Hi everyone,

I'm new to the forum..

long time reader but only just started posting..

i'm thinking about getting me an r34 GTT some time next year.. but i'd like to know what experiences you guys have had when leaving your car somewhere..

Coz i'd be shit scared to leave it anywhere..

How do you guys deal with something if it happens as well? and can you reccommend any good alarms or deterrent systems?

Thanks.

where bouts will u be parking the car?

Ive had my r33 for bout 6 months and no problems at all.

but then some people have just had their car stolen, i think there were 2 or 3 guys on the NSW forums had that happen.

if u can afford it get fast track. kinda a gps thing in ur car, but make sure u get insurance for theift. its well worth it.

i'm not sure..

it'll be my car so where-ever i go i'll have to drive...i.e. if i'm going somewhere dodgy i cant drive another car..

i'm located in Kings Langley... suburb outta blacktown.. its a good area round here so i'm not too afraid of that.

where are the problem spots than i should look out for?

Yeah i'd definately be getting insurance..

and an alarm before any other mods.. but i'm not too sure which alarms are good..

Hey Phil,

I live out west as well, Mount Druitt. I have had 2 lines & 2 VLT's with no problems of theft around blacktown, Druitt etc.

In my current line i have a Brant nemisis, very happy with it.

Main thing to remember is the little things, like hiding boost controllers & timers, parking with the front end in & front wheels turned (helps stop towing) & a steering wheel lock.

PS. A Snake on the front seat helps too..... :wassup:

heya

well i usually park my car in a number of different places throughout syd

just be smart at where you park, my common rule is dont park at westfields etc

im probably lucky as i havent had anything done to my car "yet"

i usually try to find parking on the street with alot of ppl or a secure carpark (not that it is actually secure but so far so good)

yeah, i have a brant nemesis as well but i'm more paranoid bout vandalism than the car being stolen

jesus christ CWest you poor bastard...

I feel sorry for you that must really suck..

how do u deal with things like that?

just grin and bear it or something?

I mean - unnecessary costs for repairs and stuff must be ridiculous..

Macquarie westfield - do u mean macquarie centre?

Problem is i tend to go to those places quite often..

is there anything appealing (aside from the fact its an r34) about the car?

also - do u know what theyre usually after if they try to break in? or are they jsut trying to steal the car?

I'd love an r34.. but i reckon i'd be far too conscious of the safety of it when i go anywhere to be able to enjoy myself..

Whats so good about the Brant alarm system?

If ur not getting a car cause ur worried bout the theives they have already won... U just have to be smart about where u park it. CWest geezz ur unlucky. how u beat the hell outa the guy who tryed to steal it.

Like if its a quite night in a dodgy neighbourhood dont park it there. during the day it should be right prettymuch anywhere... with exceptions.

Keypad start buddy!!! You got 3 main points on the remote key, then you have to put in a pin code before you can start the car, otherwise car wont start. Has turbo timer function, black wiring, internal and external siren with battery back up :cheers:

Its sall good, and can even stop you from driving your own car at times if you dont really know how to operate it, lol...

Other than that, if you park, just make it so your car stands out and its visible to alot of people passing by. Also if you got gadgets, try hide them, alternatively, get heavily dark tinted windows like me :rofl:

They were trying to steal the car but i guess couldnt see that i have immobolisers. And yes i meant Mac Centre. Its usually OK as long as you dont park in the cinema level there at night.

I really am not too bothered by all my experiences, I still love my car. I put up with it because I understand that its a risk you take when you drive a car worth stealing or vandalising.

Visually my car has a full cwest kit with no spoiler so its only a little bit more different than say ecls car.

Whoops ECL i forgot to measure my side skirts for you will do it tonight.

I ummmm didnt do anything to the person :wassup: . I merely pointed out that he should not mess with other peoples possesions.

i got mine for $900 installed

u ring brant and they organize an installer for you

however, the last guy left me his card and said if someone contacted him directly, it'll be cheaper

Alan Jong by anychance???

If so, he will give you a better price if you go to him directly :)

He fixed me up with my alarm system, top bloke, and knows his stuff

    • Had another look at the car and I noticed the fuel pump isn't priming on ignition. I'd taken out the pump from the boot to siphon out the old fuel, so maybe I've knocked something loose or broken a wire putting things back together. Will go back with a multimeter and try to work out what's stuffed. Kinda hoping it's the pump itself thats gone so I can upgrade it
    • Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)  
    • I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email.

    • So...to my (and my mechanics doing the swap) surprise...the oil pan from NEO engine does not fit 100% and needs to by modified like this: It is not a huge problem but in the future i want a "proper" oil pan. So question is...what different oil pan can i get to fit without any problems and modification? Thanks! 
    • Some more info I found.  These are the last entries Yoshikiyo Fujii made on his blog before he passed away in 2009: http://blog.livedoor.jp/fujii_dynamics/ And finally this is where the workshop was situated:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhTPtHzt3WVcBTiEA
