Car parked for two weeks. Now problems

[r33_gtst]

Could be the classic case of them thrashing car. Car goes in there without problems and comes out with broken stuff (sometimes they accidently damage or unplug stuff when removing, fitting panels). If you leave car with a panel beater, most in the know remove engine, looms, etc, so car can't be thrashed or damaged by heat from bake oven, etc. Sometimes you are lucky and they don't


It's probably the strength of arms (I have seen photo's of rear aftermarket chromed arms that have snapped in half when car was driven on road), quality of balljoints (some have to have nipples to be lubed and protected from dust), etc.

Nismo usually run hard rubber bushes for road spec cars (harder rubber than factory bushes), as don't need lubing like Nolathane bushes, balljoints, produce better handling than with factory bushes, etc (they say it makes car feel like new).

Also when some lower cars, they fit higher than necessary spring rates (without doing the calculations) that cause traction problems in wet, dry conditions, snowy conditions when cornering. I've seen some run extreme spring rates on racetrack (more than what's required) and car is like on ice when cornering (dry racetrack). Imagine that on the road in snowy conditions???

I would think they do know the potential risks from previous experiences with similar modified cars. You have to see it from their point of view, if car loses traction and plows into something, who pays for it????

Thanks for the info, appreciate it

^^. That's why I unloaded my WD21 Pathfinder, disclosure of 4x4 mods was going to double my premium. Funny as it's now cheaper for me (insurance wise) to drive the Skyline, than the 95 Pathfinder.
R33_gtst - I'm with Lant and have had no issues. Might want to save the under the hood info for a non-open source forum. Getting tanked by an insurance company is generally not a good thing. All the best.

Thanks, dealt with.
When you went with Lant did you disclose all your mods?
We're there any issues?
I hope I can get a decent policy with them, I'm don't with state farm

^ not much to disclose / I'm stock (not including wheels, strut tower bars etc.). Mike at Right Drive put me in touch with them and I don't believe disclosed mods are an issue. No issues so far and it works for me (not a DD policy/program).
