Last night at about 6:30pm someone attempted to steal my R33 gtst

Mooroolbark Victoria

They tried to pry my garage roller door open and luckily didn't manage to get inside before being spooked by neighbours.

A shifty looking guy has been hanging around for the last few weeks, this is the reason she's off the street and I've kicked my brothers new Audi out of the garage into the weather.

Seriously lock your cars up tight

I've made a bar lock that goes from front left rim to right rear rim under the car that locks in place with blast proof locks, leaving the car unable to turn or roll.

If you want one

Call me 0402185982

What stops them from taking your wheels off? Or does it just poke through the spokes rather than bolsters to them?

So the bars poke out through the rim and have a plate that's slid on before you lock it down.

I suppose they could remove your wheels, but the time and effort involved is to risky, I also supply security wheel nuts to stop them removing the wheel to start with.

Another product if your worried is a quick release positive battery terminal cable that un clips from your cars existing cable.

It's got a rubberised sleeve to stop the metal joiner touching anything whole driving but can be removed by simply removing the pin and un clipping it.

Leaving your car with no power to start.

This gets annoying say if you have a preset audio selection on your stereo, but is another sure way to keep the car safe.

Is your garage directly on the street or at the back of a driveway?

I'm astonished that these Gts-t's are still targeted so hard! Don't get me wrong, I love mine, but they're hardly worth anything these days, and there are plenty of other cars to steal out there..

Yeah I don't get it

Parts aren't worth much?

What's the point?

My garage is at the back of the driveway

Im guessing its bot the price but the easy market to pass the parts on to. For example if they stole a bmw how many people would honestly be looking for those parts?

Well yeah the price of a 2nd hand Evo 8 Exhaust, compared to a 2nd hand R33 exhaust... Price is about double for the skyline parts

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
