I religously start my car and run it for at least 5 minutes before I drive it every morning, so the remote start would save me walking out to the garage. And yes false alarms are a pain in the butt - but what's the alternative?! Better be over-protected than some dickwit steal your car or your stuff. Remeber, I had my car broken into within 5 minutes of me leaving it in Kensington Park - in the middle of the day. These crooks have no respect or fear whatsoever. I am soooooo close to leaving my car at Tea Tree Plaza one arvo and watching it from a distance with a few mates and a baseball bat. It is very out of control - the crooks know they hardly get punished, so keep doing it. When they can't walk or use their fingers anymore they won't be able to rip-off people's pride-and-joy.

Looks like "The 34" won't be on the road until November at this stage. We are off to the USA in 9 days and don't get back until the end of September - so it will go in for compliance in October sometime. Can't wait!

i couldnt belive what they did with your S15, would have been nice to have a rock handy and take out their rear windscreen :D

have to organise a cruise the weekend after you get it complied :D

yep, will do for sure!!!

I'm still acquiring bits and pieces to fit before I get it on the road - I have quite a little collection under my bed.

The wheels have gone in to be repainted, and I currently have the stockies on the car (as per my sig pics) - I quite like the stockies - but my dish rims will be unreal when I get them back :D

i understand the perspective you coming from andrew particualr since you've experienced it first hand. persoanlly, i just cant stand the false alarms - hasnt happened on the 33 but the sil gets it all the time. thing is though, when an alarm goes off a majority of people just ignore it as they assume its only a false alarm when in fact that may not be the case. i guess this is where the pager then comes in handy.

yep, my thoughts exactly Duc. People barely look when a car alarm goes off these days.

I found this nice pic (below) in my travels - thought I'd share it with you all. If anyone wants it in 1280 x 960 for their desktop let me know and I'll email the original to you.

yep, and an " as many point possible " immoboliser to prevent the bitches takin off with the car, i always try to leave my car in a place where its easily visible anyways, i'd rather park it sumwhere like that than in the far corner of a car park where its hard to see

    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
