Hi all

Well tonight i return to my car at the train station and notice a few cars over some bogan scumbags are flogging the number plates off an old subaru wagon. It took a few seconds to realise it wasnt there car and by that point they saw me and i froze just thinking f**k, they have seen i have caught them doing it and they looked at my car. I know there number plate but they saw mine and my car so can easily come back and flog mine aswell or just vandalise it. :domokun:

Are there ways to keep your number plates safe? like special screws or something?

i will rivet to your bracket thing if you want rob, but the allen keys are probably beyond those guys anyway. i dont think you will have any trouble, as thats when you will go to the police and say xyz, they wont draw attention to themselves tahts how crooks work

Couldn't help but read your from campbelltown....I've had my plates taken twice once in the car park at Ingleburn (woolies)

the second time from my front yard...rural west of Denham court.

It co-incided with the petrol prices.....haven't had a prob for a while...where did you see this happening??, alot of dead sh*ts out this way.

TBH as petrol prices rise the amount of theft of plates and the petrol drive off's (theft) have also gone through the roof probably 20 fold in last 2 years. I believe Neighbourhood watch had drive to hand out special screws to stop theft of plates.

plate theft is a common thing . if they are taking your plates , they arent targetting a "skyline" in general . it happenes to all different types of cars , and the reason it is done is to steal petrol. i know of some bad groups who would do the exact thing . so if your plates go missing - report it to the police , because for all you know your plates could of been in used in petrol theft or a robbery - who knows , but it does happen sadly . damn degenerates out there.

a good idea which i am thinking of doing , is bolting my plates , so that the bolt head - which is just a raw head with no fitting on it , is facing the front , and a bolt is on the back in the bar - that way no one can take it off unless they get the bar off . - bit extreme but i can access mine due to the fitment of my intercooler - little would they know. and would save your plates.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
