Really another one? FFS seriously what is the world coming too. With the amount of imports getting stolen/burnt i think multiple kill switches is in order!

Sorry for you misfortune champ. Hope you get it back in one piece for your sake!

Well one positive is the uncommon factor of the paint. I live in flinders park but I have not seen this car around; I will now be looking for it.

The theft of these cars seems to be predominant in the western suburbs but the increasing amount of cars stolen highlights the need to do everything we can to stop it from happening to us. Thats why I have alarm, imobilliser, club-lock, full comprehensive insurance, car behind roller gate and roller door, rev limit set to 1500rpm, keys and documentation in well hidden area, automatic light, recording camera linked to television, car in view from bedroom window and two dogs. If theives can get past all of these, I will shoot them with my crossbow, then ring 000.

I recommend all people who love their rides to follow all these precautions, except for the crossbow! That is just something I am prepared/trained to do if someone comes into my yard and wants my car more than I do..

Hope you get your 33 back the way you left it mate

Those wheel clamp type locks the police use for impounding your car should be made available to the public--I'm sure one of them would really slow a thief down and be a deterrent and be easy to carry on your boot etc and fit to your car overnight?I haven't looked closely at one but from what iv seen they'd be a deterrent--but that said if someone wants something bad enough they usually find a way of getting it..alternatively matty with his crossbow on speed dial :P

there called a DENVER Boot, I know I grew up where they invented them, along with Lidar, the laser the police use.

you can't over ride the boots without a torch and most likely burn the car as well. but its the last thing you want to drag around in your car !!!!

common sense !!! , would you leave your most valuable item(your baby) out for everyone to see and fondle ? that stops most stolen cars alone if you think a second first ?

a multi layered security used 100% of the time even if your 10 steps from the car. set the alarm. ADR approved of course

full comprehesive insurance BEFORE you take the car home on the first day. if you can't afford to insure it.... you can't afford the car !!! now it drives up the rates everytime a skyline is stolen insured or not !!!

then you can go with Biometric scanners(eyes or fingers, facial), RFID(the tags like stores use to make sure your not stealing crap and also used in new keyless cars ) , GPS/3G trackers, etc. not many people know how to install that stuff here but I can point you in the right direction, if your interested ?

really it comes down to another problem, laws dont punish car theft harsh enough ?????

oh man, not another one, and they're getting closer to my area too :( I hope you get it back in good condition Ben, hopefully the rather unique colour will help.

I hate parking mine out in the driveway overnight, but sometimes there's just too many bike parts covering the garage floor to get it back in...

      Potential MAP Reference Point

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Getting a decent signal from all 6 throats is a challenge. I don't know for sure, but I suspect that the stock balance tube is not ideal for it. I have done it on an ALFA 4 cylinder (about 35 years ago, so don't ask for too many details). We drilled 4x holes in the manifold runners, put in some fittings and ran hoses to a decent sized (I think it was about 20mm diameter) pipe that ran the length of the inlet manifold. So, it was quite a decent volume. There is a "tuning" balance to be found between the volume of the common plenum on such a thing and the diameter of the pipes running from it to the runners. You need the volume to be large enough to damp out the sharp spikes in pressure signal you get as each runner gets sucked on by its cylinder, but not so large that it becomes too slow to respond to actual changes in MAP. And you need the hoses to be small enough to transmit the signal quickly, but not so small that they delay the signal. You might have to have more than one go at it, if there isn't any actual success based wisdom to be had here. Hopefully there is. Anyway, I would not do it on only a couple of cylinders. I would also not care about "permanently modifying a part". Just bloody drill holes and make stuff better. There is nothing sacred about any GTR unless it is a genuine museum piece that you shouldn't be modifying at all anyway.

      R34 GTT front hood lip

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The strange thing is this is a URAS front bumper (or clone of it). The bumper actually does not sit flush with the GTT hood - You need the addon to make the hood 'long' enough to reach the bumper. I have no idea why they didn't incorporate this piece into the bumper itself.. instead of sticking it to the hood instead.

      R34 GTT front hood lip

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Another thought on this OLD topic: When you paint your bonnet lip, leave a small unpainted back lip/line along the back of the lip, where it rests on the bumper. That way, the line in the back is much more prominent than the gaps in the front/under the lip - and it breaks the hood-to-bumper connection at the "correct" place, when comparing to a GTR. I'm gonna do this with mine this week, so stay tuned for pics!

      Potential MAP Reference Point

      By Radical_Goodspeed · Posted

      So I'm in the final stages of assembling my single turbo RB30/26 and had a question regarding MAP reference points.  I've seen several recommendations such as tapping the cylinder 2/3 ITB, tapping the intake manifold at cylinder 2/3, or using a point on IAC. First two are doable but require permanently modify part and the third is "out" as I plan to delete the IAC.  All that to say my question is can I used the "bleeder" in the center of the ballance tube as a MAP Reference? I'm running a catch can so I don't need it for the PCV system. My thought process is it "pulls" from all 6 cylinder, and it's between the ITB and the cylinders making it ideal for MAP reference according to what I can find. Thoughts?
