well, i went nuts with the cut-and-polish yesterday and it came up pretty good.. i can still see where it has been keyed but its much better

i think a respray might still be on the long-term list though..

You are lucky, mine is down to the metal, the paint caynon actually casts a shadow in the right light. Have just sealed mine with some white touch up paint to prevent rust while I wait for paint. It actually left a serrated edge where the paint was flaking off.....very uncool as it requires a lot of prepartaion now to repaint it, hence the high cost...... :(

These threads really get me worked up, I just can't believe someone would deliberatly do that to someones car. If you find them, give them two options - pay for the damage or put a shifter into their knee caps - I would.

My advice ask everyone in the street if they saw anything, if they have gone on a bit of a spree, chances are someone saw something.

Good luck, I feel for you.

I hope you find who it is & burn down their house... At least incinerate their car. Oww & slice their balls off while your at it. owww then douse them with the petrol your burning their house down with & burn them to... but then attempt to put them out by pissing on them... but then you realise that doesn’t work well enough so you just pore a little more petrol on them because you don’t wont to be rude & let them suffer a long miserable death, so you be polite & douse them with a little more petrol.

man that is fkd, im sorry to hear about all ur rides.. i hope to have the same grin as all of u skyline owners, but at the same time, if i dont i cant see why someone wants to f**k up something like that.. i remember being at auto salon BNE in 03.. and some cnt's poured paint thinner all over some fella's car in the parking underneath thats a new form of low in my books.. that and badging, i remember laughing as i saw some kids get smashed by like a 20yr old who caught them trying to get his calai.. i hope you all get that same satisfaction :P

Jealousy and lack of respect. Thats all it comes down to.

The new generation of kids and teenagers these days are brought up without much parental input. There is no discipline anymore, its grounded and no t.v. Shit, i remember when i was a kid/teen if i stuffed up, old man would beat me down with a leather belt, wooden stick, cord, spanner or whatever was available at the time, and i learnt quickly what i did wrong, there was no such thing as a grounding. Being raised to respect other peoples stuff, and general law abiding was apart of the discipline. Kids these days have completely missed out on that part of life.

My old mans a mech and he loves his cars, first thing he taught me was a mans cars his pride and joy...never F U C K with a mans car...period!

New fun for the kids is dropping rocks off overpasses onto cars doing 100kmph. The rock landed right above my head and took the paint back to metal. If the fool had dropped the rock a millisecond earlier it would have come through the windscreen and hit me! Little pricks should be taken for a walk through a jail and have some of the more unsavoury characters give them a good............. talking to.

When I was younger in a friends car coming back from the coast, I remember vividly some youths dropping a beer bottle off the overpasses on the M1 around Wet and Wild and it hitting just near the side mirror. It was pretty scarey!

I always look at overpasses now... and get all scared when I see someone standing o nit.

post-7531-1129892664.jpgyep this shit sucks,,, my car got keyed ileft it for 10 minuits while i went into the shops in sydney i was that pissed of when i saw it i drove back to the place and kinda hid up the road waiting for the f**kers who did it or anyone else near my car. didnt get anyone but if i eva caught someone doing it to not only my car but anyones grob them hold them down and run your car key down their back as hard as you can. but thats just me....

I reckon you should go back to where it was done and then wait for the f**kers to try it again.

Keep a nice plank of wood ready... (with a couple of nails hammered in :D)

Campbell: Dude your car looks MEAN... there is no way i'd ever try drag you in that beast!

I feel sorry for you Warren, too many threads I have read recently were either:

a) My car has just been keyed!!

B) My car has just been badged!!

Makes me as paranoid as f**k now when it's parked anywhere but my house. Where did it happen??? If someone is stupid enough to do it you would hope someone would see them & catch them/beat seven shades of shit out of them for you.

VIGILANTE IS THE ONLY WAY.

    • Dang. I love the little 'oil used' bingo card on the side.   🤣  Well, now they can use a box and an oil-filled goon.
    • Many many moons ago, I was chatting with Andy Wyatt, about his auto ignition tuning. One of the HUGE things he said to me, when tuning for power, right where you hit peak ignition timing for your max torque, dramatically increases NOx emissions. He was finding in testing, particularly on engines you could advance timing beyond peak torque, that backing the ignition timing off a couple of degrees only made for a small drop in torque (compared to if you keep backing it off further the same amount of degrees) but dramatically reduced NOx emissions. I'd say targetting for 14.7, and he's even mentioned in some scenarios going slightly leaner, and pulling a few degrees of IGN timing will help pass for emissions quite a lot. However, who tunes an RB for emissions
    • The main stuff from.Vibrant I see is more their intercooler piping, and everyone raving about their clamps, but when I looked it was about $150 per clamp... I was a bit   I also thought the public price SP had up was high. As Mark said, a normal exhaust shop can fab them. It was many years ago that I had a full exhaust built, but for a full turbo back exhaust, and 2 custom built mufflers, plus a high flow cat, was about $1,100, and that was fully installed, drive in, drive out. I believe SP was about $900 for 2 mufflers, just supplied   These days, I just buy the material and built it myself, because I need to stretch my $$$
    • I'm pretty sure if it's considered a gasoline powered vehicle you have to do certification against a fixed, very expensive certification fuel.  If you add two precats and then replace the main cat with two cats back to back you can get an RB26 to do 0.24 g/mi HC, 1.6 g/mi CO, and 0.3 g/mi NOx on the FTP-75 drive cycle. Found this out courtesy of California's laws at great expense. Divide by 1.61 to get g/km. So even with extra cats + precats you're blowing past the NOx limit by probably 2.3x. Probably the only way to get an RB25 or RB26 to meet euro 4 purely from an emissions per km standpoint and not durability/OBD2 requirements is retrofit at least intake side VVT, clearance the pistons to allow the full 50 degrees of advance so part throttle EGR can be maximized, and change the wastegate control from conventional 7 psi spring for example to one that is always fully open if the wastegate line is at 1 atm or higher and only close it in response to vacuum. See BMW's N54 engine as a reference for how this works. You would need to find space for a vacuum tank to function as an accumulator in this system. That way you can avoid any heat loss to the turbine as much as possible during cold start to heat the catalyst faster. Then find some way to eliminate as much as possible cold start enrichment to light off the catalyst rapidly. Maybe secondary air injection if there's no way to avoid cold start enrichment. Close coupled catalysts in the downpipe are probably necessary. I would also probably swap to EV14s, pick something with the correct spray targeting + dual cone pattern for the intake manifold you're using. EV1 style injectors to pass anything resembling modern emissions requires a very annoying air assisted injector system to break up the droplets at part throttle/idle which still doesn't work that great compared to just having smaller droplets from the injector to begin with. Realistically, you're probably going to be financially ahead if you just pay the fines instead. Or don't drive it into the city center. There's a reason why Nissan never bothered to even attempt certifying an RB for CA/US emissions. The VG30 needed external EGR on top of NVCS to pass in the 90s. Doing all of this work is also distinctly expensive and you're going to struggle to find anyone who is remotely interested in helping.
