Question time for everyone

Is it possible to open the bonnet on the 34 by reaching up under the front bar?

Reason I ask is I had car locked in the driveway and not long got inside when the alarm goes off

Race out side and have a look around and didn't see anyone at first but stepson says he spotted a couple of kids jumping the fence two houses behind us

Get back and check the car and the bonnet is up but not open and the car was locked

Not happy at all, some f**kers tried to steal the car I reckon

Now I'm paranoid I'm going out the front for a smoke

wtf???? do you have the oil pan on it??

thatd be way to hard!!

why would kids try to steal your car?? thats weird as. could of jimmied it open?

Nah not jimmied

Reach through opening in front bar and find bonnet cable, pull on cable bonnet opens

Will make up some sort of cover to prevent this happening again

No idea why kids would try but will flog anyone if they try again and I catch them

MJH

At least you now know your alarm is a good theft deterrent...

And yes, your vehicle is very nice so wouldn't doubt they tried to knock it off. Definately make something up to stop them from getting the bonnet up.

R32 GTR UPDATE

The guy my cousin sold the 32 GTR to is thinking of selling it soon (he's only put 2000kms on it in the past 3 years he's owned it). My cousin is giving him a ring tomorrow to get a ballpark figure of how much $$ he's looking to get for it....then if its low enough might go for a look :). Has a forged engine and upgraded turbos etc...

I said to Dad if the chassis is 100% straight and original then its worth buying, so Dad said he'd be happy to buy it if so and that he'd sell it to me once I get a full time job .... =D

Just checked an yes you can open the bonnet by reaching up under the front bar

Have to do something about that

Yeah if they can get the cable they can pop it up! Hook it directly to your battery :P Or put razor blades around it!

If you think of a plan let us all know ;)

i know of at least 2 r34 gtr's that went missing via this method in the last 12 months.

We will need to start parking in secure places only, its shit!

At least at my place they have little chance of getting my car out without someone noticing, but people are pretty ballsy i guess!

haha yeah that's some balls!! I need to build this garage...

10 hours OT today for the fund

Good work man! Sounds like you are killing it!

Are you doing a colourbond shed in place of the existing etc?

yeah tearing mine down (when I got money) then gunna squeeze in a pitiful 6x6 in the yard. which will leave heaps of room round the left side of it. might put a garden shed there or a spa area way down the track? then the other side pimp out with plants and do a whole new fence and back yard will be done.

so much OT... hahaha.

got about 3k saved lolololol.

yeah I got a quote for like 3k for the shed and 4k for it installed! so add 3k for a driveway and council fees and should be laughing.

Still way cheaper than car lol

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
