Again, Prob rock up in bankstown .. I'd search bankstown streets for it ..

Ive noticed a jump in the amount of cars stolen from the city and surrounding areas! my friends BMW 325i got nicked from chinatown the other night.. a 325!! hello its a bema! not to mention it was ripped off in chinatown at 12am.. busy!?!

I reakon people with insurance dont get there cars ripped off because we put in so much money to insure and protect it via alarms, kill switches and so on that its almost impossable. minus a truck that is.

Im gettin very scared that people are choosing to do this, from now on im disabiling my engine from firing when I park it.

Good luck with the recovery. seems someone is building a very powerful skyline and a very powerful fd. either that or boosting them to sell but i doubt that.

If you have a good alarm, you put it in place way before the turbo timer is able to activate anyway :) Ignition wires are no good to anyone if they're dead...

However, if you don't have an alarm, yes you'll get a couple of extra seconds of protection as they don't have to hunt for your ignition wires.

you dont need a turbo timer anyway, they're just for you lazy bastards that cant be bothered sitting in the car for another 20 seconds or so

anyway good to see he found it, i bet he'll be getting insurance quick smart

Many of us have an alarm AND follow the precautions you just listed (eg. taking another car instead). Not having an alarm is asking for trouble man.. I hope for your sake the next stolen thread isnt yours! :)

Edit: Oops - beat me to it Doof.. haha

glad to hear it was found. still cheaper options if you cant afford full coverage, like a quiktrak alarm or something, its not 100% but still very very good, my mates car was stolen and tracked down within a few hours with quiktrak...fact is you shouldn't really be parking your car anywhere but in a garage if you dont have a good alarm or comp.

maybe he's just smart enough to have insurance

Insurance wouldn't be valid on an import without an approved alarm and immobiliser anyways... its one of the conditions.. well at least to 99% of insurers .. there may be an odd one out there though??

btw congrats on getting the car back... insurance should of been the first call made once you found it.

      Starting again

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Duncan · Posted

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
