so i left the garage door up when i went to work this morning (my own fault i know) but when i came home i noticed the set of bmw rims i had were missing, and then saw that on they're way out they'd taken out half the wall.

not what i expected in south perth, but what ever

the rims

the wall

even if it were a 4wd im sure it would have done a hell of alot more damage then they're worth

now they left some tread patterns behind, could some one identify them by chance??

if the tread is still there after the rain, then take a shadow relief photo if you possibly can

clear all the debris away, then get a powerful light source shining towards the camera at a low angle to illuminate the tread pattern and shadow the other side

do it from both sides

if you can throw a ruler into the picture as well for some reference it makes it a hell of a lot easier to gauge

Pretty ballsy coming into your garage like that and knocking off your wheels . . . . they dont muck around in midland either, sometime during the night some f*#kers went to the trouble of stealing my water tap out of my front yard,at least they turned off the water at the mains first. . .

... Why would anyone steal a water tap...too many idiots around with nothing better to do.

you got that right. . . its the main reason why i park my line waaaay back in my yard, ppl seem to get off on randomly setting cars on fire etc

thieves even stole the copper pipe (for hot water system) off the outside wall on the rental property that im in . . .they must of got all of $5 for it at the scrap metal yard

      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?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      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).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      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).

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.

      I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
