I think it's a top idea. It would be a great deterrent,,,but not theft proof. Illegal,,,you guy's make me laugh,,,how many of you guys have "Legal" cars? I'll bet none.

Not many scum bags are going to have the replacement wheel to suit the boss and getting that boss off without a puller would be very time consuming and a down right pain in the arse.

As for the airbags,,,please airbag don't save lives,,,.seat belts do. Airbags were only ever invented because lazy bloody yanks won't put seatbelts on.

Half the time they don't go off and the other half they go off after hitting a pot hole.

Where would you put the steering wheel after you take it off? you would have carry it around with you...lol

with the amount of crap or 'accesories' kids carry on them these days,i wouldn't be suprised if it became some new fad.

I think you should just get alarm, immobiliser and insurance, a kill switch if you are paranoid. In the end if someone really wants to steal your car, they can always put it on the back of a flat bed. No removable steering wheel is going to prevent that :P

LOL!!! good morning.

Insurance is the only way these days. I've been told stories of vehicles keep at secure parking facilities (defence establishment) and still getting stolen, due to the lowlifes being in contact with certain security members in the past.

Guys found out and caught one of the lowlifes one night and made sure they never came back again!

Removing an essential part of what makes the car start/run seems to be a better option. Of course its not as easy to remove the distributer arm on a skyline since it doesn't have one, but i'm sure there's something else that'd work.

      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.
