If you're not going to list your mods, then might as well not get insurance. The company will surely try to get out of paying any money by saying "we didn't know you had those mods, so we're not going to pay". Apparently Just Car are like this, hence you have to list everything.

As for needing comprehensive, I've heard that you do, but don't quote me on that.

yea i have been told with all banks that i initially went to get a loan was that you will need it comprehesivly insured as that way if you write it off and cant pay back the loan the bank will just take the money from the insurance claim...

also tell them everything thats on your car as r32skyliner said you had may as well not have insurance otherwise.

on that note i had better update my policy :D

2 questions that i would love some help on r...... If i take a loan out 2buy my skyline does that mean i need full compo insurance an the other is should i list mods or take the gamble without listing them!!!!

depends. if you take the loan out as a car loan then yes they want you to insure it.

but if you take the money out as personal loan then you dont need to do so..

With an automotive loan, you are required to take out comp insurance on any mortgaged property ( the car ) as the car is the security. To qualify for a personal loan you must display affordability and a proven repayment plan of some form of previous payment, or be assett backed. ( home owner/buyer ) if you don't supply a certificate of currency for a secured loan you will not be approved .

As for insurance!!!!!! There is a matter of whats called (duty of disclosure)

meaning if you do not list all and any mods and accessories to the enth degree ANY insurer can and will decline to honour any claim made for whatever reason.

These parameters are not negotiable from lenders and insurers.

Pay the money and get the correct coverage or change vehicles to a lesser risk vehicle.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      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!

      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!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      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.
