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.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
