does anyone know what these buggers are actually doing to steal them?

do they unlock the doors eg - with thick steel wire to hit the passenger door unlock button on the drivers door main switch panel? -thats one of those things you'd be stupid not to disconnect. but then again if they try long and hard enough, they could probably even unlock the drivers door lock itself.

and what do they do to start them up? it is just like hotwiring any car?

one would think immobilizers actually do something...!

this is fking madness! i would love to catch one of these c*nts!

yeah dude...my silvia got stolen once from my garage..f*k dude...if i had a gun id shoot this mfkrs..im serious..the way they took my car was by f*kn up the key barrell..they took out the plastic bit at the end and then vala..thats all..u just need a screw driver to start, and the other thing my alarm wasnt on...so it was more easier...but the car was found in 3 weeks...stereo stolen ignition damaged.

is there such product that locks the key/ignition barrell? a plate or something you put over the key slot?

for commodores years ago there was such a thing as a full metal jacket but as i say this was for butterfly ignition commodores

This stuff strap.jpg

Basically, I was amazed how easy it was with absolutely NO sign of damage what's soever..... scary really :S

Note: don't want to detail how it was done, people don't always need to know every detail.

fact is if they want your car that badly. it's theirs. i liked the idea of removeable steering wheels. cool and very effective hah. but another alternative is to get a direct kill switch to your fuel pump. just hide the switch under your seat or something. good luck trying to start the car without fuel!!!! they can twiddle with wires in the dash for as long as they want ;)

thats exactly what ive done. cept not under the seat! :D

Not jumping to conclusions but last night I parked behind a white S2 33 type M with stock wheels and CC plates. They came from out of the house it was parked in front, looked at me suspiciously (I was in my 33 and expected some 33 mutual respect) and drove off. The only other thing I can remember about it was it's exhaust. Do you know what kind of exhaust is on it, Ryan?

Yeah sounds about right. They guy drove off nicely, like it's not as if he was driving it like he stole it but if you like I can find out the street address etc of where it was and PM it to you and you can go from there. I saw it in Belair (near Blackwood)

I just messaged my mate who lives on the street. He should know what number the house is. He also saw it with me and made the comment that that guy (who is the boy friend of some girl at the address) has had a few different import cars.

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
