Has anyone noticed that these rats have been stealing only 32's and 33's???

When Brenton stupidly locked my keys in my car (dunno how you do that when it has centrel locking) the locksmith told me that 34's and 35's are the hardest to get into, not because of alarms or immobilisers but due to the internals of the lock; usually I'd think he was talking shit to get more money out of me however after spending ages trying to pick the lock, and getting several other people (some of which I know are quite good at picking locks) to try to pick the lock it still wouldn't budge.

Oh, did you ever get your Mrs car back?

32s are like as easy as a VN bogandore to get in to you dont even need to pick the lock. best thing to do is you no they can get in to it easy enough just make sure they cant start it ie kill switch but make it so it will turn over so it creates noise now if anyone hears a car keep turning over someones going to come looking at this car not starting to which it attracts unwanted attention to the would be thief but being bright orange i wouldnt expect to see this stolen it be like trying to hide an elephants cock in your pants no matter how hard you try its going to stick out a bit.

Hey Charles, i have also locked my keys in my 34 with the window down the smallest amount for the wind/rain guards to cover it. And it was extremely hard to get the car open once again. It took several hours with a lot of noise and effort to pull it off and even still i could not reach the actual internal release. I had to get the keys from the ignition (long story please dont ask how i got locked out) with a coat hanger and used my girlfriends necklace to weigh one side down for more accuracy and so the keys dont weigh to one side and slip off.

So yes i would agree 34's are extremely hard to get into. Have a nice sleep =p

      Would it not be cheaper to just spray nitrous?

      I've got cash, it's the NA LOLS I'm after now Plus, I've had a few boosted cars, and it is soooo easy to turn a reliable car into a unreliable drivetrain eating money pit monster by just paging up and chasing more My power goal for the NC is to try for a reliable naturally aspirated 150kw or 200hp atw (I'm old, and the old naturally aspirated cherry of 100hp per litre is a goal that I would like to hit), no more is really needed for what I use the car for,  so a additional 5kw is what I'm chasing now,  that 5kw is about $3k away, I think....

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      I dunno. I just go off what I know works. On RB20, the idle switch meant something to the ECU and the potentiometer was ignored. In Nistune, with the switch unplugged, you could bridge the terminals in the loom connector and see IDLE come on and off. Not so by moving the pot. The R32 RB20 ECU and the 26 ECU both look like this. Sure there is the "throttle sensor" (pot) on pin 38, and also sure, the idle switch is also directly wired to the TCU, whereas the pot is only directly conected to the ECU. But I am sure that the throttle position from the pot is passed to the TCU across the data bus on pins 21, 22 & 31. Maybe the ECU likes to know throttle position, but it sure as hell doesn't use it to determine the idle condition. Meanwhile, on the later engines, like the 33 25DET and my Neo, you remove the TPS and move the pot to-from the 0.45V position, and IDLE comes and goes in Nistune. No throttle switch on the ECU diagram. Just the pot.

      So, good news and bad news Bad news first: The intake plenum is lost in the mail apparently, I haven't paid for it yet, and MX5 Mania are still chasing it up, farking 'Merica postal service  Good news: Any retune will be free if and when it turns up,  I'm still keen for them to throw it on The car goes noticeably better, with only the typical initial take off thingie from a choppy cam and manual transmission, but giving it just a little more RPM than before gives it a smooth take off (and hour or so of peak hour traffic sorted that little skill out) Car made around 145kwatw & 225Nm (Intake may get me to 150kw, maybe....🤣) Weirdly, 145kwatw is the same max power that my standard 2015 WRX STI made a few years ago The cam really comes alive from around 3.5k and keeps making power and holds it flatish all the way to 7k, whereas before torque would drop hard around at 4.5k Drive home was sadly in peak hour, although I did get a little clean air here and there to wind out 1st and 2nd a little bit, and whilst the gains aren't anything for the "boosted boys" to be impressed at, the thing is a blast to drive The sound in the vid is poor, as it is in a undercover yard at work, but, outside, in the wild, it sounds awesomeballs to my ears with all the choppyness I consider it money very well spent for the outcome  Cam specs for reference (Basically the biggest you can fit with stock pistons) 20250417_171807.mp4   LOL, I don't think I will ever grow up

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      Swap the injectors around and see what happens. If the misfire follows the injectors then that's a signal, if it doesn't it's probably not the injectors.
