Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

would the workshops insurance cover your car Mitch?

it should as there was no waver or anything that had to be signed stating cars are left at owners own risk or anything to that effect ?

gotta wait and hear from either the shop or the police and go from there :P

Great to see ACA just didn't have time to run the drifting story, seems the crazy garbage ladies were more important. but then again by the way it looks the media spin doctors will be at work

Your car will be covered by them, its their responsibility.

This is why I refuse to leave my car in workshops. Not that I don't trust them ... I don't trust thieves!

Just remember some workshops have one of those lovely little signs, normally hidden in a dark corner that say "vehicles stored and driven at own risk"

Those signs mean diddly-squat.

do the not have good enough security in that workshop or something? being that this is like the second time they have been broken into :)

Well we'll find out soon enough when the CCTV footage is used to apprehend the thieves. If not, then I don't understand why they wouldn't have something like that in place. I have it in my own home, and I'm a simple 8-5 paid worker.

It'll be a case of: fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice, shame on me.

Thats why I don't like leaving my car in someone else's premises ... not when my home security exceeds theirs!

CORRECT...........I still laugh everytime I see those signs, you'd think businesses would've learnt by now.

      I refer you to this thread on PF, by someone who knows what he's doing. Paints a good picture of the humble AD09.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
