maybe i missed something here...... let me get this straight........ your going have an accident.. and kindly ask the other person to say somebody else was driving your car ?

ok im only 22..... so im not very old or mature..... etc etc etc

but maybe some (keyword some) of you p platers shouldnt be driving these cars ???

if someone crashed into me and asked me to lie... it wouldnt be a hard choice id tell them to piss off... if they then told me i wouldnt get my car fixed unless i lied because there insurance is dodgy id still tell them to piss off and i'll see them in court.

maybe i misread and insurance fraud isnt the intention here :) if so i apologise, but jesus christ if you have to lie about your insurance you realy shouldnt be driving a skyline or bloody any car for that matter..

also this next bit is for the stupid ppl that still dont get it :( if you have an accident and you owe the other party something minor evan.. say $1000..

if you cant afford to pay it, $10 a week for the rest of your life isnt going to cut it...

not when you have a shiny new expensive skyline in your driveway ;)

Assets can be hidden very easily.

I don't encourage this at all, but I'm just trying to give another perspective.

cheers,

yeah your right but if you have an accident in your skyline..

its going to be pretty obvious you own a skyline :)

your sister gets $500?

can i be your receptionist? i type fast.

LOL no she doesn't shes only 13!! lol

She does get $100 a week for helping me sort all the items to be sent out, she loves it and it means I don't have to do all the pain in the ass jobs. For a 13 year old $100 a week is heaps. I make sure she saves it so she can buy a nice car for her 18th birthday.

LoL....let's hope I don't crash then.

Ok then ppl, what's the solution?

P Platers aren't going to stop driving cars over the limit, P platers are going to want insurance.

Please explain.

Also how often do insurance companies refuse to pay out in situations like this? I've never heard of it happening to someone I know before.

thats kinda like saying...

junkies arent going to stop taking drugs, so we might as well make them legal and easily accessible.

i dont mean p platers are like junkies btw.. was just the best analogy i could think of :D

Everyones opinion on this is going to be differant, as is the case with anything i guess.. but the FACTS are your illegaly driving the car, so the insurance company would be 100% correct if they decide to not pay you.

LoL @ the junkie analogy.

Hmmm I drive a high powered car...i'm as bad a junkie. LoL.

Well.....i want insurance and want a GTR! What should I do!

So far my little "post-accident plan" is the front runner.

Whoaaaa

I might have found a solution.

Was browsing the forums and stumbled on this thread:

In summation, you can get exemptions from the power to weight rule!!!!!!!!!!

Now if I were to get an exemption, I'm set. I'm happy, insurance company is happy. Yay!

I'm gonna ring Vicroads 2moro for the specifics........*jumps up and down*

Orrrrrrr

You could go out any buy everyone else in your family cars that are over power - weight limit then there is no other option in your "family"

Greg

LoL.

    • Or get a guy in his early fiftys to do it. A single good "oof" and about two cracks from his lower back is about the right tightness...
    • It's impossible to convey what it will feel like to get the right torque. But you can develop a feel for it. A 900mm breaker bar is.....f**king huge. I only use a normal ~400mm one. But with 900mm being very nearly a metre, and the right torque being in the order of 100Nm, then you're going to need a bit over 100N of force, which is about 10 kg. So if you practice using the bar pulling up, instead of pushing down, then it will be about the same effort as lifting a 10kg bucket of water. That's what the pressure against your fingers should feel like. Ish. If you use a more typical length breaker, then it's about twice that. So a good 20 litre bucket, or a little bit more.
    • Also, if anyone has a torque wrench around Williams Landing area and can lend it to me for like 5 mins - I got 4 bottles of Furphy left and I’ll throw that in with a Happy meal 😂
    • So today I decided to bleed my brake fluid, which meant to the wheels came off the car at my garage for the first time. I only had a 90cm breaker bar with me and I noticed that some 1 or 2 lug nuts were a bit hard to get loose (from when the shop did the coilovers) Now.... when it came to putting them back on, I didn't want to put all my weight and overtighten them. So I hand tightened as much as possible and then put normal pressure on the edge of the breaker bar and tightened it until I couldn't turn it anymore without putting in an effort. Do you think that is tight enough? Or is that still too tight?  They are tighter than finger tight. Last thing I want is to have them strip or warp sh*t. But hard times mean I can't just go down to Supercheap and get a torque wrench 🥺
    • Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees.
