Just a heads up guys.My son purchased my R33 GTS-T off me when I leased a ForesterXT. Gee I loved that car. Anyway. He drove to golf at Kogarah Golf Course on thursday to play with a mate. he came back to it at 2.15pm and noticed the drivers door was unlocked. On opening the door he found the ignition switch was smashed on the floor but luckily nothing else but some coin and sunnies taken. It looks like the immobiliser stopped them getting away with it. The disturbing thing was they got in without damage to the locks or windows. We got it flat topped home . We were a bit suspious of a car that turned up and parked just opposite and watched us unload the car.I spoke to a mate who is a cop and gave him the rego of the car, though my son found out where the car is from and so we don't think it had anything to do with the attempt

We got a new barrel for the ignition and all is good. While talking to my local import shop they had heard of at least 6 cars stolen in the shire recently.

disable the door unlock button thingy on the drivers side of the car.

+1.. If it isn't disabled, that is exactly how they unlocked the door without braking anything.

It's very easy to slide a shim between the top of the drivers glass all the way down to the button and click, passenger door unlocked.

damn you guys have alot of theft up there in nsw :D

NSW sucks balls.

Skyline owners, actually anyone that owns something of value to thieves, unfortunately need to take precautions.

Alarm, immobiliser, where we park and at what time.

Even then a car can still be stolen.

Walking ftw :dry:

Cut the brown wire. This will disable the switch to open the passenger door. You will still be able to lock the passenger door with this same switch, but not unlock it.

As 'Pauls33' has stated in his DIY thread, the R33 and R34 GTR switch wires are also brown.

Is it the same on a R34 GTT?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road.

      That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...

      Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.

      Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 🥲 But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.
