Hi All,

I have been checking the web for a solution to keep a neighbours cat off my V.

I have not caught him in the act so don't know if 1 scare is enough.

I've read that Pepper/Mothballs/Coyote Urine and few other products do the job with mixed results.

Also I have had a look at some of electronic solutions but would rather keep this cheap.

My Car is under a car port and I live in a row of units. Tomorrow I will probably try hanging some moth balls over the hood of the car as thats what the moggie wants to be warm and cozy while leaving mud scratches.

I am not a cat fan !

If anyone has had any experience please share ?

Please don't post if your reply is about shooting or trapping the cat. I just want the cat to stay away from my V !

cats hate water, especially cold water, hit the little bast*rd with a hose or bucket full of it when you do catch it, water is a lot more car friendly than napthalene hanging over your bonnet.

He will be there while the bonnet is still carrying heat so it wont be long after you get home

Best idea is to get a cat trap catch the prick and take it to the pound. Else you can get cheap solar powered sensor flood lights. direct it at your bonnet and maybe that would scare it off when it goes off.

Didn't think of that 1 but I'd have to switch it on when I get home otherwise I will blind myself when come into park.

Is there some kinda of spray that is available perhaps in pet store that you can spray to put cats off certain things? If you spray it near the car, that should scare the little rascal away!

I vaguely remember seeing some kinda product like this b4. Not 100% sure though. Perhaps check with a big pet store.

I belive that there is a spray available, just check that it wont harm the duco, as my old man had the same issue with a neighbours cat and i think he used a spray from a pet store.

Also if it is happening during the night and you know who the cat belongs to just inform them of the dusk till dawn ruleing in regards to cats (THEY SHOULD BE LOCKED UP...................................at night)

    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
