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

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
