i dont understand why people dont rig up a switch mounted under dash or anywhere hidden that cuts power supply to ignition/fuel pump/anything that makes the car start. such an easy cheap way to at least stop people driving off in your ride!

park it near the pedestrian entrance to the shopping centre, where more ppl walk by

that's quite common sense, I used to park in Macquarie Shopping Centre and do that

why? because I'm paranoid about my car been stolen which is a good thing.

Yes, they closed that thread pretty damn quickly. Didn't really say much after they got the car back.

All this BS means we need to take more precautions than the next driver. Imports are too much of a theft target.

If anyone is missing insurance/immobiliser/alarm- get them! Or you could lose your hard-earned car.

I checked NS forum, the dude didn't have alarm OR insurance.

There's a lesson.

Either the thieves have some sort of magical insurance radar to find the cars that arent insured, or a large majority of people dont have their cars insured at all!! I havent heard of ONE car stolen that has had insurance in a couple of years at least!!! :stupid:

that sucks, never hear many stories about commodores or falcons or excels getting stolen as much as imports..

I don't think everyone can afford insurance, I got quoted over 3k to insure my car, like wtf? its only a car thats worth around 14k?

Its cheaper to insure a lexus omg

That's not true but there does seem to be a large number of unprotected cars out there. Of course those other thieves - the insurance companies - don't help with their premiums and their policies. The other problem is people's priorities. They spend money on turbos or intercoolers or whatever instead of alarms and insurance. They spend it on new wheels instead of on track days. I could go on.

plenty of cars with insurance are stolen. it's just that the owners don't usually want to air out their business on forums, and just let the police and the insurance company do their work knowing that they will either be getting their car back, or a cheque. my car was stolen about a year ago, but of course it was insured so I didn't really have a need to post any "FARK!!! HELP MY CAR IS STOLEN" threads.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      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.
