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

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
