If you live in a backstreet, camp out and get one car to wait up one end of the street, and one down the bottom. Have CB's on hand and when they strike call out both cars to block the road. Watch them shit themselves.

Murphy's Law has it that they will stop the night you decide to camp out. I haven't been egged since installing my surveilance system...what a coincidence.

I hate the little B-stards that do it. I had my R32 done 3 months after I bought it and it was baked on, on a 35 degree day. Also had Mum's Outback done last week also, but managed to wash it off before it got a chance to wreck the paint. :mad::happy:

If you catch them use some rotten eggs on them so they might think twice about doin it again.

I've copped an egg from a car on the other side of an 80km/h road (so combined impact speed of approx. 160km/h). Chipped the paint down to the primer. Had my window open so could have been bad. With the sound it made I thought it was just stones that flung up until I got home and saw egg shell.

I'll probably regret saying this after I get flamed by everyone, but for a very short time of my life (probably about 3 or 4 times) I used to be one of those little sh*ts egging parked cars, many years ago. A couple years later once I was on the road, I received my share of eggings which I deserved.

For the record I never egged an import, these were usually old beaten up cars, but wrong none-the-less

Can't stress enough to invest in a car cover if you are parked outside!

^^ At least your honest. Most people used to do stupid things when they were young. And realize how bad and annoying it is later.

I for one was wan of those little turds that thought collecting badges was cool. 13-14years old.

Id like to add, that i only ever took a pulsar "P" and a Mitsubishi symbol :( And i never damaged anything.. i had a little 'respect' LOL like an honest thief.

But then, i got my karma. 1st nice expensive ITR. F + R red H badges pried off with a screwdriver. f**ked the boot lid and bonnet.

Have been egged too. Dirty broad minded person X GF... lol glad it was only a Poolude and she hit glass. Dont think she quite realized the damage she could have done if she knew how bad it was on paint ;) Silly bitch.

Not egged but years ago on one of my previous cars (Calibra Turbo) when it was only a few years old, I had white paint splashed all over my bonnet. Not nice considering the car was red in colour. They also slashed both left side tyres.

Then I got my R33, they pried off the rear "Nissan" badge off the boot which as you all know covers the boot lid lock...

Bastards! I bet it was the same people as both times it was parked outside my then GF's place.

LOL I'm the opposite. I've copped so many eggs in my time - been out there at 2AM scrubbing off bullshit egg stains. I was never one to do it as a youngin either. So I thought I'd balance out the universe a few months ago and give it a go...it's actually quite fun!

I'm really paranoid about this one happening.

It hasnt happened yet though...*touches wood*

Although: my boyfriend has the same car as me, R34 GT-T and his car was at my house one weekend (right next to mine) and someone stole his badges (quite possibly during broad daylight)

He was planning on debadging but was pissed off because they chipped the paint and everything.

I'm definitely going to be buying a house with a proper garage when i get to buying the house..

I got egged a couple of months ago when i was out on a sturday night. Came home pretty drunk and just happened to stumble over near my car to find eggs all over the bonnet, roof and bootlid. Talk about pissed off!! Spent a good hour and a half trying to get it all off wth the hose, obviously couldnt drive it to a carwash, and luckily i was able to get it off and buff out the scratches from the egg shell.

Ended up finding out which local tools did it though and their time will come very soon, i wont be using eggs though

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
