Hi guys, Just a warning to anyone selling their cars. I read the other day that someones S15 got stolen in a violent fashion. Well i was just told about a similar thing that happened yesterday to a guy around the corner from me (mitcham area).

He had 2 guys come to inspect his HSV Senetor, it was all good, they seemed nice enough and they were driving a Porsche Boxster. They all went for a test drive in the HSV then they pulled over, the owner was hit by some kind of Tazer/Stun Gun and thrown out of the car..

They left the Porsche behind but it turns out that was stolen too.

So be very careful people as this seems to be getting common

im currently selling my car, ill make sure i have a couple of mates with me when people come to look at it :laugh:

Make up some water filled seat covers, which are connected from seat to seat. That way if the dude trys to tazer you he will get some electric loving aswell.

when i sell something, i always get the person to come to my work, during the day. this being my family business, it's a heap load easier for me to do that than anyone else.

i recommend if anyone were to sell a car, or some parts, speak to your boss if you are able to get the potential buyers to come to you at work, with workmates there, and easier for things to stay safe as well. could always try get another work mate to follow around when on the test drive as well.

      No need to replace the cover if it is still intact (not worn through). It would be worth checking the balancer for matching marks on the rear, but I'd assume the balancer was loose at some stage. The cam timing marks look fine, once you put the new belt on you can only be right or a full tooth out

      So been ocd with timing mark but checked from few angle and seems both cam are on and crank is matching as well to the slot on sump and crank pully   i noticed crankshaft cover has been robbed as per attached pic. Any ideas why? Could my balancer or harmonic be on its way out? should I replace the cover? https://ibb.co/ZR1JFYRR

      So now doing the change and first time dealing with rb so little nervous giving engine power and potential for screwing it up When you align all marks and then remove crank bolt, timing move little I assume you can put the bolt back in once you have removed the pully to get timing to where you want?   here is pic of my both intake and exchust cam aligned, depending on angle you look they seem to be either aligned or a half tooth or so out. Any thoughts? Should you angle your face and look at each mark that way as if looking straight rather than from above as it can be misleading   <a href="https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/HfWrGR9b/IMG-4447.jpg" alt="IMG-4447" border="0"></a> <a href="https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/JWBqWwr1/IMG-4445.jpg" alt="IMG-4445" border="0"></a>   https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.
