Just a heads up, and a reminder to be careful I suppose

Left my 33 GTR parked out of the garage for the first time in months, for not even more than two days, and someone has broken in and messed the ignition barrel up. They couldn't get it going before they got scared off, possibly due to some tricky electrical rearranging I've done, and there's no other damage, so I got pretty lucky. New set of locks will fix it, and it's good incentive to stop being lazy and finish installing the alarm properly.

It's pretty sad that you can't trust leaving your car anywhere, but I guess that's partially my fault for this car in that suburb. Bit of a shock having previously lived in a country town where there were many nights I forgot to even put the windows up :rolleyes:

Yep

My Skyline got broken into in what I thought was a safe suburb full of oldies...except I had parked it on the street for years.

Motorbike got stolen recently, locks alarms and everything. Thieves everywhere. Trust no one.

      The Neat gears use an alternative profile, no? Something different to what normal OEM stuff is. Is the noise at all traceable to that? Reason I ask is that my CW&P are effectively past their use by bate and Neat is the obvious option.

      R34 4 door indicator and horn issue

      By Randhj · Posted

      Just picked up my first skyline. R34 4 door with an rb25det and manual swap. I’m in the US. It has a bunch of issues but the problem I’m chasing now is the indicator, hazards, and horn do not work. I took out the indicator relay and fuses and tested separately and they seem to be working fine. When I activate the turn signal stalk or the hazard button nothing happens, no clicking, and no dash lights. Same with the horn. What should I test next? The headlights, taillights, and brake lights work fine so I think the stalk is good.

      So mines not in yet ... which should tell you something ...   I got a set of neat gears as well, took a year to get those. Then the setup was a real tricky one, with all the changes. It seems the shims for the front diffs are in short supply and had to wait two round of custom ones. This was all done by a professional diff builder , not me/diy.   So here we are about to go into 2025 and I do finally have a built front sump / diff / gears.  Just need the mojo to pull out the engine ...   Oh as an aside on the neat gears, they have some whine, mostly on decel. Taken a bit of setup again to get that down to a street car level.
