went to the city yesterday for dinner, parked the line near market city.

Had a great night only to to come back to my 34 with it all key:eek:

they keyed my carbon fibre bonnent in like 5 places, front gaurds, doors, roof, back panels and boot and all deep scratches that cant be buffed out. The thing that really annoys me is that i only had the bonnet for like a 2months :mad:

anyway does any1 know if those CF bonnets can be just sanded down and a new clear coat spryed as i really want to keep the cf look..

some ppl just dun seem to understand how much time and eefort is put into our cars.......oh well there goes my budget for the cooler

sorry to hear about that... personally, if the scratches do not bare metal, i won't bother with respraying... since urs are deep, maybe u've got no choice to prevent against rust... the chances of another incident are just too high to warrant such a budget... i bought mine with helluva lotta scratches on my left rear quarter and was planning to do a color change until i noticed a new mark along my passenger door... sure it may be an eyesore, and who doesn't like their cars looking pristine? but it'll be such a pain to fork out dollars to fix it only to worry bout it happening again and getting mad all over again if that really does happen... i'll rather keep those dollars for upgrades and maintenance...

THat really really sucks! Half my car is keyed too so i know the feeling......also my passenger side window got smashed outside market city in quay st when i was at uts. Alot of my frens have aslo got broken into near market city and uts areas.

Hard luck, and i don't think anyone should park outside market city and ultimo at night.

thanks guys

rac33er - i dun thin that would have been me if it was during the day hehehe should be chained to my table at work :O

r33 - yeah i was looking to buy onw from unique but they only had one for an gtr not gtt

i always sort of thought market city area was alright......i guess u alway have to learn the hard way :D

Now im tyring to decide to whether fix it or leave it.....as the car is white so not as visable as a dark car except for two of them where it bears metal and the cf bonnet :P

i could probaly live with it.....but the look on the bonnet sort of gets to me...*sigh* decisions decisions

Honestly in that situation, id go back and move my car.

Its no help now,

But no way could i walk away from my baby knowing that dickheads were sitting there waiting for me to go

Im the same. I don't trust anyone, if i see a group of people that look half suspicious i won't park near them. Call me paranoid, but i've had no problems to date. Too many dickheads out there to take a chance :(

It seems that Our Tax dollars we pay help support these scumbags who have nothing better to do than to steal and damage our cars

R34.......sorry to hear someone attacked Ur car.

Most of us here do a risk assessment everytime we leave our cars......because some sicko wants to take whats yours.

Just think of all the bad Karma going to these scumbags. Remember Bad things happen to Bad people:)

    • Thanks! Supercheap has a sale on this weekend so might be a good opportunity to get a new one. I do have a decent multimeter so I'll give it a try either way.   Hah, you got me! I do not. All I know is that the battery holds charge and sits at an okay level before I start the car. Doing the full charge and rejuvenation cycle on a trickle-charger seems to not really make a difference to the cold start behaviour. I'll try and measure it during cranking and see what it does. It's likely terrible; it certainly feels terrible.  I'll be happy if it is really just the battery and I don't have to dick around with the alternator or starter motor.
    • how do you know voltage is fine?  quick easy test is connect DMM up and put it on max/min mode, remove fuel pump fuse, crank car for 3-5s, go check min voltage You'd be surprised how many "healthy" batteries are showing under 10v during this test in cold weather. 
    • Not properly. You need to be able to dissipate 100 amps or so to doing it meaningfully. You can do it indirectly by watching to see how far the voltage falls during cranking. Unplug the coils or something else to prevent it from starting so you can get a good couple or three chugs. It also helps if you have the multimeter set up reading before you start, and that it has max/min functions. So you can catch the real minimum without having to watch the screen, which often doesn't update fast enough to show the real max/min in dynamic situations. Or use a digital oscilloscope, which can be obtained for <<$100 from Aliexpress (although I'd argue for paying up to ~$200 for a nicer one). A >4 yr old battery will very likely be well down the path to the knackery. Many only last 5-6 years these days. The cold weather lately will definitely make it worse.
    • Hmmm, what do you mean by getting weaker? And where did you get that test done? I've been wondering about my battery because the cold starts crank super slowly. The voltage is fine. Not sure if cranking amps can be checked at home. Battery is 4+ years old.
    • No. The simplest wastegate hookup, with no solenoid or other form of "boost control" (ie, control over your boost control, if you know what I mean) is a single hose, direct from the turbo outlet/hot pipe, straight and only to the wastegate actuator. It is that pressure signal that drives the wastegate to open, providing the boost control (and by "boost control" here, I mean, limiting how high it can go, which is essentially the spring pressure of the actuator). You only end up with tee pieces and alternate flow paths once you start adding things to the boost control system to allow you to determine how much of that boost signal makes it to the actuator. There are so many ways to do that that there is no single way to run the hoses and tees and the like. If you have a stock boost solenoid, then all it does is either allow all the boost signal to go to the actuator, or open up to allow some of it to bleed off. There needs to be a restriction in that bleeder to allow only a small amount to bleed off. And in a stock system, that would then be plumbed back to the turbo inlet (for "emissions control" reasons). That is actually what that nipple on your BOV return pipe could/would be for. If you have an aftermarket boost controller and solenoid, then the above is mostly true, but there is no need for a restrictor in the bleed, because the solenoid is pulse width modulated to create a variable bleed off. The air that escapes from the bleed can either be vented, or also returned to the turbo inlet. For emissions reasons it should be returned to inlet, but the amount of air being vented is so small that it really doesn't matter (either from an emissions perspective, or from an air-fuel ratio affecting perspective).
