Hey guys,

I've recently moved across to Melbourne from Perth and I was wondering if there is a R34 GTR club in Melbourne on facebook or on here that I could contact other members on.

I've noticed quite a few more imports over this way and I've also been made aware of how strict this place is so I've got a few questions to ask if anyone has the time to help out.

I know Racepace is meant to be one of the best skyline specialists for mods / repairs ect unless there's someone better out there that I am not aware of....

Also I've noticed car theft is HUGE here so aside from a car alarm, does anyone else have a GPS tracker in their cars?

Any info would be great!

Cheers all,

Ben

There is a Skylines scene, not sure where you could possibly go to get details however.....

As for theft, where do you live? Some areas are bad for it, some areas it's non-existent.

The best protection against car theft is a good insurance policy. If a tea leaf wants your car bad enough, ain't nothing you are going to be able to do to stop him from taking it.

Oh, and welcome to Melbourne. Be sure to leave your west side shoulder chip at the door ;)

Hi Ben,

My partner just made that move with her Skyline and knows how you feel :)

I have a GPS tracker in my car but I concur with the above, if some flog wants your stuff you can't do shit about it...get a good insurance policy and the rest is auxillary protection. Cars are getting stolen from locked up basement carparks these days and towed away with flat beds. It's sad but that's the world we live in. Some 34 owners even enlist the help of security guards ;)

Keep an eye on events section and check out SAU Vic, the paid membership club, as they do some motorsport and social events you might like.

Not sure about 34R specific clubs but could be one around, heavily guarded of course.

Cheers for the info guys. I don't carry the WA chip your referring to so that's fine. There are a few pros and cons in both states so I'm taking the good with the bad.

My car has a car alarm and gps tracker and insured through just car with an agreed value so if someone takes it then so be it. It's shit that there are people here that want to steal peoples pride and joy however it's like that anywhere you go.

As far as the club thing goes I am still apart of an R34 gtr club and the people there were great. Most are in the SAU community which was why i asked the question about a similar group in Vic.

    • I'm not sure the diode only will give the desired result. I'd probably approach it with a couple of relays (And you still might need a diode too!). You need to be able to break the constant feed from the headlight to the orange corner globe when the indicator is flashing. Not knowing which Skyline we're talking about specifically here too (And it may not matter, but I don't know the R34 column switches) you'd likely need to rewire the stalk, so that the indicator power itself no longer runs through the stalk too, as now you need it able to trigger a relay that will break the constant supply from the headlights to the indicator, then you'll need a separate relay to trigger the indicators to come on (Replacing the internal action of the indicator stalk).
    • Weird story from me My Toyota 86 was with Commbank comprehensive but for market value (who they use to underwrite is unknown) When I munted it beyond financially viable repair in 2020, rear end smashed in to the point it bent the rear quarter and roof, they knew I paid $31k cash for it because I told them, they still paid me out $38k, as all the 2017 limited edition variants with typical Km and condition were going for between $36-41k, so they did weird math and came up with $38k I never officially mentioned any of the mods that I had done, but as they were not the cause of the crash they were not fussed at all, the insurance inspector actually asked if I wanted to replace all the mods with the OEM stuff if I still had it laying around before they took the car I still came out of it behind though, because I had probably dropped $20k in it with the suspension (bent after the prang), wheels (bent as well) and "other" mods, that the inspector asked about But still, as the market value was higher than what I initially paid, and they paid out market value To say I was surprised with the outcome would be an understatement  Weird, but true, but probably just lucky with the inspector on the day I guess  Sadly, I don't think if I munted the old NC1 MX5 I would get the same result Meh, pay to play
    • Well, the car is back, all straight and shiny, for how long for is anyone's guess  After picking it up we went for a bit of a drive, Jebus I really enjoy driving this little thing, hopefully the weather let's us go for a nice long cruise this weekend as it will be out of my hands for at least a few days next week when it heads back into Mania on Monday It's weird, whilst I do always enjoy going for a drive, the NC makes me feel like a kid who has just got his first car, and they just want to drive wherever and whenever they can I really need to look into the MX5 Club of NSW
