So I had just finished work and I was sitting in my car when I was approached by a guy who let's just say looked like he just got his centre link payment lol

He was asked me "buddy do r33s come out standard with a alarm? I just replied yes, he then went onto asking about the sensitivity of it to the point where he asked me if my alarm would go off if the car got jacked up

And towed away with the handbrake on. I looked at him laughed rolled up my window and drove off

I'm thinking to myself what kind of f**kin idiot asks someone about how to steal their own car. So people in the livo area be careful rebirths and stealing cars have come back into fashion

So security upgrades for me and only bringin her out

On weekends lol

Cheers

The guy was probably just trying to sh*t-stir you? I know guys that would do something like that to a stranger (with a straight face) just for kicks.

Still pretty dodgy. When driving through certain areas in South-west Sydney you tend to notice the shiftys eyeing you and your car.

Had a guy in Cabramatta ask me the same thing. I was parked at the 45 degree parking and was about to leave then he pulls up directly behind me in a garbage truck, blocks me off then starts asking me questions about my cars security etc. Some people lol

"it's a home-made design, basically an outwards firing shrapnel bomb"

      2025 Osaka Auto Messe

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Silly question, as I bet you've checked already, but the motor turns over by hand yes? I suspect Neil has a spare starter, though if not, I believe I have a spare R33 (or two) starter.
