Does bad luck come in threes?!?!?!

2 moths ago my 33 was broken in too. They had two cracks at it. Pulled back a wire fence to get at it and first time set of the alarm. Second time they just smashed the passenger window. Its quite funny... for what they would make at the pawn shop ($150 odd buck for the head unit) it is costing me out of pocket $500 odd and insurance about $2250.

Two days ago my mates old man backed in to my front spoiler and I bolted down thinking my car was again being broken in to. And then yesterday my car was keyed all the way up the drivers side. Just hoping the cut and polish on my first claim will get it out.

So I am a little curious on where to position and how to fit one of these ten dollar house alarms in the cabin. I had one go off in a foyer once and they bloodly well hurt your ears!!!!

If these bastards want something in your car they will get in, alarm or not. Your only safety is to park your in what you think are safe places- try to use parking lots, it costs a few extra bucks but at least there are less dickheads are walking up and down past your car like they would be if you are on a road. Dont think just because its daytime they wont break into your car, durin the day on a main road these scumbags jacked my headunit! My tint is only slightly off limo full black tint too so its not like they could see right in either. Obiviously keep your car garaged as often as possible and if you need to park keep it on main roads. With the way these ****heads are getting into cars at the moment - if they dont manage to get in thru the door they will just smash your window. Trust me them smashing the window is definately the cheaper option repair wise. Unfortunately owning a nice car comes at a cost, as i'm sure many of us already know!

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
