If you're going tp speak to Shannons, get in touch with the guy from this board. I wouldn't just ring them and speak to anyone.

Shannons will cover you for track days according to their documentation but I don't know how much extra it would cost.

As for Just Cars choice of repairer, they essentially let you choose but you have to use a JC approved repairer. That's what I had to do anyway :)

Madaz,

When I spoke to Shannons they didn't ask what the car was going to be used for or where.

It was just the usual insurance type questions.

Does it have an immobiliser, garaged, under finance (which its not and would have added another ~250 on the premium) and what modifications.

GFXman, trackday insurance does cost more. I believe they cover skill improving type education courses. Not sure if Motorkhana fits that bill or not.

If Famous Classic Car Insurance still around? They used to be based in WA but offered excellent premiums and pay by the month.

Their excess was also a tad nicer than just cars also.

JCI quote system on the net told me Id be paying 2,200 dollars a year full comprehensive insurance for a 32 Godzilla being bought for 20gs with minor mods. Ill make another quote now and see what the difference is if the car was stock. (Im 20). Shannons is another one, Ill ask an insider there to see what its like for people under 25, I have done alot of Classic Adelaide work and have got to know a few people from there over few years I've been volunteering.

      I'd say the easiest way is, pick up a extended and baffled sump with fittings already welded on. Here is an example, it has 3 x -10 fittings  https://shop.maatouksracing.com.au/products/rb-extended-and-baffled-sump

      hey OP can you remind me what the actual question was, I got sidetracked at V12. Do you have an turbo oil return leak and an unidentified coolant leak? The factory oil returns are terrible design; short, rubber and expensive to replace. They are very common to fail and a pain to replace because they are so short. Still, they are available new if you want to replace both last time I checked. For the coolant leak, any competent mechanic should be able to do a pressure test; that should show up where the leak is. It is almost certainly one of the billion 30 year old rubber lines which are now brittle as hell, you engine will be fine.

      Shifting questions

      By dbm7 · Posted

      From the OP's description, sounds to me like the TCU is in 'limp home' mode --- that is, no actuation power to shift solenoids, and the EPC valve is shut (full line pressure). This effectively sticks the box in 3rd gear, with as much line pressure as possible, to try hold the high clutch clamped shut....and so you get woeful acceleration and don't feel any shifts (because they're not happening). If you don't have Consult or some other scanner to interrogate the TCU itself, you can test with a multimeter to see if it's in limp home mode....ie; stick it in D with engine at idle (hold vehicle with hand/foot brake), and measure the voltage at the TCU feeding shift solenoids A & B -- both should be ON (battery voltage). If they are energized at the TCU, you can unplug the harness from the TCU, and check resistance down through the wiring to the solenoids themselves -- you should see about 20ohms on each coil --- if you do, you can presume the wiring to shift solenoids is OK -- if both measure open circuit, you have to check intermediate connectors in the loom down to the gearbox (and the gearbox connector itself), and check the shift solenoid resistance at the gearbox connector itself --- if the shift solenoids test open circuit here, problem is in the box (ether the solenoids or wiring to them is bad). If you get no voltage at TCU connector for the shift solenoids (and the solenoids/wiring test OK), check powers/grounds to the TCU itself --- if they're ok, it suggests the TCU is the culprit (and you'd need to interrogate it if possible, to find out why it's behaving badly)...

      Honestly, for a daily I would gladly rock a Camry. The more disposable the better. People drive horribly out here and road conditions are awful.
