Again, Prob rock up in bankstown .. I'd search bankstown streets for it ..

Ive noticed a jump in the amount of cars stolen from the city and surrounding areas! my friends BMW 325i got nicked from chinatown the other night.. a 325!! hello its a bema! not to mention it was ripped off in chinatown at 12am.. busy!?!

I reakon people with insurance dont get there cars ripped off because we put in so much money to insure and protect it via alarms, kill switches and so on that its almost impossable. minus a truck that is.

Im gettin very scared that people are choosing to do this, from now on im disabiling my engine from firing when I park it.

Good luck with the recovery. seems someone is building a very powerful skyline and a very powerful fd. either that or boosting them to sell but i doubt that.

Wow thats luck!!! .. Damn lucky.. I bet you he believes in god/insurance now..

Prob was cummin back for it later..

FOR ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE AN EXTERNAL TURBO TIMER!!!

A TURBO TIMER CAN BE USED TO HOT WIRE THE CAR!!! HENCE WHY THEY ARE ILLEGAL, HENCE WHY YOU GET THE TT BUILT INTO THE VEHICLE!!

Edited by DECIM8

If you have a good alarm, you put it in place way before the turbo timer is able to activate anyway :) Ignition wires are no good to anyone if they're dead...

However, if you don't have an alarm, yes you'll get a couple of extra seconds of protection as they don't have to hunt for your ignition wires.

you dont need a turbo timer anyway, they're just for you lazy bastards that cant be bothered sitting in the car for another 20 seconds or so

anyway good to see he found it, i bet he'll be getting insurance quick smart

thats crazy!

im glad i dont have a turbo timer or an alarm,it makes me more careful about where i park my car.

And if i have to park my car somewhere dodgey like shops,,i take the excel.Attention isn't always a good thing.

And dont back into parking spots,it makes for a quicker getaway for a theif.

you're glad you don't have an alarm?

I'll await your 'stolen' thread next week then :)

Many of us have an alarm AND follow the precautions you just listed (eg. taking another car instead). Not having an alarm is asking for trouble man.. I hope for your sake the next stolen thread isnt yours! :)

Edit: Oops - beat me to it Doof.. haha

glad to hear it was found. still cheaper options if you cant afford full coverage, like a quiktrak alarm or something, its not 100% but still very very good, my mates car was stolen and tracked down within a few hours with quiktrak...fact is you shouldn't really be parking your car anywhere but in a garage if you dont have a good alarm or comp.

maybe he's just smart enough to have insurance

Insurance wouldn't be valid on an import without an approved alarm and immobiliser anyways... its one of the conditions.. well at least to 99% of insurers .. there may be an odd one out there though??

btw congrats on getting the car back... insurance should of been the first call made once you found it.

When i eventually get around to washing it, I'll let you know :worship:

normally no, it's shit like "Whack kids be settin off my motion sensors with their stickball game!!!"

but in more computerised car-talky lingo...

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
