yea a few people have told me they heard something about a bigh speed chase on the news, but i didnt hear anything about it..

anyone got a link to a news article?

the cops said they were involved in 3 chases with my car, and all 3 had to be called off due to high speeds..

im VERY lucky my car is still in 1 piece

also, saw a burnt out 4 door 32 on the back of a truck at nisswreck, had black rims.. so anyone missing a 4 door might want to have a look..

CAR RECOVERED!

Dude Im real happy u got ur ride back. Really shits me off that this stuff happens. I find myself looking in my rearview when im coming home so I can see if any buttplugs are following me....do a loop sometimes n all... I got a nice alarm system (which im gonna upgrade to GPS tracking +GSM notification) and 2 big ass dogs but u know, never put it past some ambitious person :rofl:

Hopes u get that alarm fitted soon :domokun:

-D

Thanks guys!

It just sucks that some people dont get there car back the way i did.. i think id rather have my car written off then for it to dissapear and stripped and to never know what happened to it..

Got any more info on this GSM notification alarm?

I have the Autowatch 456Rli... its a sweet alarm.... has inbuilt turbo timer which is configurable from 0-90-180 second engine cutout, as well as remote engine cutout (handy if u get pulled over, they wont know u got a timer built in)...immobilizer auto arms after 30 seconds which suits me fine, I even tested the car for going for a drive after disarming the alarm but not the imobilizer and it cut out after 30 secs of driving and was unstartable by any means.... very nice imho

They have plugin modules for everything from boot releases, to GSM to GPS tracking... i personally dont know jack about those addons, but so far the autowatch systems are the go for the skylines atm. I got mine fitted by George at Adelaide Pro Sound (Adelaide) on South Road.... he did a top job....I can highly recommend him, and he certainly knows his stuff about the rest. I'll be going to him soon as Ive fixed the more important stuff on the car.... (front diff anyone? *sob*)

-D

PS and for the love of *insert deity*, get your car insured. Seriously. One gone every 2 weeks, some recoverable, some not. DO NOT be a statistic.

    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
    • Hi guys, has anyone either purchased or built themselves a rotisserie for their car before? I can only just justify the need for one hence why I should just make one but at the same time, if I make one I can kiss another 4 weeks of potentially productive car working time goodbye because I'm building a bloody rotisserie....  I mainly want it for the application of the body deadener.  Cleaning the old stuff off, priming and then colour over the deadener doesn't worry me, it's just the application using the Schutz Gun that I feel would achieve a significantly better finish painting it side on and keeping the Schutz Gun upright.  I don't think they would work well on the side let alone almost upside down for some areas.  If the product I use (Terosun, etc) could work through a HVLP ok then it might be ok to apply without the rotisserie.   I can get one of these style ones for about $1200 which is pretty good value-     I reckon if I made one it would cost around $500 but it's more the time that it would take is more of a killer than the cost.  They look to hold their value pretty well second hand so I could always sell it after using it and realistically only lose $200-$300 at worst.  Or keep it and buy another project when this one finally sees the light of day... Anyone selling one...? Cheers!  
    • While it is a very nice idea to put card style AFMs into the charge pipe (post intercooler, obviously), the position of the AFM and the recirc valve relative to each other starts to become something that you really have to consider. The situation: The stock AFM is located upstream the turbo, and the recirc valve return is located between the AFM and the turbo inlet, aimed at the turbo inlet, so that it flows away from and not through the AFM. Thus, once metered air is not metered again, neither flowing forwards, or backwards, when vented out of the charge pipe. When you put the AFM between the turbo outlet and the TB, there is a volume of pressurised charge pipe upstream of the AFM and there is a volume of pressurised pipe downstream of the AFM. When the recirc valve opens and vents the charge pipe, air is going to flow from both ends of the charge pipe towards the recirc valve. If the recirc valve is in the stock location, then the section between it and the TB doesn't really matter here - you're not going to try to put the AFM in that piece of pipe. But the AFM will likely be somewhere between the intercooler and the recirc valve, So the entire charge pipe volume from that position (upstream of the AFM, back through the intercooler, to the turbo outlet) is going to flow through the AFM, get registered as combustion air, cause the ECU to fuel for it, but get dumped out of the recirc valve and you will end up with a typical BOV related rich spike. So ideally you want to put the AFM as close to the TB as possible (so, just upstream of the crossover pipe, assuming that the stock crossover is still in use, or, just before the TB if an FFP is being used) and locate the recirc valve at the turbo outlet. Recirc valve at the turbo outlet is the new normal for things like EFRs anyway. In the even of a recirc valve opening dumping all the air in the charge pipe, pretty much all of it is going to go backwards, from the TB to the recirc valve near the turbo outlet. But only a small portion of it (that between the TB and the AFM) will pass through the AFM, and it will pass through going backwards. The card style AFMs are somewhat more immune to reading flow that passes through them in reverse than older AFMs are, so you should absolutely minimise the rich pulse behaviour associated with the unavoidable outcome of having both a recirc valve and an AFM in the charge pipe.
    • Yep, in my case as soon as I started hearing weird noises I backed off the tension until it sounded normal again. Delicate balance between enough tension to avoid that cold start slip and too much damaging things.
