So yeah anyways someone tried to rip my car off last night....

but failed thank the son of rajab!

Edited as per request

Anyways got into bed and noticed I could hear a more noise than usual but I just thought it was the wind n cars going by n stuff so thought nothing of it and went to sleep.

But while I was sleeping my precious 34 was getting the Randall Raines treatment lol but my alarm system worked the pre warning alarm bleeps went off and they must have sh*t themselves done a runner, i woke up this morning to find the boot lock had been jimmied out the boot and just sitting/dangling there and my drives side door had some slight damage, a few scratches and a paint chip that I don't think was there prior to their failed assault lol

To my disappointment I didn't see them so I couldn't chase after the little pricks but if I did I would have beaten their head in and gave em several for the r32foordoor dude with the white 34gt that got pinched last week.

GET YOUR OWN CARS YOU LOW LIFE SCUM! STOP TRYING TO STEAL FROM HARD WORKING NORMAL PEOPLE WITH JOBS!

Also just to add I don't think these where very smart crims because even if they did get into the cabin without making the alarm go off and they managed get past all the alarm and immobiliser gear & the fuel cut even if they did get it started the stupidly loud exhaust shakes my house and my neighbours windows & fence so I highly doubt that no one would wake up haha

In summary – get a good alarm combo & just to top it off get some straight pipes :blink:

holly shit.....good thing that the alarm worked lewis....straight pipes are very good investments lol......damn if only you caught them....keep your ear out mate as they might come and try again

Wow lucky man! I do have an alarm and immobiliser (Cyclops i think) but I want to upgrade it sometime in the near future given all of the stuff thats been going on lately. My alarm certainly keeps things secure, but the only thing it doesnt do is give warning beeps, which for me is important.

they dont have to start your car in your drive to steal it.

Good to hear alarm worked

But it is auto and it wont move out of 'P' without the keys in and foot on the break, unless you know the secret and only a auto skyline owner would know lol

imagine if all the owners of other stolen cars took the same precautions as you did.........less than half the Skylines would be stolen and your premiums would be relatively reasonable.

Good work.

how much does it cost to insure the evo?

-D

Lewis, lucky mate. But be careful what u say about where you park you car on a forum. Some insurance companies want cars parked in a locked away garage over night, so things like this are harder to happen without braking into a garage.

good one mate, lucky.

i know a guy who has stolen a few cars over the years. scuuum.

one story was: cut padlock on guys fence, at night, while everyone is sleeping, break into three cars that are in the driveway, blocking the one he actualy wanted to steal, roll all of those out onto the street, then break into final car, roll it a block away before starting and driving home. once home he and his crew would spend all night with the oxy, cutting up the car and just leaving the bits they wanted (grinders make noise that will wake up the nieghbours).

whole things gone in a matter of hours.

get a dog lol

a dog, a big fence with barbed wire, spotlights, cctv and a phalanx system just to be sure

    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan.
