Friend sent this to me... I don't know how legit this is, but it sure is good to know something like this....

WARNING from NRMA and Police

You walk across the car park, unlock your car and get inside.

Then you lock all your doors, start the engine and shift into

REVERSE, and you look into the rear-view mirror to back out of

your parking space and you notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window.

So, you shift the gear stick back into PARK, unlock your doors and jump out off your car to

remove that paper (or whatever it is) that is obstructing your view. When you reach the back of your

car, that is when the car-jackers appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off!!

Your engine was running, you would have left your purse in the car and they practically

mow you down as they speed off in your car.

BE AWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED IN SYDNEY AND COULD SPREAD ACROSS AUSTRALIA

Just drive away and remove the paper that is stuck to your window later, and be thankful that you read this email.

Hope you will forward this to friends and family. A purse contains all identification, and you certainly do NOT want someone getting

your home address. Especially when they already HAVE your HOUSE KEYS!!!

Having a gtr spoiler set @ maximum downforce on my 33 pretty much blocks my rear view anyhow, piece of paper doesnt bother me, esp with 5% rear window tint, doesnt really affect my view as the spoiler and tint does a better job... hehe

in my car, once started, doors are closed and seatbelt is on my alarm activates the anti-hijack. As soon as i open any doors and take my seatbelt off the car starts to cut out after 2 mins. The only bad thing about it is that when i get home i cant get out and let the turbo timer do the job for me.

1st of all..

I got this email a few years ago, before I even had a car.

lol @ using real life things as spam mail.

good point whoever said u would probably see it before u got in.. but anything is possible.. if someone wants ur car they're gonna try their hardest to get it.

that girl on your bonnet will do a fine job obstructing me. alien were did you find her? more to the point does she have a sister

I'm up for going halves. :lol:

      Took a little trip  went to nismo hoping the get my fuel tank hoses and unfortunately they told me they didn’t have stock luckily I was able to go to a Nissan parts store and they were able to order them in for me  then can home and cleaned the tank with some degreaser and fitted the new hoses before putting it back in the car

      100% I’ll hack into the 33. Strap a turbo onto the RB25DE and/or put the 25 head on a 30 block. 33 passed in cos the reserve was too high. I’ll try lowballing it again and negotiate. Aim is to have it landed and on the road for under 15k, then spend the same amount on top in mods.

      It's generally best practise to run 1x run without VCT enabled, then 1x run enabled till redline. Overlay the two torque graphs and you'll find the desired RPM to turn off VCT. Sometimes, it might be even worthwhile turning off VCT earlier control torque/cylinder pressure and using VCT purely to spool the turbo.

      First time I ever have issues with Amazon, but my wife often tells me to keep an eye out for fakes. It finally got me. I wrapped up the conversation with Gates. The gentlemen I was talking to seemed to hate his job but the response time on their technical support is outstanding. He stated that the hose is marked with some variation of "SAE J30R10" but that if you only purchase a 1 foot length like I did, it is possible to get a cut between markings and have a blank hose. To no ones surprise, he stated the swelling and "gummyness" isn't normal and to replace/buy from somewhere else (He mentioned NAPA). I'll toss a small end of the new one in gas for a few days before pulling the hanger out again, just to be safe.  Hose should arrive Monday. For those running multiple pump in tank hangers, you know the joys of getting them out and back in. I'm surprised I haven't destroyed my level float yet.  Lastly once I wrap all of this up, I'm planning on hitting the dyno again in 2 weeks while I'm on vacation. I realized recently that my VCT is set to turn off at 5000RPM. I'm surprised it wasn't increased while I was on the dyno last. I'm expecting I can increase it to ~6500RPM, if not more. Should hopefully get another 15-20kw out of it. I also want him to revisit my knock thresholds. I'm occasionally getting false knock around 3000rpm.
