now ive had a turbo gtr/gtr for the last 4 years

never had a problem before

but in the last two weeks it has been busted into twice. i live in a very quiet part of padsow that noone ever comes down so they obviously have been checking the car out for a while.

now last night i cought them in the act (over at a mates place)

they couldnt get it started and left

so i called the cops

then the brains came back with 4 mates in a civic.. they scoped the car out for a bit did a few drivebys. i called the cops again

they were heading to the car so ive come out (not very smart) and they did the bolt. no point chassing i had about 12 beers

cops turn up 1 minute later and go hunting

cops say what car was it

i say skyline and they finsih the sentance "GTR"

anyway i now need a new key barrel and lock and new turbo timer

if only i had a gun

this is the only time the car has been outside in its life and it was in a pivate parking spot at a mates place in abbortsford

Well,

It seems like ure in a loose/loose position atm. Expect them to come back, so it might be time to revise ure alarm setup and drop something new in there, like a tracka perhaps?

Might also be a good idea to drop ure baby into storage for a month or 2. Sure its a pain, but if they get to ure car and can't tax it, they might be inclined to key it etc.

Dan I was thinking the same thing..........

He he - yeah Pete - I'll swap you for mine - Cheaper insurance, Not as old, maybe less milage, less hassle, more sideways action and give a GTR a good run for it's money.......:):P

I cringe when I hear of this stuff now. It just sucks to know that you can't leave your valuables anywhere... This is the worst thing about owning such a schmick car. Perhaps you should consider mounting a bull bar to the gtr and go hunting for the little bastards... :headshot:

Fatz, sounds like you need to do what i have done. Go to rebel sport and buy yourself an alloy baseball bat and keep it in your house.

Let this be a warning to anyone i find that should not be there. I have had enough from the crap job that the police do.

Like the sign says “Person found here at night, will be found here in the morning” (with a little picture of a gun)

Haha. I like that one! want to get something like that for mine...

I'd love to come up with some ingenius anti-theft device. One of the guys from work used to have a motion activated webcam setup out the front with sensor lights. That worked well, but you really need something that's going to deter them immediately.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
