Thursday the 15th of August was a bad night for me, this is just some advice for all of you car owners out there.

Watch out for people that you dont know that come up to you and ask you for a cigarette, cause they might just turn around and start bashing you for your car keys....

Well thats what happened to me on that un-fortunate night, the guy looked as calm as can be and then he just turned on me.

I ended up in hospital, with 8 stitches between my eyes, black eye, tooth knocked out (boots are hard when they are kicking you in the face) and a totally cut up face, and to top it off the car was in a high speed chase, the guy ran 23 red lights, and the cops couldn't keep up, and it ended up a bit wrecked in the South Perth area (Minus my front suspension and front rim and front bumper), the panel beater says over $10,000 damage.

Sorry for the long message, but just a word of warning for all u guys (and gal's) to just watch yourselves and try not to become another victim......

Until next time

Get well soon R33_Cam!

I saw an article in the West Aussie today about a Skyline chased and crashed in Beldon. Except that this article said that the car is a GTR not a GTST and the chase was up to 170km/hr. I'm assuming that the article got the car wrong.

Get well soon! Hope Perth's not getting as F&*%ed up as Sydney....:D

Best wishes

hey guys thanks for all the msg's

in reply to some, it happened in the northern suburbs in the craigie/beldon area, near the macca's and the BP on ocean reef road, i wasnt in the car at the time, i was standing next to it on the pasenger side talking to my mate (who also got a broken nose) and thats when it happened, all very quickly!!!!

It was the article in the saturdays west australian " 170KM/h Car Chase" but yeah they got the car wrong, they said it was a GTR, hehehe, ohh well theres one good thing, everyone thinks i own a GTR.

Oh no I live around there aswell, actually in Iluka about 5 minutes up Marmion Ave but i know exactly where you are talking about! I have seen many cars congregate around there skylines holdens at the maccas some nights.... can you remember what the guys look like? Did crimestoppers manage to get any photos of them in the paper? If so i will keep a look out for ya and call ya if i see em!

I am sure i speak on behalf of everyone hear when i say that is bad news dude and we all hope you make a quick recovery in time to run over them or a drive by! :headshot:

Also did you get your stitches done at joondalup hospital? the wait there is appaling! i had my head cracked open a while ago and i was sitting in waiting with blood spurting from my head for AGES!!! i ended up swearing at the nurse i don't normally loose my temper but in that situation it couldn't be helped!

lots of people carry big sticks in the car next to them, i do, and know a few people who do too. I do martial arts, so i went to where i get my supplies from, and the advice given was sticks are too big, slow and illegal.

The best thing i was told was pepper spray (not capsicum spray), the proper stuff that shoots out like a jet, and burns, and takes the guys breath away, accurate to 3 or 4 metres, and able to hit multiple attackers. It is completely legal, fits on a key ring, cheap, and you can even shoot from inside your car. Im waiting for the next shipment.

Yeh might be a good idea.

I reckon i can swing my big iron bar with ruthless efficency. It only weighs like 10 kilos so u have to get em once:D

Still i wouldnt be too paranoid about this kinda stuff chances are it wont happen to you and if it does u wont be fast enough to see it coming:eek:

    • Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.
    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.
