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

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
