As the title says, my car just got bricked.

It's an MR30 skyline sedan.

I heard a wierd sound while I was sitting at my computer, so I went to go outside and have a look and heard a smash. When I opened the door I heard a shuffeling and I couldn't work out what was going on.

The police came around but chances are I reckon they wont be able to do anything about this. I don't really have many enemies so it sorta rules that out as a possible reason. I think.

The most anyone has ever really done before is slashed one of my tires, I reckon it's probably the same person. I hate this, if someone has a problem with me then they should just confront me instead of being a coward about it and striking when my back is turned. The reason why I think this is specific is because my tire was slashed and it has been slashed before.

On the otherhand, the pizza bar up the road got its window smashed like 10mins or whatever before mine got done so maybe this is random, or maybe a couple of guys are going around trying to dishout their own grade of retribution for small things that probably aren't even worth thinking about.

This sucks.

Man that's messed up. I had that sort of stuff happen around my way, so much so i'd tell all my mates to park in the driveway.. these days it's not so bad, but yes I understand how frustratrating it is when someone does something like that and there's nothing you can do about it.

Where you at if you don't mind me asking?

Ya, what also sucks is that my insurance wont cover it. It's only 3rd party. I wish I had a garage.

Flinders park.

That sucks man! Had some little shits today near where I live throw something at my car as I drove past. I stopped, looked in the rear view mirror and saw the little coward start to shit himself. Did a u-turn, got outta my car and drilled him. Shoulda seen the look on his face :P His friends who were laughing when he threw what ever it was, distanced themselves from him and kept on talking to themselves like they didn't know the guy. When I asked him why he threw something at my car (turns out it was a rock - lucky he's a crap shot) he responded with "It's fun"

These idiots seriously have nothing better to do than destroy other peoples property, it's a sad world now where we have to watch our little toys 24/7 in fear of some jealous ingrate doing something to it

I'll be hitting up a wreckers. I'm using this an exuse to borrow some money off my parents so I can do it myself and then buy other shit for my project on the side. (which thankfully wasn't targeted, althought the front windscreen is already cracked on that car)

Maybe I should get two windscreens while I'm there, one for my norm car and one for my project. f**kit I'll prolly do that, though I wont be left with too much money remaining to get the other shit I'm after. I really need a house with a garage, just another excuse to move out after I sort my project car.

I really can't stand disrespectful people like this. It really is a satisfying to scare people shitless after they do things like this. It's too bad I couldn't see the f**kers. I think they must've had a get away car come to think of it. I remember hearing something take off abruptly.

yeah that sucks and if it had hit the car and u hit him your up for assault (assuming hes of the age for you to hit not older child)

or if it hit your car u chased him and HELD him to call the cops his parents would slap assault charges on you :) cant win

I know how infuriating this is. I went out 1 nite down Henley Beach way & left my car parked on the street. While I was gone some wankers felt the need to make a mess of my car by throwing an egg at it. Not only did it leave a mess it also shattered the paint where it hit, & I'd only had it resprayed less than 6 months before.

This is now going to be getting fixed up by Doyles' while the car is in there. But I swear if I caught the a#@h@*$s that did it, there'd be broken limbs.

Youth have nothing to fear when it comes to consequences so they have no respect, I'd love to show them what it means when someone doesn't respect them........

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
