the thing is they are just so easy to steal, 

newer ones actually take some skill

whats with the work car park, cameras? open air?  

was it jsut drive past and go oh that's an easy one, or targeted

 

no idea how I was so lucky for so long had mustang parked on street in Brunswick for 3-4 years when I first got it (still remember going to see Gone in 60 seconds at crown with it parked in the multi story below going..hmm is it still going to be there)  S14 was on street all it's daily life alternating between work in south melb and home in newport..

 

guess eastern suburbs are just dodgier.

Open air work carpark with cameras, you can't see my car from the street, so someone has seen me drive in or wandered through the carpark looking for targets. Or someone who works here has tipped someone.

They don't really care where, anytime and any place.

Birds, buy a R34 sedan, noone will ever attempt to look at it, let alone steal it.
 

I get wistful happy thoughts every time I park in a carpark somewhere, but alas, no bites.

are you getting camera footage pulled? or they just don't care.

 

 

Bit of both combined with my own apathy

I've seen the footage before from the last time this happened, it really isn't useful, certainly not for identifying people. It will only show me if another car was driven in or if they came on foot in hoodies as they do. If there's a car or a clear image I'll give to police but otherwise it's a waste.

Put a old go pro in, turn off the recording red light and face it toward the driver door point out the window from suction cap and plug it in to the car to charge it when you drive, replace SD card every few days to clear it. Catch their face = win?

well you could add security and add preformance at same time...

 

set up a set of these suckers to the alarm and a bottle of NOS.

tasty BBQ when come back to the car plus a bit extra off the lights when needed.

 

Win Win

I could go with the old trick of a strip of thumbtacks under the door handle, leaving a small spot for a finger to get under there safely

Protip if you really, really hate someone - paint stripper under the door handle is not a nice thing to grab hold of

Speaking of parking, got 3 parking tickets in November (only finding out about them a few weeks ago because they had flown or were removed from the car) when parking at Essendon Airport long term. I called up the council saying I have receipts, why was I fined so many times? they said "we have photos here of your car with no ticket displayed" "that's because it's a ticketless parking system in the long term area!" goddamn inspectors are muppets. They must have fined every person in the car park.

They’re probably reading this thread and are now anticipating the thumb tacks

 

Hopefully they also anticipate me choking them out so I don't have to go to jail

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
