweet.

The main thing you have to worry about is making sure you tell your insurance company about EVERY single modification you do to the car. My mates car got stolen and the insurance claim didnt get paid because he didnt tell them about the 19inch wheels he had on his car because he thought he would try and save some money by not having to pay as much for his insurance policy. The insurance companies response was that the 19inch wheels made the car more attractive to theives and thats why they stole the car. Right or wrong the can legally back out of the Insurance Policy.

if the car was stolen, and never recovered, why the hell did he tell them it had 19's on it? if he didnt want to put them on his policy, he obviously didnt expect that he get more money in the event of a pay out to compensate for the wheels...

so if the car was gone, the only way the insurance company would know about the wheels is if he told them....what an odd thing to do

i think his plan was for the car never to be stolen or damaged :rofl:

obviously. but he said the wheels weren't listed on the policy, therefore how the hell did the insurance company know about the wheels if it was stolen and not recovered

dunno.. but im sure when he told the police it was missing he told them it had 19's.

well there you go...ya lie to the insurance company to save maybe a couple hundred dollars, and it costs you $15-20k.

Because the car was found 2 days later torched and it still had what remained of the wheels left on the car. The wreck was towed to the insurance holding yard and the car evaluated and it was then found that the car had been fitted with items not listed on the insurance policy

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
