Why do we bother having nice cars and maintaining nice cars when little shit heads come along and wreck them. My bootlid latch is now half hanging off thanks to some little pricks that either had nothing better to do or were trying to break into my car via the boot. Not to mention the 2 key scratches left on my boot by some other little **** nuts just after I had it cut and polished. So now I'm left with a useless boot lock, with the option being I buy another one and I have 2 keys to get into my car or I just pull it off, seal it up and I have to open the boot via the latch inside... thanks. Not sure where this happened at home or at work, but I get the feeling it was at work today... **** I hate cannington, full of shit heads.

This happened to me too a while ago..... I looked around and found a new lock from a wrecker, stripped the two locks down and swapped the badge's.... End up costing me around $80 and about an hour of my time. I didn't need two keys either.

Rob - my car was also badged in Cannington (at the sevenoaks college) now I have a stupid hole in the side of my car. I am in two minds about whether to put a cheap nismo or something similar badge there or to get the GT badge... but why waste my money when it will just get stolen again. The thing that annoys me the most is that its prolly stupid little kids with no car - just so they can put the badge in their collection in their room.

well the only way to open my boot is from the latch inside ..... so something similars probably happened to my car before it changed hands.

My mum had her car keyed down the side in High Wycombe ....... just makes me so angry that jealous pricks will wreck your property and theres really not much that can be done about it. :)

Yeah, same thing happens at the shops. If you catch someone stealing you cant call them a thief or hurt them whilst detaining them... screw that, give them a few wacks while no-ones looking and just say that tripped over or ran into something :) I get the feeling I know who it was who did it... over the last 2 weeks been getting a lot of little aboriginal kids in the store and I've been throwing them out, although my cars parked at the back, I wouldnt be suprised if they walked around and decided they wanted the nissan badge off the back. I cant understand that, its not like its a special skyline badge, its just a plain old nissan badge that protects the keyhole... I could understand if it was a skyline badge or something, cos you cant get them that easily...

Totally agree - what do they get out of doing crap like that, let's face it what are they going to do with them.

Although not bad, I had my tyre valve caps (all 4) stolen not long after I got my car - they were shiny red metal ones that were on the car from Japan. Its not that they got nicked (can't believe some people would even bother) but that someone got that close to my car without me or anyone else knowing. That is what worries me but thank goodness they did nothing else. Needless to say just have plain black plastic ones from Big W on there now.

Cheers, Al

I went to the shops once and came out a different exit to approach my car from the other direction to spy a tu*d starting to lever off my guard badge. Got right next to him without him knowing and stood over him as he was crouching beside the car hiding. When he looked up in shock I never said a word but punched him fair in the lughole. Talk about squeeling like a stuck pig:) He scampered off still squeeling and holding his ear.

Geez that was satisfying

At the shops someone just walked past my Corolla and grabbed the strip that runs down the side of the windscreen and tore it up so it was sticking out when we came back to the car. What makes people do that? There is no money to be made by destroying others car for no reason other than to watch the person get P*$#ed off when they come back. Ah well. Rob, hope you find a boot lock at a reasonable price.

    • I ❤️ Matty I would like to thank Matty for going out his way in securing me a OEM NC detachable hard top for the NC Matty, your worth your weight in gold, and I cannot say how much I really appreciate your outstanding help I'll get it colour matched once I pick it up sometime in Dec-Jan 😁  
    • We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning. 
    • Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.
    • You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.
    • Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
