Okay, Basically i had my car repaired (UC Torana with RB25DET) at a local panel shop after hitting a roo.

Now, I get my car back and a week later i decide to check my K & N filter (standard R33 airbox) due the fact driving on dirt roads.

I find that there is no longer an air filter. I've traveled 1,000 klms since I picked it up. I know it was there and I have even a photo of the car in the shop from the assessor with evidence that it was there.

They are claiming that it was never there and I must have taken it out.

I've bought another one in the meantime, but I still need some help.

Someone from the Sale area in a dark grey/silver Skyline took a picture of my engine bay after we had a chat about cars. His photo may show the missing air box abit more clearer.

Also if anyone was offered or bought a stolen K & N filter to suit a R33 skyline I want to know. Not to get you in trouble, but whoever sold it to you in the first place.

All this happened probably about 4-8 weeks ago.

Any help would be great ad I don't want them (thief from panel shop) to get away with it.

Honestly, its a K&N filter. They're peanuts.

Just tell everyone you know what dodgy bastards they are and never go back to them.

I highly doubt anyone is out there making a huge profit off selling stolen (and used) panel filters.

I know that it's only $109, but it's the fact that some one thinks that they can get away with it. I want the person responsible to admit and be punished for doing it.

What would you do in my shoes? Would you be happy that your turbo has been sucking dirt, bugs and dust for 1,000 klms?

I've actually had a similar incident where my mechanic left my the upper part of my air intake disconnected.

I discovered it pretty quickly, and yes I was pissed, but there is nothing you can do.

You have no proof, and they're not going to admit it. I just told all my mates never to go to that joint, and never went back.

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      By JC71 · Posted

      would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
