R34 GT-T at Tooronga Station, Malvern


Recommended Posts

To whichever lucky sod owns the Grey/Silver R34 ( complete with SAU stickers ) which parks at Tooronga Station, a word of warning:

I often see your car at the station in the arvos when I get off the train. Last night some dodgy character was scoping it out.

He looked in the windows and watched it from a distance so I watched him from a distance. He soon noticed me looking at him and he bailed.

I dunno if he planned to break in but I thought I'd mention it.

Cheers,

E

Hes playing with fire leaving it parked at a train station all day everyday!!

I gotta agree there mate. Its always parked in the same spot. Not in the Station carpark but outside it on the street. Very conspicuous. Well, I always notice it.

i remember reading once that a large % of car theft and breakins are from train stations... Bit silly to park any car there, never mind a nice 34

you're best off buying an unregistered crapper for $200 and driving to the station every day i think..

it will be hard to steal a car even if it is parked outside a train station in broad daylight. I dont know..

u recon?? after the morning rush at the train station, there is no 1 there very easy for a thief to steel a car in the middle of the day!

ahhhh...funny. It can take a thief less than a couple of minutes to disable even the fanciest alarm system. And how many people at a station really pay any attention to what is going on in the carpark?

you may as well just leave it parked at a shopping centre each day as well... with a big STEAL ME on the window..

but surely there wil be ppl walking around, cars zooming by.. ppl frm their houses looking out .

actually, i don't u'd need to, as another large % of cars stolen are stolen from shopping centres..

Anyway, my point is if you leave your skyline at a shopping centre for long periods of time or train station BAD BAD BAD BAD

Ok firstly, the 34 is never in the carpark, its always on the street outside the carpark. ( easy getaway )

Secondly, how many times have you heard an alarm go off and taken notice? Actually, how many times have you heard an alarm?

Most alarms go off and nobody ever flinches unless the alarm keeps them awake.

Guys, now i am worried.

I park in on the road rather than the in the station so cars coming pass can see it and anyone trying to break in.

I guess I will have to collect my car now and drive into work... damn petrol and parking costs.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
