The plates from Lorenz's stolen '31 Passage were spotted on a GTR this morning... Has anyone had a blue 32 GTR stolen?

ive seen couple of blue32 gtrs around. i take it they were just normal plates, nothing custom

i dont park mine in public anymore, got a crappy oldsmobile for that. couldnt pay a car theif enough to steal it. when i 1st got my gtr after huming about it i left it parked at the shop during the day for like 1 hr and someone tried to take it, done 1400 damage. lucky someone busted them in the act and scared em off. but spewing as it all come out of my pocket with the excess being way higher.

i keep seeing GTR's parked in way worse spots than i did, wont say where because they might park there regularly. but i dont know how they get away with it.

atleast mines safe at home, got a pretty good alarm system, and it takes me like 10min of reversing and driving forward just to get it out of the bs spot i have to park it in. that and there's 2 cars infornt of it with alarms and a dog likely to tear some nuts off. i highly recomend these safety measures for all GTR's

that and make sure no one follows you home, hit 270km just to be sure :D well maybe you dont need to go that far.

Ive worked it out, what you need to do is get some magnetic GT-R badges.

When you park, you pull ur GT-R badges off and there you have it, its not a GT-R anymore. Just stick 'em back on when you get back in.

But on a serious note that is some scary stuff. Computers that hack into the alarm and imobiliser is a daunting thought, these theives get more and more professional.

Makes you want to go out and get some of this gear:

      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.

      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
