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

I don't get it tho, like if the cars full of performance parts then yeah you could sell off the bits and make some decent cash, but my skylines stock apart from the turbo timer and exhaust?

Parts aren't worth much, I picked up a complete Body (r33 gtst) with full interior and was in good condition for $500

All that was missing was the engine and trans

Stolen cars like they'd hardly have bodies up online?

Better?

Almost, pics of the locking bar would be awesome... would be sweet if it could be bolted to the floor as well :D For those with longterm parked skylines or weekend / track gtrs

U sure they were after your skyline and not just random opportunistic crims going around seeing who's doors unlocked...we get em all the time here. One of them stole my space saver which was left in my carport....i found it a few weeks later on the neighbors hard rubbish stack..

Who the f**k steals a man's space saver. :blink:

Yeah I guess maybe so, but what made me think they'd tried to steal my car was the fact there is a back entrance to my garage, post-118413-13781622814944_thumb.jpg

This door was open

Next the roller door is covered in hand prints from being pried up. Dirty roller door.

This giving them obviously dirty hands

This next bit is why I'm scared

Please also note:

The skylines nice and shiny from being overly and obsessively waxed and polished, to the point you can't lean on it because you'll slide right off it.

OHHH I forgot this last bit

You know your boot key hole???

The one that has the lid thing that slides up??? The lids broken off and the insides of the barrel are all stuffed and so is the end of one of my flat head screwdrivers

      Rusty roof repair

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Hot tip, stop picking at shit. Live in bliss instead   From my recent experience in rust repairs, white it may seem to not go much further back, you'll still need to cut back a bit further.  From what I can see there, the outer skin, and the inner is rusted too. From what I can see you've got the inner one which is all structural, and window likely affixes too.   If tag Murray Calavera here, but my phone won't let me tag him, he'd probably be able to give the best advise.   I do know, welding roof panels is a right pain in the bollocks! Very heavy to heat distort the roof and warp it all.

      Some of the filler.   Also if I look under the top flap of metal it starts looking good quite close to the edge. I get the feeling it doesn't go much further.

      Rusty roof repair

      So, I finally started digging at the bit of my roof that was cracking and bulging a bit. Well, it was just thick filler that was covering some pretty bad rust. I didn't find the edges, I was too bummed to keep going.  There are a few holes as you can see. There was just so much filler but looks like no attempt under the filler to prime or use rust converter, just slapped filler on exposed rust.  Anyway, I'm going to take the windshield out and find the edges. I'd love to fix this myself as I'm pretty sure it'll be expensive to get done properly. I was thinking I could just get a cut piece from another E39 and just weld it in place as it would be the right size and shape.  Thoughts?

      This is the territory of the "Stage 1/2/3 Golf GTI/R" or otherwise off the shelf tune with (relative to before) minor mods. It's easier now. Downpipe and Tune and boom, big increases. Stage 1 OEM+ is where it's at. This is where the niche evolved into and it's really easy to see why. It's rare to even NEED to consider changing turbos or going to aftermarket ECU's or building bottom ends for more power. Stage 1-2-3 will get you a LONG WAY. Civic Type R turbo GR Yaris/Corolla Anything with B58 (MKV Supra/x40i) Anything BMW in General Anything Audi in General Any turbo AMG RenaultSport Turbo offerings Korean Elantra N/I30N Ecoboost Mustangs Focus RS? List goes on. I would argue in the future it won't even need to go on... M3P is pretty rapid out of the box...

      There is a way, but it's not with the same cars. You need to find the same vintage of car, that we had. Realistically, that was an affordable car with aftermarket parts around. So what people need to find is a car that had a decent base in its day, and can be modified. They're looking for a car year make of 2010 to 2015 really... Aus could have done it if Holden didn't fold as V8 commodores were cheap, and if Ford didn't get expensive thanks to COVID, then you could cheaply play with FG Barras. Realistically, those are just a bit heavier, four door skylines. I'm sure the US and UK have similar cars they could find.
