My car was broken into last night in my driveway. Everything smashed or stolen :D

I am - in a word - devestated ;)

The GTR-88 plates and all the Apexi gear (RSM, AVCR, boost guage) were among the things taken. If anyone hears of these and other items offered for sale 'cheaply' let me/police know.

I'm going off to cry :D

that sucks man ... my cousin had the exact same thing happened in his car .... he had no insurance ... they took 3 grand worth of audio and over a grand worth of gauges, boost controllers etc ... he was so devastated that he was going to sell it but now wants to do it all up again ...

OMG....

i am sorry to hear that jamez!!

how could people do that with no conscience?!

do u have insurance?

if i know anything about it..i would tell ya straight away....

u better watch out it mite be the neighbours around u....coz it will take them time to observe when is the best time and knowing the location to steal...!!

If i only know who did to the poor car and poor u i would make them lose everything thats attached to their body!

as long as u got insurance and no major damage...james don be upset...at least ur car is still here...just a little injured...i am sure that can be fixed right?:D

Thanks guys. I'm a bit upset about this. Nice to have some support ;)

Yes insurance covers most things (all of the car, none of the personal items). THe alarm was on but didn't go off. The doors were still locked this morning - they just smashed the windows.

Milk: I agree - I think the car has been cased. They knew just what they wanted - but smashed everything taking it out :D At any case - I'm going to move. Don't trust my neighbours now.

The Apexi gear is R33 specific (Ts and Rs) so - maybe someone will hear of it being offloaded? Lots of other personal items were taken (I left a bag behind the front seat - stupid) so I expect someone is pretty chuffed with their efforts.

Very upset. Taking it down to insurance assessment place now.

Will keep you posted.

good to know u got insurance jamez...take it easy hun

it will be ok soon...mite be a better idea to move to somewhere else tho...

eric...they are dumb....they even try to break into my car when they can see the blue LED going off AT MY UNI....made my battery went flat ...grrr those people just dont have hearts!

sorryz to hear the bad news james......yah id have second thoughts about ur neighbours too....mates of theirs could have come around and cased ur car out. at least ur covered!!

thats why i have second thoughts about mounting stuff like avcr's out in the open like that.

it is time to start a vigilante group

who has a panel van?

we will park a baited car in a dodgy area and hide in the van near it

and when we see someone go for it, we come out with baseball bats covered in barbed wire and bash the ****er and drag him back into the van and keep punching him till he passes out

then we strip him and dump him in the country far away so he can't get back to civilisation.

that should send out a warning to all those wannabe thieves out there. give them a good reason to quit. why need police for when we can serve ourselves.

hope you find out who did it jamezilla. if you do give us a call and we'll be out like batman and robin. hehe

death to all scum.

in the name of god, impure souls of evil thieves shall be banished into eternal damnation.

amen.

What date was your car broken into jamez? The post on that was on 04/12/03 11:53 PM.

omg james thats just wrong.... wtf are ppl going to do with the number plates?? they cant put them on their cars for **** sake so why steal them??

im all for the vigilante thing... ive got a few baseball bats lying around that havent been used for a while.

hey james post this around a few forums (even the NSW,WA, SA etc etc) and also the performance forums, MCCR wherever u can.

PS. PHAT32 is from these forums and i highly doubt that steve would have done it... he had those in his car.

i can only think of 3 reasons to stea plates...

1. Use them on a getaway car (but why bother if the cars stolen anyway), or in another state as you cant check plates from other states unless they call that state as the police dept dont have a massive database of plates from every state (dumbest idea ever)

2. To sell to some poor idiot who doesnt know theyre stolen (problem with that is that person, unless buying them via the internet, will have to have contact with the person who has them and as such will get found out when the person who buys them gets busted.)

3. Vanity reasons. (they keep a momento from each car they do over)

this is one of the bad things about public forums... and why i cant stress enough to ppl about posting things about their car like location and alarms (i know u havent posted about the alarm or anything james).

once again, sorry to hear it james.

they'd probably put the plates on a skyline, or anything that remotely looks like it and go for petrol runs. security cams in servos are a joke. at least they were when i used to work at one.

. . .

i am too connected to slip away. fade away. days away i still feel you. touching me. changing me. considerately killing me.

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
