Ah that sux... :P

You mean the rubber strip between the top of the window and the door thingy? or the plastic between the window and the door (ie. when you roll the window down that plastic strip)

Try justjap? or someone selling R33 parts?

lowlifes!

scary enough - i had been having problems with my central locking. It would lock but then would not unlock. Had to open my car using a screw driver and a coat hanger a few times until i had time to take the door trims off and fix the problem.

I took the lock barrels out of my door locks and filled the hole with arildite to make it a bit more difficult for some bastard to steal.

Now im a but scared because i can get into it so so easy.

Good to see ya car wasnt nabbed or anything taken.

Which car park at Castle Towers and where?

The original (old) cinema car park, or the new cinema car park?

Looks like what they've tried to do is push that button on the drivers side which unlocks the passenger door. Disable this switch asap if you haven't already. Take the door trim off and cut the wires.

which coloured wires do ya have to cut to disable that? dun wana go cutting the rong wires, lol

is there any way you can activate electrical current through your door key hole when you arm your alarm so if someone tries to stick a screw driver into it it'll do a bit of damage?

theres an idea for alarm manufacturers!

rofl!! just hook up the 12v batt to the keyhole so when the alarms on it would zap any1 that touches it :) ... if needed put in a small step up transformer, for that added "ouch" effect :)

can't remember. Use a test light and see which one lights when you push the door unlock switch. :D

There is a thread somewhere.

    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
