Hey guys/girls

This is for my cousin. He has a Silvia s13 which he’s been doing a manual conversion into and dropping a black top also. The car has been in the carport however he does not have a full roller door enclosure one. Any way he has been working on it for the last couple of weeks. On the 31st of Saturday approximately 1am-3am the car windows were smashed and the stereo, the bucket seats and also $400.00 of tools where all stolen. It would have to be someone in the area close by to know what he had in the car and that he had the tools in the car also.

I put this up on sky aus. Just if you guys see or hear anything about it please let me know. The suburb my cousin lives in is Atwell,6164. I’ve seen some skyline drivers around that area if so, please keep a look out if you could.

Thank you very much

also here is a pic of the bucket seat

Oh my god, these guys actually went and broke into someone else's car? The cops were everywhere because these bastards tried to steal my skyline, smashed in window and all at 11:50ish. I called the cops back into the suburb twice but they obviously didn't come back! How messed up!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!! I messaged skyryan to warn him, if only I had everyone's numbers! :thumbsup:

by the way I highly doubt they knew what was in the car cos boy were they wasting their time trying to break into mine - stock stereo, stock seats, practically stock car. All I've got is a smashed window that now I've got to replace and hide my damn car in the mean time so the bastards don't come back!

Also I'm the other side of bushes right near the shops of lydon. I can't believe they hung around for so long after whatever they were trying to do with mine. If only the cops came back when I called them at 1am hey this might have been avoided.....

and one last thing............ I called the police and asked why the hell they didn’t come back out when I called them at 1:10am when the kids were outside our house in the bushes (opposite Lydon Blvd and the shops) and they said because it wasn’t priority that no one went for a drive by until 3am in the mean time they went and broke into the other guys car and that’s just bad luck apparently.

That sucks so much. They could have arrested the kids for damaging my car and had them pay for damages and would have prevented them from breaking into the other guys car??? What the hell!!!!

My boyfriend can identify the pricks as he saw them three times that night after my car got smashed into but this won't go any further of coarse now would it? They'd just deny the whole thing???

p.s.s. these kids were like 15 - 17 yrs old, they weren't old enough to even own cars!!!! Grr this makes me so mad!!!

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
