That Territory has actually run a PB of 11.4!

I just want to know how he got paid through his insurance company?

I guess they didn't investigate too hard :dry: sucks for the rest of us monkeys paying premiums and doing the right thing.

Can it be re-regoed?

if its on the REVS or VIV lists, then it needs to be reinspected (and the inspection's done by a proper engineer who checks welds n everything) before it can be reregistered.

Apparently he said that he crashed outside WSID and they paid him out on that basis. :dry: LOL

That Territory is down to an 11.1sec pass.

And that is a lot of damage for the speed that the GTR backed into the wall, so as Chris Easton says - Say No To Concrete!!

That was the R33 that crashed at WSID when we were their last time watching at the start line. I don't think it was that highly modded, but somehow the owner lost control and crashed it. Dodgey insurance claim FTW.

that really pisses me off. I have crashed at eastern creek (circuit, and not badly just minor cosmetics, but still expensive!) before, and there weren't any photos of it happening etc. so sure I probably could have lied and claimed, but the thought never crossed my mind as it's not the right thing to do. Now I get fking screwed on premiums because of other wankers dodgey claims. nasty.

    • Not sure if you're being serious? I, and all the car people i know, ALWAYS use a torque wrench for wheel nuts. I assumed any car person, apart from tyre centre monkeys with rattle gun in hand, would do it properly.  Anyway, no further reply from me on this unless legit discussion from OP or his query so, over to you, knock yerself out.
    • I was wondering about this. I'll do some research.
    • Why not? Since mines been built, I've used low boost maybe 5 times.
    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
