Spotted a black r34 at wayville 4:30pm... i gave you a thumbsup dude :(

Ok seen a few lines around where i work in North Plympton........

Moroon R32 parked in front yard on Streeters Rd stockish, and not too sure if it's a GTR........ think it might be! Next door to him/her is a blue S14 also

A wine red R33 parks at the end of Starr Av near Morphett Rd looks quite nice, might have to park next it and take a photo of the two together.... :(

A stockish looking GM Grey R32 on Deeds Rd

and on Kinkaid Ave there is a white R33 with GTR wing and 17's, also looks quite nice!

Oh and there is sometimes a couple more 33's out the front of ION(old Castalloy) a GM Grey one with some decals!!

Glad to see some nice rides work in the same area......... Anyone of these people on here????

you do realise you are effectively posting a shopping list

of cars & their locations for would be theives?

I'd be pissed if you were posting the parking location of my car....

sorry bixby was waving to mxtcy who i spotted heading south on wst tce

No prb mate.... That's cool.. Just waved, in case you were waving to me. Didn't want to be rude.

Went for a mini cruise with my mates this evening to Glenelg. Saw lots of lines and coppas. Spotted a nice grey R32 and raised my hands up high!!! :( Nice bloke!

i would say Darren didnt realise this

best not to talk about parking spots ppls just when you see one driving on the roads

Be real

We are talking about skylines here, not Mclarens or Enzo Ferraris. If I was inclined to go out and steel a line I could find 10 parked in any shopping centre, and several parked in and around any business district.

In addition any of us with insurance have had to fit at least a 3 point immobiliser, so I would have thought there are plenty of much easier targets out there.

Shopping lists of cars are useful for everyday cars (Holden, ford Mitsubishi) because there are plenty of spare parts needed by the crash repair trade, the smallish skyline community makes the risk of butchering cars for this industry a lot riskier. You are much more likely to have your car stolen for a joyride than a shopping list.

Don’t get paranoid, just fit a decent immobiliser.

lol at above tell that to the people who have had there sklines stolen and see what sort of reaction you get

thats pretty much exactly it.

The increase in the number of imports being stolen in recent months around Adelaide is

enough to testify to this.

Can you tell me how publically posting the parking locations of these vehicles provides

any help in the security of them?

Other spotted threads on other forums have rules - one of which is dont post

known parking locations.

Ive posted about this in the past and got shot down by people...go back to near the start of this thread.

Posting locations where ppl park on a daily basis is a real threat more so than a car that is parked in a shopping centre which would be a joyride threat.

Spotted "hostile" R32 at the BP on the run, on sth rd st mary's. He gave a wave so I figure it might have been someone from here :) if it is, nice car mate!

Thats would be HOSTILE :/

its a nice car seen it in the traffic acouple of times

I also wonder how many of the stolen skylines have never been found (or found as parts only).

My guess is very few (if any) were professional jobs, The majority (or all) were just taken for a thrash (which wouldnt happen if a decent alarm/imobiliser was fitted) and dumped.

Getting off topic here - think I'll just go back to spotting cars.

Your a local on the NS.com forums............ you should be use to it! Can you tell me WHERE and WHEN all the Skylines in the past few months have been stolen.......... AT PEOPLES HOUSES AND AT NIGHT TIME! If your that parnoid buddy i'd say get a piece of crap you DON"T care about or get rid of your skyline! Besides if you don't have insurance, then your a FOOL! Get over it!

    • jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed
    • In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.
    • So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.   
    • If you are Ecutek tuned then these TCU tunes are anywhere from $550 to $700 usd. If you are not ECUTEK tuned, then it gets costly!    
    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
