I was using Classic cars insurance originally but when some old lady stalled her car at the lights and rolled into the front of my car , they were the most rude and arogant Pr#@ks to talk to and deal with .

Will never recomend them to anyone.

This is the case with most of them though and hopefully you, me, will never have to. ie never have bad luck and have to make a claim.

I have tryed Shannons and they dont seem interested in an imported R32GTR.

just my thought's

Rather than edit my original post, I just thought I'd take back a few things said about shannons. I believe once insured with them they will honour your insurance etc. and are apparently very good to deal with for claims etc (what i've heard). I was just "voicing" my concerns, which dont appear to be valid.

I will stand by my comment about people who own modified stageas will more than likely be an enthusiast about their car. But a lot hangs on one's interpretation of "enthusiast".

So what i've realised is that I dont have any problem with Shannons - the company. I just dont agree with their stance on who they insure...

and most of that comes down to their advertising. I think their TV advertising is very misleading and I'm sure its resulted in a big increase in calls where people have been turned away.

I wont be going with them because, well...I cant. Enthusiast or not, they've refused me so I have no option.

      This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.

      Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.

      The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.

      But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
