hhmmm interesting news... sis was at kirrawee and talked to another owner/victim of a black R-32 gts-t m spec

Yidz had posted the theft for him, as the posts went along there was a reply from the thieves,

they bragged about the clutch slipping,that it wasnt going that hard and that it would go harder once his cousin put on his T88, then that it was on its way to QLD, then said if they had posted earlier they couldve worked something out (ransom).

this is about the 5th skyline that has been stolen from owners in the area (shire) in the last month.

Its a forum u cant track jack..

Moving along, I suggest people living somewhere which have there Location in the details of the forum remove them to prevent tracking if you sell something or so on.

And for god sakes buy a damn good alarm, its obvious they keep hitting alarmless cars and we all know how easy it is to access a Skyline, thanks to the stupid button on the side panel in our cars. Tell the installer to rewire this btw, so its only active when the key is in accessory mode.

Moving along, best alarm you can find (i dont care if you can afford it or not)

In this case its a little different and I feel extremely sorry for your sis. all the best in finding it. btw from the last string of cars being found they seem to wind up in bankstown with parts missing. I would suggest a drive around the suburb. prob contact the cops of the area and ask for car dump spots to check, train stations and so on.

Ill keep an eye out this way too. Cheers

There's been plenty of it going on lately around the area. The thing is, I don't know of one of the cars I have heard being stolen having an alarm and/or insurance so they are leaving themselves open to any person who wants to do this kind of thing.

That thread was interesting as it seemed pretty legit that this was the guy. Anyway, I didn't want to get involved in any of it and just posted it up generally for my mate.

Hense why I have taken everything of mine off of here...

Anyway back on topic. Sucks about the R34 mate. Looks like a tidy ride. Lets just hope all the insurance goes through all good. Good luck with it :P

Ditto - if I HAVE to park in a shopping centre I generally remove the steering wheel and take it with me (quick release steering wheel hub)... I have a small momo wheel, and I always carry a backpack in the car.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I've always approached this as, price is comparable between low temp and high temp fluid. Just put in the high temp fluid. I've not going to lose any sleep thinking about could I have saved $20 on brake fluid that is going to live in the car over the next 2 to 3 years.

      Nah, the creases were pretty large, and the sheet metal is pretty thin and hard to work out, time alone is in the hours to fix, and would probably have more bog than I would be happy with In other, more happy news, I gave MX5 Mania a call and they have a few clean boots available for $400 a peice, I've contacted Fineline and given them their contact details, I'm a idiot for not thinking of them sooner

      High temp brake fluid?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That really depends on how hot the brakes get and how much of any heat is transferred into the fluid. That really makes it at least a vehicle specific question, and more than like a specific vehicle specific question, depending on what brakes (ie stock, bigger rotors, different calipers) or even what pads are on it. And then there's the question of cooling air. Is there plenty stock? Is there no special cooling arrangements stock? Has some/more been added? In other words, I think you have to do the experiment to obtain the data. And if you;re worried - tie on some ducting?

      High temp brake fluid?

      By PranK · Posted

      In all the track days I've done over the past few months I've only had 1 issue with braking and thats with my current EBC pads (can't remember the colour, but they're not a track pad). I don't *think* I have had issues with brake fluid getting too hot, my understanding is that when that happens you will have quite noticeable brake loss - which I haven't had.  I'm using just regular ol' Penrite Super DOT4 fluid. I use this fluid in everything and my cars always seem to stop so I see no reason to change, except ... for the 335i. I need to do a fluid flush and was thinking about my fluid of choice and wondering if I should consider using something more high temp? Its not a super fast car by any standards but I'd hate to do a flush and then find myself with no brakes when I get. to Wakefield.  I guess, my question can be summed up as "How fast do you need to be driving to need higher temp brake fluid?"  I remember high temp fluid was considered a must have back in the day when I had my GTR.

      RB25DET in GTS4 R32 conversion

      By Jason Abell · Posted

      For anyone that comes here looking for answers on what can go wrong with gts-4 to rb25detneo swap. The Gloria's awd sump is different and does not fit. The rb25neo from stagea are exactly the same sump bolt pattern and axel alignment. Castings numbers are different on Gloria's blocks and oilpans if they need to be identified.
