Yes, Well......

Post #2 on that article mirrors my thoughts about the dodgy compound's security system and the dodgy security personnel running it!

Even though my mods can't compare with his, my eccentric and radical security measures seem well justified.

Damn.. it's either at Singapore, Thailand, or Indonesia by now.

Similar thing happened to my wife's uncle in Malaysia... Lexux Harrier 4WD, stolen by indonesians.... it had some really important documents in the car. He found it out it was at the wharf on the border, apparently the General of the army was responsible for ordering the car to be stolen.. he was real cocky about it too.. my wife's uncle said, well if you're not gonna give me the car back, then at least give me the documents... the General said to him, "sure just come on down, and i'll let you eat a bullet".. fking hardcore shit right there. In the end, my wife's uncle paid him something like $1500 bucks for the documents.. so not only did he lose his car, he had to pay the general money!! fking ridiculous.

I thought the odd part was that the GSM thing went off (so they didn't know it was there) -

but went dead..

Third world? It's malaysia.. not afghanistan. Crime rates are probably just as bad here as they are there.

KL certainly looks sophisticated in parts.

But there is plenty of corruption going on, and where the police are compromised the criminal

activity is surely higher.

If a foreigner gets stopped for speeding he usually has the option of paying a "cash on the spot fine" (wink wink)

and the customs officers at the borders are on the take as well. I went over the causeway and was asked

to drop a "cash fine" (wink wink) onto the floor of my trunk, because I was bringing an undeclared

"electrical good" (a $15 12v fan in a box).

If sing $50 gets you a free pass with the highway patrol then i bet $1000 gets you anything you want,

any time you want it..

He is saying the general of the army asked for his uncles lexus to be stolen and thats that. you yourself can assume a general ordered the hit on this gtr but I dont think its appropriate to link it to howies comment imho.

Corruption is ramapnt in asia, its who you know and how much money you have. Having a good connection in the military is pretty elite, my friends uncle is some sort of general in laos and when hes over for holidays he can pretty much do whatever really, he's smart enough not to abuse it though.

What mr fanny said.. wife's uncle car was targetted by indonesian car theft gangs ordered by a general in the indo army then taken across the border from malaysia to indonesia.

Once it's across the border you have stuff all chance of ever getting you car back. They usually take it to another country and rebirth it there. Normally though they target big four wheel drives rather than sports cars.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
