you can work that one out for yourself...

i'd have a lot less worry parking my car in an enclosed car port - but if a theif really wants to steal it, they'll find a way in and take it

hence introduction of GPS.....

Yuppo.

Nothing you can do. I dont understand why thats so hard to get through peoples head.

If someone really wants your car they WILL get it. Alarm, immobiliser, gps etc. might slow them down but there's a way to bypass everything and an experienced thief will be out of there in under a minute.

Ive lived in Europe for half my life and a brand new Audi r8, BMW m5 etc. makes its way from Germany to Russia in 3 days. Im pretty sure these manufacturers take a massive precaution as to theft of their cars yet they are as good as gone.

Yes an alarm or immobilizer is required for insurance etc. but thats as far as thats gonna go if a real thief wants your car. Best thing to do is get insurance and hope no one likes your pride and joy a little too much.

all the best to getting it back, this is becoming way to regular. long shot, but if he has reported some of the items that are specific to his car e.g sound system, wheels or any clothes left inside the car to the police, and it makes its way into a cashies some time soon. you can trace back to who sold it there and get some form of justice

try the cashies in elizabeth etc.

(not tryna be stereotypical or offend anyone)

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.

      Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
