shocking dude sounds like a real headf**k.... cant stand people that steal cars and then strip them..... we as the owners grow way to many gray hairs during these periods... i hope insurance sorts it out and they diddnt damage ur engine/driveline too much while giving it a boot full

good luck

yeah - hopefully not to much damage to the engine - they appear to have done 40 to 50km in it - up old belair road most likely - joy riding around the bends... either that or simply hunting for some place to park and strip the car.

Shannons advised me at the time of insuring that the car with central locking met their criteria and that I would not get any further discounts on the premiums for installing an alarm...

I had gathered all the required bits to install my own kill switch on the ignition anyway - but had not had the time to install them...

As to an alarm... yeah they would have got around that if I had bought a cheap one as the first thing after smashing my window that they did was remove the battery leads... - cheap ones do not tend to have battery back up.

Either way if I do not sell the car once fixed I will definitely be investing in a vew extra "devices"!

Corrected first post - stuffed up on wheel type due to J-spec originally listing them as the wrong type:

This is the right Rim:

18" Manaray Sport Vertec VR5 Gold + polished Chrome alloy wheels with Bridgestone Potenza GII tires.

As these are a Jap Rim - any idea how much these are worth?

Sorry to hear buddy, I always thought the same, If tis stolen i dont ever want to see it again!!

As for not having ANY insurance at all, Steve and Pete are spot on, If you dont have 3rd party AT ALL, dont bother coming on SAU cruises, If you cant pay for my damages that you caused, YOUR not gonna be happy with what i do to you!! Simple!!

having an alarm doesn't really make a diference may car had an $1500 alarm system and it still got stolen, the problem is most alarm systems are fitted with a service switch in the pillar or the lining in the roof, so all they have to do is find it an turn it off...

Untrue - yes, almost all alarms have the valet switch, but you must have the ignition turned turned to 'on' before they work. Meantime the alarm has already gone off from the breach, and you are on your way to the car, baseball bat in hand. I have a pager alarm, so if they are good enough to disable the alarm, get past my club lock, deactivate 2 kill switches and steal the car within the 10 seconds, then they get away with it. If they were still in the car when I got to it, I would be going to jail for breaking some knees and faces.

The whole point of an alarm is deterrence - hopefully they see the flashing light and decide it is not worth their trouble. I am very willing to bet that 99 times out of 100 if a car has an alarm the would-be thief won't even try.

Where was your car, and where you were you when they stole it?

maybe everyone attending should at least show a copy of a current insurance policy. I'm not being sarcastic but you have legitimate reasons! :)

      R34 GTT front hood lip

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Another thought on this OLD topic: When you paint your bonnet lip, leave a small unpainted back lip/line along the back of the lip, where it rests on the bumper. That way, the line in the back is much more prominent than the gaps in the front/under the lip - and it breaks the hood-to-bumper connection at the "correct" place, when comparing to a GTR. I'm gonna do this with mine this week, so stay tuned for pics!

      Potential MAP Reference Point

      By Radical_Goodspeed · Posted

      So I'm in the final stages of assembling my single turbo RB30/26 and had a question regarding MAP reference points.  I've seen several recommendations such as tapping the cylinder 2/3 ITB, tapping the intake manifold at cylinder 2/3, or using a point on IAC. First two are doable but require permanently modify part and the third is "out" as I plan to delete the IAC.  All that to say my question is can I used the "bleeder" in the center of the ballance tube as a MAP Reference? I'm running a catch can so I don't need it for the PCV system. My thought process is it "pulls" from all 6 cylinder, and it's between the ITB and the cylinders making it ideal for MAP reference according to what I can find. Thoughts?

      Some sense has prevailed! What kind of idiot spends money on intake, heads, and cams for a N/A motor in 2025? Lol. What maroons. Source:I am King Maroon.

      So, cams are not getting installed......yet  Had a good chat with MX5 Mania about intakes, they recommend not to get ITB's, they recommend a plenum style for the NC So, one of these puppies is being ordered, with a larger TB to suit, when it arrives from the US the car will go in for the cams and intake I'm also getting a fancy rear box bit for the air filter box which will suit the new TB size

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Clamp meter is pointless. Unless you're trying to keep average current under a set value for some weird reason (maybe you undersized your wiring?), then you'll get no useful info. What you're really trying to target is the flow of fuel coming back to the tank. You want some, but not a lot. You also want to make sure fuel pressure remains stable.   So, fuel pressure gauge, and fuel flow gauge. Set it up from that.
