i dont understand why people dont rig up a switch mounted under dash or anywhere hidden that cuts power supply to ignition/fuel pump/anything that makes the car start. such an easy cheap way to at least stop people driving off in your ride!

park it near the pedestrian entrance to the shopping centre, where more ppl walk by

that's quite common sense, I used to park in Macquarie Shopping Centre and do that

why? because I'm paranoid about my car been stolen which is a good thing.

Yes, they closed that thread pretty damn quickly. Didn't really say much after they got the car back.

All this BS means we need to take more precautions than the next driver. Imports are too much of a theft target.

If anyone is missing insurance/immobiliser/alarm- get them! Or you could lose your hard-earned car.

I checked NS forum, the dude didn't have alarm OR insurance.

There's a lesson.

Either the thieves have some sort of magical insurance radar to find the cars that arent insured, or a large majority of people dont have their cars insured at all!! I havent heard of ONE car stolen that has had insurance in a couple of years at least!!! :stupid:

that sucks, never hear many stories about commodores or falcons or excels getting stolen as much as imports..

I don't think everyone can afford insurance, I got quoted over 3k to insure my car, like wtf? its only a car thats worth around 14k?

Its cheaper to insure a lexus omg

That's not true but there does seem to be a large number of unprotected cars out there. Of course those other thieves - the insurance companies - don't help with their premiums and their policies. The other problem is people's priorities. They spend money on turbos or intercoolers or whatever instead of alarms and insurance. They spend it on new wheels instead of on track days. I could go on.

plenty of cars with insurance are stolen. it's just that the owners don't usually want to air out their business on forums, and just let the police and the insurance company do their work knowing that they will either be getting their car back, or a cheque. my car was stolen about a year ago, but of course it was insured so I didn't really have a need to post any "FARK!!! HELP MY CAR IS STOLEN" threads.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
