Hi guys

Just putting a word out there be careful of thieves who target imports/skylines. My car is a clean 1994 BNR32 was stolen and recovered on 26/07/2013 on Friday morning. The car was parked outside my house in Vermont south along burwood highway. I noticed my car was missing on early Friday morning. I found it later down the same street. However the car had a car cover put on it and it looked like the thieves had tried to hide their crime.

Once I took the car cover off I found the car had interior bits and pieces missing. These include floor mats, gear boot, shift knob etc. Also it looked like it had tried to be hot wired as the the wires under the ignition had been ripped out. The battery in the bonnet had also been disconnected. I have a mongoose m80 full alarm immobiliser system, I'm guessing that's what stopped the thieves from stealing and driving away with my car. Lastly the thieves had been under my car as they left the underbody trail just outside my house with the bolts on the ground.

I have already notified police and and my insurance company. If you have seen any suspicious activity along burwood highway on Thursday night/ Friday morning please let me know.

Pretty much to be expected, parking a GT-R on a busy highway where thousands of people drive, you're probably very lucky they just took some interior parts and didn't tow it like that MNP 32 that got stolen last week. I'd never street park my skyline anywhere that I couldn't see it.

Doesn't matter what the alarm type is, following ADRs there are not many to pick from and most installers are lazy which is the real issue

Poorly installed = car will get stolen.

Properly installed = car might not get stolen.

Alarms are just a time delay/deterrent.

I find it funny people pay $800 for an alarm system, but spend $200 on an installer. Spend $200 on an alarm and $800 on and install and you are MUCH better off.

I'm in Vermont South as well, luckily in a street which doesn't have any through traffic and I park off the street.

Last week I was living in Parkville, where that other GTR was pro-stolen on the tilt tray.

Paranoia is extreme right now

Seems as though people that want their cars stolen, still have them, and the ones that don't want their cars stolen, get stolen

my bloody r33 was insured for 6k more than I sold it for. Wish it had been stolen instead

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
