Haha they will get over it in due time mate. Atleast you know your parents give a shit about you :P

Indeed there is always someone worse off. And for what it's worth, there's a reason insurance companies don't insure cars on the race track...because cars end up in sidewalls all the time. Just one of the expenses of motorsport, and if the late great Peter Brock can crash then anyone can.

Can't replace the things we love and lost but you can save up and get something better to take your mind off it :(

Take care mate!

Adam,

Yes they'll be over it cos Motorsport injuries aren't same as injuries sustained from playing ball sports.

I'm just happy that I walked away from the crash to be honest.

And have you sent the laynards yet?

Cheers

Grant

And fair enough too :D

No need to post them mate, its no body's business.

No doubt we'll see you in something soon :)

I'm sorry but if you had half a brain you'd lie about it and get a payout.. and if u don't lie about it.. you pretty much don't get paid out, and if u do, its hapened before and all they do is STILL REJECT your claim if they find out.. they will not try and dick you for fraud.. thats my 2 cents.. anyway....... O_O and if you've had a good history.. even the better reason to try.

You do realise insurance fraud is a rather serious criminal offence and punishable by the law, leading to you then having a criminal record.

You then would not be insurable on-top of that among quite a number of other issues

It was done @ a Motosport event, with what - 100 or so people on the grounds...

Possibly the dumbest thing I've seen posted this year mate, its that type of stupid attitude and reasoning that is putting all OUR premiums up.

Ash,

Thanks, I hope I'll pop up to events in future, I'm hoping to make it to Go Kart night in couple weeks time but my parents are arriving home that night hmm...

And please no more debate/dribble about insurance. Motorsport events means you're not INSURED, end of the story.

Cheers

badluck grant, atleast yous are ok. like you said, cars a replaceable..a humans life on the other hand isnt. but it is a shame about the car..saw it a few times..on the GOR and at status when u came in..goodluck on your next buy..hopefully its still a skyline.

Hey Grant,

Good to see you and your brother came out unscathed from the incident, i see these situations very frequently and some do not recover aswell as you guys did. You'd be surprised how many people have been in this situation, as I said on the day, you're not the first and definetly not the last. The guy with the GT3RS was devistated, and still is after 3 years!!!! I guess turning a $280k car into a ball does that to you.

Was more than happy to help out on the day, nothing worse than being stuck out there not knowing how to get the car back safely. Remember if you need any other help just let me know....

Stay safe.....

Jack

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
