hey guys just thought i would bring to your attention i had an attempted theft on my 33 at around 5ish this morning. (been meaning to get an alarm but recent lack of funds stopped this). I got lucky, no damage on entry and they have popped the ignition to start it however the steeringlock wouldnt release so once it was out the driveway they got no where. And my trusty neighbour spotted it while out having an early morning smoke. had not got around to putting insurance renewal back on either so im very lucky to still have my baby here.

I live in Southern Brisbane around the sunnybank and runcorn area so if u have a skyline in the area make sure its protected. First things on my list atm now are an alarm and renewing insurance.

Currently waiting on qps arrival :( will update this if and when i find out anything from them. They have taken my wallet, gps and the cheap bastard even took my smokes!!

AGAIN MAKE SURE YOURE BABY IS SECURE, ALARMED AND INSURED. I wish i hadnt left mine so long now.

So many thefts down brisbane way at the moment.

Suprised your neighbour didnt go and confront them if he saw something going on.

You were very lucky though this time, you still have your pride and joy to enjoy!!

neighbour said she thought it was me at first but when he looked at her the guy suddenly headed up the street and didnt come back and the car was still out in the road running then she realised what was going on. Working in a prison though all i can say is if the cops do actually catch this guy i hope he ends up in where im working.

found a column for yours btw :)

sometime this week I will get it re keyed.

could be worse - mate of mine had keys,wallet taken from a unit in that area. keys were benz optical and they are going to be a pain to replace. add to that one ute that went for a drive as well (with tools in the tray I am told.)

lock them up or lose them seems to be the thing for southside at the moment.

had a chat to a neighbor a few days bay who has a toy tucked away and he was saying someone is trying to get that as well..

what is it with people???

Got a nice set of wheels? Love your pride and joy? Dont want some window licking fcuktard to steal it? Easy solution! Call Chris Rogers, Get the job done and dont be a tightarse. The guy is from what i can tell, an absolute legend and really knows his schnizzit. Alarms and immobilisers are there to keep the honest ones away, so think outside the box and incorporate other sneaky means to securing your pride and joy, im sure chris can make some subtle suggestions to you if you are a commited customer :)

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
