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?

Better?

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:

Inb4 Frankston jokes...

HAHAHAHAHA

Frankston people

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

Da da daaaaaaaa

Yet the police wouldn't do anything even tho there is prints

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

    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
