On Wednesday night with the GTR sitting under the carport in the driveway behind a large gate some brain surgeon stuffed both door locks with scissors that broke off inside the lock barrels and put scratches in the lock surrounds and handles.

Fortunately the damage is minimal, but at the same time a real pain in the arse as we couldn't unlock it without using a coat hanger and now can't lock it until it’s fixed. The barrels were so badly damaged the key wouldn't work.

It's now in a secure warehouse with monitored alarm and the building is regularly checked by security guards. I’m not giving whoever it was a second chance to take it.

LOW LIFE BASTARDS <_<

i hate car theifs more than anything else (more than not being able to drift in Tassie on our tracks :P )

No good at all Stu.

Lucky they didn't get in but its still a pain in the arse to get everything fixed that they damage when if they just kept there grubby little hands off it in the first place there would be no problem.

Such a coincedance that they are all import based cars (mainly R31's) that have been targeted.

Wouldn't mind betting it was the same people as all the others, but its luck y we now have a leg up on these MOFO's and if they do try the next time with a car they tried before then they are in for a little supprise :P

Come on b!tch's come and have another go and then we will see how many more cars you touch that dont belong to you!!!!

WHo you getting to do the locks Benno, or you going to put new ones in and just use a different key???

Cheers B

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov

      CD009 RB Conversion

      That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
