Well yeah the price of a 2nd hand Evo 8 Exhaust, compared to a 2nd hand R33 exhaust... Price is about double for the skyline parts

I don't get it tho, like if the cars full of performance parts then yeah you could sell off the bits and make some decent cash, but my skylines stock apart from the turbo timer and exhaust?

Parts aren't worth much, I picked up a complete Body (r33 gtst) with full interior and was in good condition for $500

All that was missing was the engine and trans

Stolen cars like they'd hardly have bodies up online?

Almost, pics of the locking bar would be awesome... would be sweet if it could be bolted to the floor as well :D For those with longterm parked skylines or weekend / track gtrs

U sure they were after your skyline and not just random opportunistic crims going around seeing who's doors unlocked...we get em all the time here. One of them stole my space saver which was left in my carport....i found it a few weeks later on the neighbors hard rubbish stack..

Who the f**k steals a man's space saver. :blink:

Yeah I guess maybe so, but what made me think they'd tried to steal my car was the fact there is a back entrance to my garage, post-118413-13781622814944_thumb.jpg

This door was open

Next the roller door is covered in hand prints from being pried up. Dirty roller door.

This giving them obviously dirty hands

This next bit is why I'm scared

Please also note:

The skylines nice and shiny from being overly and obsessively waxed and polished, to the point you can't lean on it because you'll slide right off it.

OHHH I forgot this last bit

You know your boot key hole???

The one that has the lid thing that slides up??? The lids broken off and the insides of the barrel are all stuffed and so is the end of one of my flat head screwdrivers

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 馃槩

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      By Duncan 路 Posted

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
