Last night someone broke into my car at work (east gardens/marubra). They smashed the ignition barrel and tried to start the car, the immobiliser stopped them so they took my 12 inch sub out of the boot. They didnt even try to take my gauges, turbo timer or headdeck. I could start the car with a screw driver but the steering wheel lock was on and i couldnt steer the car, got some mates to try and help me break it, no sucess. So i got it towed home. If anyone hears of a 12 Inch MTX sub going around cheap in abox let me know.

Also now that my ingition barrelf has been smashed and the steering colum is mangeled, will i have to buy a new colum and all that stuff?

Thanks for your help!

If i ever find the (unt ill kill them........

It was next to east gardens at British American Tobbacco in between 12:30pm - 8:30pm. The car didnt start because of the immobiliser, i got the car started when i finished work, but noticed the steering wheel was locked so i couldnt go anywhere.

Im stoked i still have the car, if it wasnt for the immobiliser i wouldnt have it.

That's bad news mate...

People always say that most immobilsers aren't worth anything as a *real* theif will get it if they really want it.

At least this goes to show that one will stop little punks that want to go for a joyride...

Sorry to hear about it but be happy you've still got your beast...

Also, I have a 12in mtx in a box sitting at home as we're selling my girlfriends Festiva. In new condition, hardly used and no marks or anything. Dunno what specs it is but seemed to pump alright in her car.

PM me if your interested.

Thanks

Just off the fone to SSS and JustJap both quoted me 200 -250 bucks for another steering colum and about 2 hours labour or so.

Does this sound right toy ou guys?

Cheers

You could just take the pin out and drive it home .

You will need the whole lock housing ( alloy ) a new barrell or reinstall the old barrell in the new ( used) Housing , (not an easy job ) and a new key . If they broke the steering shroud you need that as well .

I bought a new shroud ( r34 gtr ) from Nissan for $105 , a new immobiliser ring $220 , ( you dont have it in the 33 ) and a used ignition housing $75 but without a key , i used my old barrell .

They took my floor mats and damaged the A-pillar mould , new floor matts from Japan $500 and i still havent replaced the A-pillar mould .

It was pretty hard to see what i was doing in a dark carpark, couldnt see shit so instead of mucking around and trying to find the pin i called a towie. I dont have a 33 i have a 32. My barrel is catctus, the locking mechanism is gone, there is no sign of it just the barrel.

Saturday is repair day, then cruising time, i miss my car!

I had a similar sort of experience a coupla months back at Parramatta Westfield, I was only gone for 10 minutes max and they got to the barrel, almost all the way home with my car! when I got back, the bastards were sitting in their car looking at me. Only if it wasnt 4 of them and one of me at the time. I didnt even have an alarm cause I'd only owned it for a coupla weeks at the time. Yeah, so consider yourself lucky that u still have the beast.

      Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell

      Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups.

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.

      Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet

      gauge needle removal

      By JC71 · Posted

      okay, so I figured this out, removed needles and reinstalled after swapping the gauge face on my triple gauge for my ER34, all work and look good. I tried to do the same for the main cluster, but the main cluster gauge faces are dished, the replacement gauge face are flat, so due to the dish in the org face ,mounting backing plate (clear) and depth of the needle, the flat gauge face will not work. I notice that R34 gtr gauges are flat, appears to be different clear backing plate that aren't dished. are these available, or what have others done to install flat gauge faces?
