by the way KISIN i really like the way your car is set up. i could tell at a quick glance that you had all the bases covered.

a little sad you have to sell it but you know what they say..family comes first!

at least i know you havent thrashed it and have treated it with respect.

its a damn shame so many others in that state dont think the same way as you do.

Sell car -> finish house renovations -> sell house -> free car on profit made with house.

Wont be log b4 i have another 1 :thumbsup:

yea my r33 gtst was almost stolen about 2 months ago down the road in a church carpark while i was at a wedding!!!! they managed to try to rip the alarm out and just cracked it and they also ran off with my passenger door handle and took a screwdriver to the door ats a mess!!! alarms are a great thing!! made dudes there take some notice to the skyline with its bonnet open!! cops tho didnt do a thing we rang them and they said they couldnt do much just looked for the car which was a black VS ss with stolen plates and 3 teenagers! i have learnt my lesson now as this is the 3rd attempt on my car in the last 6 months!!! i have now got a daily and the skyline hasnt seen the road for awhile till i know its safe and i can still see it in my sights! keep your eyes peeled they are out there!

Lucky someone spotted the bastards. Not good times for us Skyline owners at the moment.

It's been awful reading all these threads over the past few weeks. I'd hate for my baby to get stolen.

Have a bit of a read on this site and also Search You Area

sounds fun but wouldn't make a difference.

if that was the case and people thought twice about commiting a crime if they new there would be a consequence, there would be no crime in the world would there?

When we were younger we had a few issues with 2 areas; police action (or lack of) didn't work.

Vigilante action did. They dissapeared; must of moved area. Either way it appeared to work.

One was a group of surfy bums, another a group of drunken aborigionals.

In this case.. Unless its a group then no. Its near impossible.

This reminds me of my mates brother.....parked his commo at a busy car park for 40 mins to come back and find that his car was on blocks and his very recently purchased 19" where gone.....and this guy paid over 3 grand.....but they were hideous so i think they did him a favour....

seriously crazy that whenever I park my car I have to think about it being taken or wheels stolen.....absolute BS!!!

No matter where you park, if people want to do your car they'll do car, be it in the driveway of your home or at TTP. If you spend most of your time worrying about it, then you really can't enjoy the car for what it is.

I'm with madaz, get insurance, get an alarm, and if it gets nicked start again.

    • 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...
