Friend sent this to me... I don't know how legit this is, but it sure is good to know something like this....

WARNING from NRMA and Police

You walk across the car park, unlock your car and get inside.

Then you lock all your doors, start the engine and shift into

REVERSE, and you look into the rear-view mirror to back out of

your parking space and you notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window.

So, you shift the gear stick back into PARK, unlock your doors and jump out off your car to

remove that paper (or whatever it is) that is obstructing your view. When you reach the back of your

car, that is when the car-jackers appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off!!

Your engine was running, you would have left your purse in the car and they practically

mow you down as they speed off in your car.

BE AWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED IN SYDNEY AND COULD SPREAD ACROSS AUSTRALIA

Just drive away and remove the paper that is stuck to your window later, and be thankful that you read this email.

Hope you will forward this to friends and family. A purse contains all identification, and you certainly do NOT want someone getting

your home address. Especially when they already HAVE your HOUSE KEYS!!!

in my car, once started, doors are closed and seatbelt is on my alarm activates the anti-hijack. As soon as i open any doors and take my seatbelt off the car starts to cut out after 2 mins. The only bad thing about it is that when i get home i cant get out and let the turbo timer do the job for me.

1st of all..

I got this email a few years ago, before I even had a car.

lol @ using real life things as spam mail.

good point whoever said u would probably see it before u got in.. but anything is possible.. if someone wants ur car they're gonna try their hardest to get it.

that girl on your bonnet will do a fine job obstructing me. alien were did you find her? more to the point does she have a sister

I'm up for going halves. :lol:

Sorry for getting all your high hopes back down.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
