Hi guys

Just putting a word out there be careful of thieves who target imports/skylines. My car is a clean 1994 BNR32 was stolen and recovered on 26/07/2013 on Friday morning. The car was parked outside my house in Vermont south along burwood highway. I noticed my car was missing on early Friday morning. I found it later down the same street. However the car had a car cover put on it and it looked like the thieves had tried to hide their crime.

Once I took the car cover off I found the car had interior bits and pieces missing. These include floor mats, gear boot, shift knob etc. Also it looked like it had tried to be hot wired as the the wires under the ignition had been ripped out. The battery in the bonnet had also been disconnected. I have a mongoose m80 full alarm immobiliser system, I'm guessing that's what stopped the thieves from stealing and driving away with my car. Lastly the thieves had been under my car as they left the underbody trail just outside my house with the bolts on the ground.

I have already notified police and and my insurance company. If you have seen any suspicious activity along burwood highway on Thursday night/ Friday morning please let me know.

Pretty much to be expected, parking a GT-R on a busy highway where thousands of people drive, you're probably very lucky they just took some interior parts and didn't tow it like that MNP 32 that got stolen last week. I'd never street park my skyline anywhere that I couldn't see it.

Doesn't matter what the alarm type is, following ADRs there are not many to pick from and most installers are lazy which is the real issue

Poorly installed = car will get stolen.

Properly installed = car might not get stolen.

Alarms are just a time delay/deterrent.

I find it funny people pay $800 for an alarm system, but spend $200 on an installer. Spend $200 on an alarm and $800 on and install and you are MUCH better off.

I'm in Vermont South as well, luckily in a street which doesn't have any through traffic and I park off the street.

Last week I was living in Parkville, where that other GTR was pro-stolen on the tilt tray.

Paranoia is extreme right now

Seems as though people that want their cars stolen, still have them, and the ones that don't want their cars stolen, get stolen

my bloody r33 was insured for 6k more than I sold it for. Wish it had been stolen instead

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Duncan · Posted

      That is typical (for a rb at least) with a medium to large turbo, noting the format of the graph is probably misleading what you see a little (half portrait width but full height, in landscape it would look quite different) Basically until it hits target boost the torque curve is rising steeply, when that is 4000+ rpm it is not great to drive since almost all of your life is between 1,000 and 3,000 rpm. Once you hit target boost the wastegate opens and torque stops rising so quickly. From there the shape of the curve depends mostly on the cams and where they have a peak vs the rev limiter

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Last of the maintenance items for now....not sure why but the drivers side window switch had heaps of wear on the right front and right rear switches Unfortunately, unlike earlier Skylines the controls are bolted to the door trim from the inside. So....off the with door trim. There are bolts or screws: Behind the door handle cover, pop it off from the handle side Under the rubber trim at the bottom of the door pull (also just pops up) Behind the courtesy light at the bottom. Other than that, just window down then pop off the usual selection of push in clips around the perimeter and the trim lifts up Interesting that they have a bolt on cover instead of the old school plastic held on by goop....I guess they prioritised sound levels over price Then, 2 screws and 2 plugs to replace the switch (looks identical to the Fuga/Q70 one incidentally) and put it all back together. Also much better

      ok I understand, but the majority of turbo vehicles lose torque, or have a flat torque curve after the spool.  hence my initial misunderstanding. I didn't think this type of curve was possible

      It is completely normal. Your original understanding is what was wrong, not what you see in the charts.
