Hey guys,

I'm posting this up on behalf of Hoony, who is currently unable to access the internet.

Last night around 7:45 there were two R33s parked outside his house, one was a black one, the other was white. The drivers were of bigger build, and were wandering around his car which is parked outside the house. When they saw his sister looking through the window, they quickly ran to their cars and left.

Most people here know Andrew (Hoony)'s car, it's a gun metal grey R34 GTT skyline with a full URAS body kit, no spoiler, and black boot and bonnet. Also has 19in Starcorp rims. The car is located in the Mirrabooka area. If you know anything about this, or you were one of the guys, we would appreciate if you could PM me (NA_Goodness) so I can let Andrew know. This may be completely innocent, however the last thing we want is to come home to find his car broken into/missing.

Any information is much appreciated

yes pretty poor post, edit it asap even the mods should edit the bit about it being out of the state.

Say something like he has the registation numbers of the two cars and unless someone here says they were just admiring, we will report to cops...??

MOVE THE CAR

No, his sister, brother-in-law, mother, and father are all live there as well, there is always someone home.

That's a plus at least, but like Simon said, move the car - at least just make it look like it's been out and driven. They know where it is, what it is and likely how long it hasn't moved for.. I'd give is 2-3 nights before they're back.

Is it in the driveway? front lawn? on the street? I assume it's not in a garage if they were walking around it.. if it's possible to get it into a lockup garage, do so pronto!

I'd offer my garage, but its full unfortunately.

Mirrabooka isnt too bad. My mate's cars have been outside for over 2 years without a problem. His dad's truck gets targeted but the Commodore with decent sound system doesnt?

Actually I agree with you. Mirrabooka is dodgy

OH Nooos, sounds dodge to me, and there in skylines?? they prob check this forum then.

Car ports at mine ar taken we have 3 bay garage but i move my dads car and put it out back of house under cover. I get a car port if i can beat His CV8Z Monaro in a drag haha

+2

ill take his car for a drive... :domokun: u know, just to warm it up. :P

+3

but yeah, call the cops and let them know that something wierd is happening outside :laughing-smiley-014:

nah seriously, least its been reported

does he have insurance on the car?

he wants to sell it anyway lol

otherwise hire a storeage space then garage it there till he comes back

better then finding it missing/house getting broken into demanding for keys

why does he leave the dodgy car outside in a dodgy area where dodgy people can steal it while he is on holiday?? andrew if your reading this dont worry. im sure you dodgy car wont let anyone steal it... your kit might crack while they look at it and make them run off :)

    • 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.
