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.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
