hhmmm interesting news... sis was at kirrawee and talked to another owner/victim of a black R-32 gts-t m spec

Yidz had posted the theft for him, as the posts went along there was a reply from the thieves,

they bragged about the clutch slipping,that it wasnt going that hard and that it would go harder once his cousin put on his T88, then that it was on its way to QLD, then said if they had posted earlier they couldve worked something out (ransom).

this is about the 5th skyline that has been stolen from owners in the area (shire) in the last month.

:D link?

Its a forum u cant track jack..

Moving along, I suggest people living somewhere which have there Location in the details of the forum remove them to prevent tracking if you sell something or so on.

And for god sakes buy a damn good alarm, its obvious they keep hitting alarmless cars and we all know how easy it is to access a Skyline, thanks to the stupid button on the side panel in our cars. Tell the installer to rewire this btw, so its only active when the key is in accessory mode.

Moving along, best alarm you can find (i dont care if you can afford it or not)

In this case its a little different and I feel extremely sorry for your sis. all the best in finding it. btw from the last string of cars being found they seem to wind up in bankstown with parts missing. I would suggest a drive around the suburb. prob contact the cops of the area and ask for car dump spots to check, train stations and so on.

Ill keep an eye out this way too. Cheers

There's been plenty of it going on lately around the area. The thing is, I don't know of one of the cars I have heard being stolen having an alarm and/or insurance so they are leaving themselves open to any person who wants to do this kind of thing.

That thread was interesting as it seemed pretty legit that this was the guy. Anyway, I didn't want to get involved in any of it and just posted it up generally for my mate.

Hense why I have taken everything of mine off of here...

Anyway back on topic. Sucks about the R34 mate. Looks like a tidy ride. Lets just hope all the insurance goes through all good. Good luck with it :P

Talking to Justjap today when I told them someone broke into my ride and found out it has a supersonic alarm to deter them.. Anyways the informed me about 10-12 skylines in the last month have been nicked. alot in sutho.

Real shame really!!

Ditto - if I HAVE to park in a shopping centre I generally remove the steering wheel and take it with me (quick release steering wheel hub)... I have a small momo wheel, and I always carry a backpack in the car.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
