I parked at uni today a whole hour, came back to my car, and someone had ripped my dash apart, again, and stolen my stereo, again. this is the last time i buy a bloody good stereo, they keep getting stolen!!! i had only just repaired the damage done to my dash surround from the last time someone stole it, and now it's all smashed again! i had my car booked in to get a new alarm installed on thursday as well!

is there something wrong with my car, or am i doomed to always have my stereos stolen?

ANU, just over on North Oval. i've parked there plenty of times before, no dramas. it's not secluded or anything, they must have known exactly what to do. i hate to say it but i'm hating having a skyline right now, too much attention from the wrong sort of people (theives and cops)

yeah it had a detachable face, but i was only going to be there an hour, so i didn't bother to remove it. they got my stereo, all the parts that goes with it, my CB radio and my new shoes i just bought... luckily i left all my CDs inside. it just shits me because my alarm had recently died, and i was about to get a new one installed... so shitty

ah crap.

Terminal, I gotta say, your car looks wicked. absolutely gorgeous. Saw it in the carpark just the other day and it's REALLY impressive.

BUT IT STICKS OUT LIKE A SORE THUMB. Most of the cars around uni are crappy old bangers. I mean, I have a fairly crummy stereo, and remember leaving my window open all day and no one took anything. that's 'cause it's an innocent little pulsar (still love it though).

the have-nots and slime buckets of this world will go for it because it looks so damn good. and they don't care how you feel. these are the same f*ckwits who bash the side of your car when they open their doors. i have heard many hair-raising stories about jealousy etc. and can say that it may well even be someone you speak to regularly!

as for north oval, i park my pulsar there but would never park my line there. about three years ago my gf at the time had her crappy '83 pulsar broken into over there. you know what they nicked? her battery!!! her #%#@ battery! it wasn't even new! it's a veritable whitman's assortment for car thieves, that place (as is any carpark like that i think).

also, i gotta say, i really think it's possible that thieves and that are reading this very forum to find out where we park our cars (i'd say a wrx forum would be even worse). call me paranoid?

anyway sorry to hear about it mate. here's hoping we catch someone like that in the act though, yeah? rip THEM a new dashboard.

nah, i only park at North Oval, or sometimes on Bolderwood St.

thanks sigsputnik, i try to keep it looking good, but it's a stuggle at the moment. i've got a 400R bar i'm getting ready to put on in about a week, then just need a general clean and regular maintenance and i'm going to be selling it. it's not going on the market until i have it back to 100% though.

I've gotten all the parts from Just Jap being sent down next week, only $370, so i'm not too dissapointed with that. would have been nice if it wasn't smashed.

My mates suggested getting a rotty actually, but then my car would stink of dog.

i was thinking of hooking up some sort of electric shock to the handle or lethal injection in the seat if the system wasn't turned off.... it's still in development though :)

    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
