Not sure what its doin here, but just in front of my house there is a blue FD RX7 with the plates of SSEXYY or along the lines of that, it was there last night at about 12ish when I got home. My brother tells me he heard some really strange noises a bit earlier. I just got home from work about half hour ago (15 hours later) and its still there.. On a blind corner as you come down the road. Almost hit it last night! :P Nothing seems to be damaged on it, but its covered in a very fine dust... Like you would have after either driving down a dirt road or I guess parking your car near a dirt car park for many many days. To me it just seems wierd a car like that would be treated this way.. Besides the big chromies on it..! LOL! :P

Just hope it doesnt belong to someone that someone knows on here! Or if it does and it has been stolen then thought I'd let them know about it and get the word out about it somehow!

Sorry if I wasted peoples time! Just trying to help.. :D

yea he could be looking for someone to steal it to claim insurance but then wouldnt he park it infront of a buisness or something more sketchy :)

another thing maybe see if the doors are locked/alarm on, normally stolen cars get left with unlocked doors.

2hr window of cover up opportunity :sick: ftw

The people demand closure.........

far out man you easy going if you still got the car out the front.

i was in a accident and landed on the Council bit of grass with the car stuck in a tree. was wedged so bad the tow truck had to yank it out for 15min. first thing house owner says to me while im pissing out blood "you cant leave your car there" "your going to have to move ya car" said it to me like 5 times made up 90% of what he said.

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

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

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
