Hey

I am unsure on full detail but some guy in a silver skyline keyed my mates gf's Green Excel at The Pines shopping centre at Elanora on the Gold Coast.

It wasnt just a small keying either, I think he had a brain explosion and started from one side and went around the whole car and finished were he started.

And then printed a nice smiley face on the back window.

The story I was told was, my mate and his gf were waiting to take the skyline owners park and he decided to take his sweet time (around 10min im told). So after he finished doing what he was doing he pulled out and my mate had some words, then they both had a little shouting tiff in the car park and my mate and his gf left and notice the skyline owner hanging around their car. After waiting for him to leave for about 5min which he didnt they decided to go into the centre only to find when they came back the car was keyed very deep etc.

Stupid thing is my mate didnt get the rego number or does he know what time of skyline it is, he thinks it was a newer model but could be wrong as he dont know Skylines. All he knows it was a silver Skyline either R32,R33 or R34.

If anyone has detail on this let us know or if the guy that did this is on these forums, have the balls and come forward.

Thanks

Wankers are wankers regardless of what car they drive it seems.

If you are the person who did that unconscionable act and you are on these forums, be a man instead of a little wannabe toy and make restitution for your actions.

If not, hopefully Karma will catch up with you and your pride and joy very soon.

Farkin Tosser, you should be ashamed of yourself.

Well ill be honest, if the guy deserved i would have done it, but only if the guy that owned the car wasnt manly enough to face the consequences of his actions face to face. ill stand by what ive said. Although we should not pass judgment as none of us have ne idea what happened in this particular situation.

Yer true on what chaos said but it seemed strange to me that they both yelled at each other then he comes back to find his car keyed.

Damn be much easier if my mate just took the number plate down or got out of his car and finished it there and then, but nooooo it leads to this and me making this post for him hahaha

Anyhow thanks for thoughts guys

This type of thing has happened to me more times than i care to remember.

My problem is where i park it, near a main road and i have no alternatives, wont go up my driveway :D

My last car was keyed, bottles thrown at it etc etc. I remember when i was prepping a gemini for paint years ago in my driveway some maggot threw a full beer bottle and creased the rear quarter to shite. Its either drunk fools, cowards or little punks running around at night. Someone tried to break into my zed just the other night with a screwdriver. I hear everything now, i wake to the smallest disturbances outside my house, its rediculous.

Anyway enough whinging from me

re keying ppls cars. I say go ahead and key if its called for, as long as you have the cods to stand in front of the owner and deal with the consequenses.

"do the crime-do the time" its so simple.

Listen up if I've got a problem with a person its between me and the person, no property or family is involved, if it is thats only going to make the problem worse. If you've got a problem with someone sort it out, however the **** you will who cares, but if you touch my car.......

I had eggs thrown on my skyline before and it scratch the paint on the rear, not that i cared, but i did manage to catch the 15.y.o *uckers the same week on his second attemp from his bike. He now mows my lawn with his mum blessing.

Yer its gonna be hard to find the guy who did it, but if its a newish skyline like my friend says aka R34 GTT Silver one, I have only seen one silver R34 GTT around that shopping centre which is in my area and I have seen in a few times.

So if im right then it shouldnt be too hard unless he is reading this and stays away from The Pines Shopping centre and the area all together.

I do some stupid shit, but touching other peoples property (read: car) is something I'll never do.

 

A car is hallowed turf, even if the owner smokes a pack of c0cks a day.

yeah true that, but it wasn't even his car man, his g/f's car, the guy that did the keying must be d1ckless sh1t cause that's just low especially if the g/f was driving at the time.

man if someone did that to my g/fs car (after the amount of money i have spent on the paint job on it for her) i would buy an old heap of junk car for like $700 and late one night find out where the other guy parked his car, take all the stuff off the car that could link it back to me and have me a bit of a demolision derby with it.

and leave the heap-o-junk parked in his drive way, just to rub it in his face......but then again i have been told that i have a problem with anger, so that could just be me

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup

      Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
