Why do we bother having nice cars and maintaining nice cars when little shit heads come along and wreck them. My bootlid latch is now half hanging off thanks to some little pricks that either had nothing better to do or were trying to break into my car via the boot. Not to mention the 2 key scratches left on my boot by some other little **** nuts just after I had it cut and polished. So now I'm left with a useless boot lock, with the option being I buy another one and I have 2 keys to get into my car or I just pull it off, seal it up and I have to open the boot via the latch inside... thanks. Not sure where this happened at home or at work, but I get the feeling it was at work today... **** I hate cannington, full of shit heads.

This happened to me too a while ago..... I looked around and found a new lock from a wrecker, stripped the two locks down and swapped the badge's.... End up costing me around $80 and about an hour of my time. I didn't need two keys either.

Rob - my car was also badged in Cannington (at the sevenoaks college) now I have a stupid hole in the side of my car. I am in two minds about whether to put a cheap nismo or something similar badge there or to get the GT badge... but why waste my money when it will just get stolen again. The thing that annoys me the most is that its prolly stupid little kids with no car - just so they can put the badge in their collection in their room.

well the only way to open my boot is from the latch inside ..... so something similars probably happened to my car before it changed hands.

My mum had her car keyed down the side in High Wycombe ....... just makes me so angry that jealous pricks will wreck your property and theres really not much that can be done about it. :)

Yeah, same thing happens at the shops. If you catch someone stealing you cant call them a thief or hurt them whilst detaining them... screw that, give them a few wacks while no-ones looking and just say that tripped over or ran into something :) I get the feeling I know who it was who did it... over the last 2 weeks been getting a lot of little aboriginal kids in the store and I've been throwing them out, although my cars parked at the back, I wouldnt be suprised if they walked around and decided they wanted the nissan badge off the back. I cant understand that, its not like its a special skyline badge, its just a plain old nissan badge that protects the keyhole... I could understand if it was a skyline badge or something, cos you cant get them that easily...

Totally agree - what do they get out of doing crap like that, let's face it what are they going to do with them.

Although not bad, I had my tyre valve caps (all 4) stolen not long after I got my car - they were shiny red metal ones that were on the car from Japan. Its not that they got nicked (can't believe some people would even bother) but that someone got that close to my car without me or anyone else knowing. That is what worries me but thank goodness they did nothing else. Needless to say just have plain black plastic ones from Big W on there now.

Cheers, Al

I went to the shops once and came out a different exit to approach my car from the other direction to spy a tu*d starting to lever off my guard badge. Got right next to him without him knowing and stood over him as he was crouching beside the car hiding. When he looked up in shock I never said a word but punched him fair in the lughole. Talk about squeeling like a stuck pig:) He scampered off still squeeling and holding his ear.

Geez that was satisfying

At the shops someone just walked past my Corolla and grabbed the strip that runs down the side of the windscreen and tore it up so it was sticking out when we came back to the car. What makes people do that? There is no money to be made by destroying others car for no reason other than to watch the person get P*$#ed off when they come back. Ah well. Rob, hope you find a boot lock at a reasonable price.

    • Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action
    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
