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.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
