That sux max, i remember u telling me about some **** denting it when i met you on friday at ice!

Uni carparks are farked, coz they always hire some fat lazy **** that cant speak english properly half the time and then they pay them peanuts to be there all day so they dont give a shit even if they hear an alarm go off!!

I had 2 of my farking expensive V12 alpine amps stolen from the boot of my cortina in the Swin Hawthorn carpark, and it was parked on the ground floor about 20 metres from the ***ing pay booth.

max, thats some bad shit, sorry to hear.

i didn't know u goto monash clayton, i go as well... never seen you around...

i see waz32gts-t all the time, maybe coz we do the same course... but yeh, always parking in eng...

and a week before, my friends little 323 got broken into through the boot, they climbed into the cabin and stole heaps of stuff... this was near the gym parking. eariler this year, my friends pulsar was completely stolen and taken for a joy ride, his car was parked at the physiology carpark near the gravel pit. kinda scary...

hope everything goes alright for ya...

Dude I feel for you man. Not only did they steal your sh$7 they had to damage your vehicle!! Crap like this makes my blood boil, as something similar happened to me once.

Fu$%ers had nothing to steal in my car so they took my car's user manual!!!

That was fine but the damage was what pissed me up the wall.

Can't be sure parking anywhere these day. I'm so paranoid now as to where I park. Even in the city where there is heaps of people my car even got spat at!! WHERE IS THE RESPECT?!!! MAX if there is a stake out, I'm IN!!

will have to add to Events section...

"SAU Vic Theif Stake Out and Gang Bashing"

Go out to some dark street in city, off chaps, uni etc, park car, hide in building, wait for theif and BANG bring out the wrath of the baseball bats. I will call my cop mates for their approval...

Wouldn't THAT be nice!

i reckon the best way to lure the prick is to get a really hot car ... eg another skyline ... get the doof doof going around for a couple of weeks .. but dont' park in the uni ... then one day park there and get another car with dark tint u can't see through park near that car and watch ... after a couple of days that'll get them ...

Sorry your car was damaged Max, when your car door is repaired remove the door locks. You can wire a back-up system to allow the doors to be opened even if the battery goes flat and I can fit a viper paging system if you are interested. Mabe you should investegate fitting a capsicum spray system, that way when your key ring goes off and you just have to look for the guys near your car writhing on the ground in agony, too blind to see you kicking the poo out of them!........................... Just thinking out loud. Good luck with your repairs.

hey, if you guys are really gonna have a stakeout, and kick the bajesus outta them, lets actually make it happen this time, coz last time this sh1t happened to James, we were all like "Yeah lets kick the shit outta them" BUT IT NEVER HAPPENED!!! I had the dudes phone numbers, or was in contact wit the dude who could supply them. So yeah, lets make this thing happen. PAAAAALEASEEEEEE!

    • Jap premium will be 100 RON. You should use 98.
    • The exhaust gases are at their highest temperature as they leave the exhaust port and enter the manifold. They cool as they flow through the manifold because they transfer heat to the manifold and the manifold loses heat to the surrounding environment. Thus, inevitably, the exhaust gases are cooler as they enter the turbo compared to when they entered the exhaust manifold. So, yes, the exhaust manifold can easily get as hot as the turbine housing. Having said that, you will generally see the highest temperatures where the exhaust gases have to slow down or they are concentrated into one area - which is usually the collector on the manifold and in the turbine housing, because the gases slam into the metal at those places, increasing the convective heat transfer coefficient and transferring even more heat to the metal than they might just flowing past elsewhere. Exhaust manifold heat shields are a good idea - certainly for the stock manifold they are there from the factory. People seldom have anything like that on a tubular manifold because they are hard to achieve. Some might wrap a tube manifold with fibreglass tape - but this has a reputation of leading to cracked welds. The best case is generally to put ceramic coating onto the manifold to prevent it getting as hot (internal coating) and radiating/convecting heat into the bay (external coating). All the real heat from a turbo comes from the exhaust side. The gases entering are at ~800-900°C and the steel/iron gets nearly that hot. The compressor side is only going to heat the charge air up to <<200°C (typically not much more than 100°C). So that's nothing, by comparison. The compressor is not a significant source of engine bay heat.
    • Late to the party, specifically joined this forum as I just bought one of these and this thread has been a gold mine of info. If the OP is still around, mind if I ask what gas you been putting in yours? Mine has a Japanese sticker in the cap saying premium but it seems to get way worse mileage on premium (95) than 91. I always thought it was meant to be the other way round🤷 I do think Nissans claimed "6l/100km" is a bit fantastical 😂
    • Does exhaust manifold get hot as turno exhuast side? I have a turbo cover to managr heat in the engine bay but  nothing is covering the exhaust manifold before turbo   i know as turbo does compress air, the temp does go up however does that mean exhaust manifold would be as hot?
    • It's excellent but I'm still breaking it in so I'm not 100% sure where it'll end up. I would say it's about 15% heavier than stock and the smoothness of the slip zone is quite progressive but you need to be a little patient compared to stock or it'll bite hard and stall. Stock I got away with absolutely horrid clutch control. Like I said before I couldn't even tell where the clutch would grab when it was stock so releasing way too quickly without enough revs it would just slip and the revs would drop lower than ideal but that would be the end of it. Currently there's a bit of a nasty clutch judder if I don't apply enough revs + find the exact wrong point of the slip point in the clutch pedal but it feels like it's slowly resolving as I drive it more. I would not recommend the competition clutch unless you really need the extra clamp force. I think this clutch combined with the Nismo operating cylinder is going to be exactly what I want. Enough bite that you need to remember the release point to avoid stalling or rough shifts, but progressive enough that it's not hard to drive by any means and not heavy at all. I tried a "super single" clutch on my friend's 997.2 Turbo 6MT and that was absolutely horrid. It runs an electrohydraulic power steering pump for the clutch power boost so there's zero feedback in the clutch pedal and there was a horrific clutch shudder well after break-in due to the lack of marcel springs or hub springs in the friction disk. It felt like the slip zone was the thickness of a single toe twitch as well so it was almost impossible to avoid stalling it unless you gave it a ton of revs and just dumped the clutch instead of trying to be smooth with it. I was terrified of pulling out in front of traffic. I have also tried some kind of "super single" on an EK9 and that makes this twin plate Coppermix look like a stock clutch. Releasing the clutch pedal even slightly too quickly feels like you're getting rear-ended. The pedal is extremely heavy as well and there's no vacuum assist like the GTR.
