The other day after washing my car I returned to my appartment to find my storage cage in the under ground secure car park had been broken into, and all 4 17" Advan RG's were stolen. They also all had new rubber on them :D.

I had them in there as I was going to get them re-rolled after an accident I had with them. Three of them need re-rolling and one of those three is cracked and buckled. I did however find a place which could fix that crack and re-roll them for me and I was looking forward to doing that.

If anyone sees any Gold 17" Advan RG's around for sale could they let me know.

that sucks, but at least they were stolen before you fixed them....would have been worse if you had spent the $$ to get them fixed and then they were stolen...

haha, the thieves probably thought they were getting mint condition mags, they'll get a shock later on :D

Does your bodycorp insurance cover any theft from the carpark?

That was gonna be my qn too as it's kinda on "common property" down there, although on a techincality, it may be considered your property being the apartments storage area.

Being out of sight, there's a fair chance the thief MAY be an associate of resident in your block.

There was a burgular in the apartments next to my work last week.

Followed a car in through rolladoor, disarmed door panel so he didn't get locked in, sprayed paint over camera lenses & broke into the cars in the underground car park.

OMG Mic,

So sorry to hear this seeing as I used to live in the same building and we used to park next to each other.

Their were some guys in my section of the building that used to admire my car and were obviously aware of japanese cars. They were always checking out my car when I pulled up and had talked to me about it a couple of times. They would be the only suspects I could think of and I don't really want to point the finger either. I would do a door knock and flyer drop, I would also suggest you look into my section of the building the second yellow door at the front where the entrance to apartment 24 & 25 are.

My storage container was right next to yours and I stored all my stock parts and 4 x S15 rims with tyres and 4 x S14 rims with tyres and spare tread. This would suggest it would be someone new to the building because if they had been living there previously they would've stolen all my stuff as well.

best bet would be to do the idea Kam said... put a flyer in the window or make those shops aware that stolen property might cross their path... They have to fix them or they're useless to them. Plus selling damaged rims gets you a very little return. At least they wont make money out of this... the pieces of shit that they are

.... they weren't on the car?

How sure of that are you?

Now, let's suppose one of the theives knew a thing or two about cars.

Is it not possible that they saw that one was damaged, and decided to see if they rolled right?

Is it not possible that they decided to do so by trying them on a car?

Is it not possible that they chose the nearest available (i.e. yours)

Is it not possible that they happened to have a tyre iron with them (they had to pry their way intot the secure cage somehow)

Is it not possible that they put the rims on the car, just to make sure that they rolled right, and fit on the car properly?

Therefore, is it not possible that you would, in fact be covered by insurance?

Of course, it's also possible that the rims were never taken off the car, but infact were stolen from the car itself. :unsure:

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      By hypergear · Posted

      Updating results following our SR20det project. Data collected form improves future turbocharger making and high flowing services. So far differences between G and GT series turbine wheels, we are in the process of making a new turbine, the aim is for better mid top range flow without gain too much lag.  Result is back to back comparison of G25-660 and GTX2867 spec turbochargers on the same car, nothing changed apart from turbocharger. Both tuned to knock limit from pump 98 fuel (US Ron93). GTX2867 was about 400RPM more responsive making 255rwkws while G25-660 made 17 extra Kws with wider spread of torque after 4500RPM finishing off at 272rwkws.

      Swapped rb25de neo how to get the gear indication on the dash to work

      By romel · Posted

      @GTSBoy i tried to jumper the wires and got the steering wheel light to come on which is right under the gear indication but that still doesnt come on.  Can it be an issue with my cluster?

      Given that you have seen the dash indicator work briefly, then it would seem like you have a simple wiring problem. What happens when you simply jumper the wires on the "steering wheel switch"?

      The Ls1 R33 Of Fury

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Yesterday's day in review: All the wiring to the lights up the front how I want it, is ran, terminated, and all to length. The only lighting up front I haven't finished is the side indicators, as I need to get to the partly cutup factory loom, and find the plugs for them. Interesting note, the side indicators use the exact same plug that's in the doors for something else that I don't remember what it is... So that plug better be careful...   Power steering solenoid, on the R33 is variable, and from memory PWM. The Ford's control from the docs I have so far, is it's just a on or off control. So I'm not sure it's what I want, and in any case, power steering running, but at its heaviest (solenoid off) is likely what I'll want anyway, so I'm not yet touching it at all. All the wiring I can complete so far, is done. There are 3 wires I need to make a plug for at the ECU, and these are just for the vehicle speed sensor, of which I need to get a T5 from an AU, so I can use its output that has the speed sensor on it. (My car doesn't have ABS, otherwise I'd set it up to use one of the ring gears on that). I need to buy new headlight globes and front parker globes, otherwise I could show photos of lights working. Current fuel lines in and out on this motor are "5/16". I'll order hardline, and some AN fittings for that, and I just need to 100% check fuel line size at the tank end, to get the ends for it. I'm also looking at a few options for the banjo bolts to AN fittings for the power steering rack. I'll pull the reservoir off the Barras PS pump. There's an off the shelf fitting for that pump for a -10 AN feed, and it'll use a 16mm to dash -6 an outlet to feed the rack. I'll be making my own power steering reservoir, I'm going through the thought process at the moment of how I'll run the baffles, and I need to research another idea for it too.

      Coc or nox of nissan skyline

      Two inlet runners changes the engines characteristics requiring less fuel to make torque at different points in the rev range. The smaller diameter inlet runners on the DET increases air flow speed, which improves atomisation of fuel, particularly in low load/idle for better burn, and in specific areas of the engine, (areas you would use when driving normally) increases the efficiency. All of those items change how efficient the engine is at different speeds. The changes on the neo help slightly to improve emissions where it matters. The overall improvements won't be the likes of going from an engine built in the 70s to an engine built in the 2000s, it's just a small step. But still leaves it the RB with the best chance of improvement.   As for your comment about the whole using a cat to not need to worry about those gases. Two things, no system is 100% perfect. It won't eliminate everything. So reduce the quantity you put into it, you still reduce the output. Two, make that system do less work, and it's likely to survive a little bit longer. Funnily enough to, one trick employed to get cats up to temp, AND to drastically reduce emissions before they get up to temp, is to reduce ignition timing.
