I hate this stuff.. In the year i've had my car i have seen someone hit it while it was parked in a car park, luckily i got the details. Had dents put in the roof by god knows what. The other week walked back to my car to find someone had reversed into it denting the number plate and cracking the paint. Did some door knocking but no one saw anything. I have hence dubbed it the shit magnet.

saw a couple of 15 yearolds once key someones car cus they couldn't joyride it because it had an alarm/imobiliser in it so it was to hard to brake in, held them there till the cops showed up, and the cops were like is the parents that are going to have to pay for the damage, i would have loved to kick their asses before the cops got there if i knew they would get off that easy.

there's no respect for peoples property these days

My car was keyed twice, on friday and last night saturday in an underground residential parking lot.

If this sh!t happens again, it's looking very much like one of the residents.

You haven't bumped into anyone in the corridor?

Have a suspect, wat do?

Do you have an alternative "safer" car parking spot avail.?

Does he (assuming a he) have a nice car?

If he has a nice car and yours is parked elsewhere, you can lean on it, have lunch on it and he'll feel the persecution! > get insomnia > blood pressure rises > cardiac arrest > red carnation on his coffin compliments of MRSAMO.

move your car somewhere else, and whoever parks there after you is probably the person who keyed your car- if your absolutely sure that it was the parking that was the issue. then slash tyres.

i agree, move the car in a clearly visible location but i disagree with the slash tires comment as the ass that did this to your car may be away and someone else uses the spot, you would make things worse with the locals or worse get caught, try talk to the tenants there, see if they had similar issues and see if anyone suspects someone, most times u will find an old lady that has nothing better to do than spy on her neighbor, with a bit of luck you might be able to park near her view so you can get free surveillance ..lol

      Warning this hidden hose almost destroyed my RB25DET

      Yep, replacing all those hoses is kind of just bog standard if you're ever back there. Only hose on the back of the engine I have yet to replace is a vacuum hose for the wastegate. I'll probably do it eventually but it's in such an annoying spot.

      4th gear sychro worn

      By Sleepergm · Posted

      I was actually just planning on replacing the fourth gear parts in the gear box that I broke … like the synchro hub or cone. And any other parts I need once I open up the transmission. That a bad idea? The rest of the gears feel tight. these parts shouldn’t be too much … just the labour here won’t be cheap. Just replacing these in HK would be around 2k aud including labour.    how much is a new r33 or r32 transmission?    thanks for the good info as usual

      New to R32 ownership

      I chose a bad time to buy, at the time there was no gtst's for sale in NSW and my options were qld, vic, or sa and not the greatest examples or too far out of my budget. Ended up picking this one from adelaide sight unseen and got a bit stitched up as you could expect but i dont fully regret it, its just a shame people cant be more transparent in this day and age.

      IMO just buy a whole R33 transmission and swap the whole thing. Use a palm nailer/air hammer with a roll pin punch to drive the shifter rod end roll pins out. The rod end is discontinued so don't break it. Use gasket dressing on the OEM paper gasket instead of RTV. I personally would not pry on the shifter cover tabs, I broke one trying that instead of just smacking the side with a dead blow rubber mallet to shock it loose from the RTV the last mechanic applied. If you can't get the flanges totally clean and free of any residual RTV and/or you might have a gap that is bigger than it should due to flange damage use RTV on that surface instead of the OEM specced anaerobic sealer. Anaerobic sealer is most likely the right sealant for the job, it's just too easy to mess it up with too large a gap or bad surface prep/roughness seemingly. If you do rebuild what you have it's for a whole gearset that can take high torque. Don't bother with OEM at that point.

      Little hose. Big hose. They're all waiting to kill the engine.
