Except I have written off 2 cars in the past and my wife has done the same, and on all occasions I removed the tax disc (for a refund) along with all my belongings before any insurance inspector came and they never ask for it......only Mot certificate. 4 separate claims all from different insurers.

Bear in mind that if you insure it, then your insured and not him. At best he may be third party covered through his own insurance so he can legally drive it but thats not going to do any good if he write the car off. Get him to sign something but take the money before the drive IMO The piece of paper signed by a stranger wont mean nowt if anything does happen and he decides he aint paying for it. Get him to pay for the tax off you on top of the sale price if he buys the car, else get a refund on it. Its always the problem when selling a car unfortunatly.

Are you sure....it wouldn't really be a law thing its down to your insurer, it would have to state the clause on the policy. If your done for no tax you dont get prosecuted for no insurance.

Im pretty sure that applies to when they are trying to prosecute after an event and you have not dislosed who the driver was.

no, lack of road tax does not affect insurance policy,

Surely the person driving is legally responsible not the owner. I would insist he gets his own insurance before the test drive and would'nt worry about the tax, thats his problem if he is caught.

The R35 and F355 are fantastic road cars, but the person who buys Rocket Ronnies skyline wont be looking for a road car he will be looking for a car he can use in competition race events.

Welcome :D

Did he still owe customers, if so then thats 4x Z specialists that disapeared that I know of while still oweing Although I believe 1 of them was being held under her majestys service so he was'nt technically missing :x:

Boost solenoid connector, you have a boost controller fitted ?

Lots of them are like that.

That car is leagues above anything else, very impressive. I have more Magazines features and Videos of it that any other car out there.

Looks great Lee. :cool:

There is no advantage to one. I fitted one as it was all I could get hold of at the time and the only difference is the bellhousing thickness. I believe Mark was suggesting that if somebody is looking to do a manual conversion and NA rear end conversion it could be handy to get the lot from the same donor car.

Nice one Mac. Just needs to post up the dyno sheet so it can be added to the leader board then. Its in one of the subscribed member sections Im afraid.

Kaminari, my favourite too. Nobody sells here, would have to buy from the states, but unfortunately the shipping is quite hefty becuae of the size.

lol cant remember...there is a thread in National events for it. Look forward to seeing it on the track :cool:

You going to be at Castle combe for Japfest Mark ?

Yeh, Im running an NA box. its just the inside edge near where the starter motor mounts that is thicker on the NA box, grinded it down a bit and went together without problems. :D I then just spaced out the starter with a couple of thick washers. You could retain NA flywheel, but then your limited by the aftermarket NA clutch choices

Looks nice. Autostyle mats are great quality.

not really, the shape and size of the part between the end of the door and the wheel arch is different, rather than just the total length.

Flywheel. Compared to 276/280 for the Manual btw - For the U.S Market they list the Manual as 300 and the Auto as 280.

Its not a massive weight difference in comparison to total weight, but makes a nice saving as part of an overall weight reduction plan. You can expect more traction issues though in 1st/2nd because of the lower ratio quicker acceleration...just like any significant power increase really. Cost - I guess anything from £50-£250 for a complete NA rear end, and then labour to fit. I did the swap on my own in about half a day with the aid of a ramp, although I also spent several evenings dissembling, cleaning, painting,polybushing and rebuilding it. Optional Extras like Adjustable arms, subframe spacers, polybushes, one-piece prop..etc would all cost more ofcourse.

I think it was officially CJ's old motor, although I hear the new owner has had to pretty much take it apart and redo it. Mac's has the most potential but not sure if he has had any recent dynos?
