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.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
