I heard somethin today about RPM Performance Centre gettin most of its gear stolen from its premises within the past week???

Anyone hear anything about this?

A mate from the 31club mentioned it as we were having our Dyno Day there this saturday but has since been cancelled because of what has happened.

anyone wanna clear this up?

Tim

Well i spoke to the guys are RPM today and they got fuc ked over badly...

It happened after the DYno day. They reckon there wer at least 80 people in the workshop so they would of seen all the stuff they had.

Then afterwards they smashed thru the front door and took everythin.

I feel so sorry for them as they really do such a good job for the tuning scene in adelaide along with the other shops, and i really hate the low life theives that ****en try and ruin other peoples hard work!!!!

I spoke with Ivan yesterday & thankfully insurance will cover everything.

It's a sad fact of life that there are people out there low enough to do this kind of thing. But the really sad thing is there are people who support this kind of activity by buying the stolen gear no-questions-asked :D

I must say my heart skipped a beat for a sec when I first heard the news, seeing as how my car has been sitting in the workshop for months.

Matt which car was yours? I was there yesterday. What colour line?

My car is the red (well burgundy really) series 1 that's been sitting there since May! The plates read ***** 6, you'll know what I'm getting at if you saw it :D

I can't bloody wait to get it back on the road! And give it a lot of much needed TLC. It looks like a dirty ol' POS atm :(

I'm STILL waiting on my CP forgies to come from the US.

The big news (well it is for me) is I'm keeping the car & will be back on the drag strip as soon as it's run in & ready to go.

Great news whatsisname, I reckon it would have broken your heart to sell it, cos it was nearly breaking mine - too much time, money and love gone there to be giving it away. You never get the true value of a car back when you sell it.

On another note, I think it is a bit harsh to be pointing the finger at the RPM guys, as with any dyno day, it gets publicised and you invariably get all sorts of hangers on coming around. (unless its a boring old SVD one :(:D )

Thanks for the kind words guys :D

I'm REALLY looking forward to being back on the road cruising with you all again.

As for drag strip action...... I'd love to be able to make the 15th Nov AIR meet but the way things are going I don't like my chances :(

From the looks of things (Andrew into the 12's for starters) I've got a lot of catching up to do!!!

I am very happy you're keeping the beast Matt :( .... that is very good news for the summer cruising scene ;) .... who else is crazy enough to have me chasing them through roundabouts down south at 100km/h? :D I can't wait till its back on the road and we can have some runs at AIR!!!

    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything
