Was just on the news a few minutes ago:

Around Adelaide and North Adelaide 2 guys have been on a rampage, vandalising late model Hyundai Excels. Juming on roofs and bonnets, slashing tyres, keying the paintwork, etc. They have done around 15 cars over the past couple of nights. Police recommended Excel owners dont leave their cars out on the street at night, and if possible to park them in garages.

I know this is a Skyline forum, but some of us may have second cars, or girlfriends or family who own an Excel.

Just though I would let you guys know.

I agree, if they want an EVO why dont they go & buy a real one

(there are still 3 brand new 6.5s at Yorke Mitsi)if not, it's a bit lame trying to make the base model look like the race one.

It's a bit different with the GTSt vs GTR thing 'cause a GTSt is a tough car in the first place.The standard lancer is far from tough -

it's a front drive, atmo 2litre.What more can I say!

i agree, vandalising peoples cars is ****ed up; i know, its been done to me.... :P

Even it is an Excel, it's still someone's pride n joy which they payed good money for. I dunno why you'd want to personally, but they obviously appeal to some people :(

The Excel appeals to me due to its bloody awesome fuel economy!

Wife & I had a '97 GX 3dr that we clocked up 120k on it (daily hack- many trips all about OZ!) The only thing we had to replace - a couple of blown headlight bulbs @ that was it! I gave that thing hell too!

Sydney - Adelaide = ~$100 fuel

Someones pride & joy, daily hack or whatever damaging someone else property is NOT ON :)

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
