This is really driving me paranoid , hearing about all these skylines

going missing in the west...

All you can do is have insurance & pray your car don't go missing...

And be Vigilant...

sorry for bein lazy n multi quoting but those are my exact thoughts.

neway, living n the west, off a half ass busy road, i gained a some skill, call it whatever, to keep my ears well operating while im snoozing..(thats just built up paranoia stacking ontop of each other) my ears get accustomed to certain tones of exhausts from other imports, including other holdens n such. i can tell 90% of the time if a certain ute or van/rb/turbo/import with exhaust/holdens w/5,5.7&6 / w/ or w/out xhaust&stractrs, if they're living around the area or just visiting. yeah i know.. its pure utter madness really.

more than ready for it when that slight confrontation ever occurs though. gunna take some bullets to drop this kid.

nuff jabber,

sorry to hear that brother, ill keep my eyes and ears out.

Alarm, alarm, alarm!!!

Boys we need to take a bit of responsibility ourselves as you do have to realise that our cars are highly attractive to lowlife peasant fu<kwits so you gotta put an alarm on it!

I'm even going so far as to put 2 GPS trackers in mine. 1 in the front, 1 in the back so if they're smart enough to find one hopefully they think that's it! You can get them off Ebay for about $100 for a really good one that has live tracking via computer or smart phone.

A $400 alarm (with immobilser) and $200 worth of GPS trackers are a small price to pay to protect our highly sought after cars IMO.

I'm so paranoid about mine that I even check to make sure no one's following me when I turn off the main road!

Then like Novus above I've got a 4 foot negotiator bar and massive Maglight just inside the door to beat the shit out of anyone that still thinks it's worth trying!

I'll keep an eye out too but don't like your chances.....

yeah my alarm goes off if someone looks at it strange, get a good install and decent alarm.

i put in a tilt sensor for like another $50 also in case they just try to tow truck it.

alarm is just a deterrent. If they really want it they'll take it, remember the GTR that got put on the flatbed at Airport West shopping center. I will keep an eye out on way to work from Hillside to city mate and when I'm out at water gardens etc.

This is making me sad, i always garage my skyline but i have no alarm fitted or anything fitted yet, i will be buying a gps tracker by the looks of it as too many nissans are being taken in the west :/ my first 2 skylines got stolen, my first skyline got recovered (dumped at a lake) and the theifs never got caught, the cops have an idea of who it is but can't 100% confirm. and my 2nd skyline have't heard anything.. got taken on the side of the street in front of my mates house, with blown clutch and had immobiliser..

because my skyline is in the garage my honda will have to stay outside... but who steals a honda..

I don't get why people don't have an alarm, decently installed... Stops all of this for less than $400!

If it's installed correctly rather than "generically", you have to put it on a flat bed to steal it basically. More than just a deterrent if done right

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
