4 vehicles in Kambah last week. Definitely car theft is on the rise again locally.

Several in Canberra the week before from all over mainly North side and Woden area.

All types Makes/Models not just ours.

I know it happens all the time, but the increase just lately is a real worry.

Immobiliser and Club Lock... CHECK! always.

Still, even if the car is not stolen, the pain of fixing the damage is in the Arse.

Had this happen years ago in Lyneham, my old '85 Bluebird was never the same and all they got was a mini maglite. :/

Mine is in the garage and gets parked in. Also don't let very many people know where I live.

Overparanoid but I'd kill someone if something happened to my GTR.

For sure, garage and padlocks.

Problem is when its gone theres no one to kill. Its too late.

Like finding your car with the window smashed for stealing the stuff inside. The bastard has long gone and your left standing there feeling angry and powerless to do anything about it.

So never leave it for long if you take it out. Its only about 5-10 seconds for someone to smash the window and steal your phone.

Lock up people, and avoid the sadness.

Ps: what is a key safe? is it a place thieves know to look for important keys? Put your safe into thick concrete with reo.

When i was 12 in Melbourne our house got broken into, they used power tools to get into the garage and steal dads stuff. You gotta make it hard for the bastards, I lock up tools and cut power to the shed.

If they know what they're doing and if the car has a alarm they will pop the bonnet pull fuses to turn it off, Happend at my old car yard they took the whole interior from a calais was 8g or something stupid to replace the genuine seats.

We would aslo came in to find cars sitting on the ground with no wheels maybe if they were nice they may have put a millk crate under so they could get there jack out lol. but jacking cars up in random spots just to get it of the ground ruined other parts of the car skirts ETC

Anyway lets face the drugs today are bad and these kids will be wired as ten men at 2am while we're sleep or whatever ;) they want a fix and will do anything at the time to get some coin.

have a good day sau.

A key safe is a normal safe with key hooks. Stops the walk in steal the keys and drive away that occurred about a year ago in Sydney a few times. It stops 99% of thieves in their tracks, if they want keys.

The 1 ton safe that attracts them, but that just has the boring stuff in.

But hey who would bother trying to crack/burn/blow up a safe for a $20-30K car. There's plenty in carports or out in the open. And bypassing the alarm etc is probably easier if the keys are locked away.

Insure for a high agreed value. Lock in a garage. And don't worry about it. Going to all these extra lengths won't stop a pro. Get a house alarm installed throughout and in the garage. They won't make it in the front door without an alarm going off, let alone have the time to steal a car.

      RB20 in need of modest love injection

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.

      RB20 in need of modest love injection

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy

      R33 GTR lift points for hoist

      FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.

      Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
