Sorry to hear that this happend, it truely is shameful , I hope the police catch those who are responsible, most of the car enthusiast of perth know one another hopefully someone may know who did this and come forward, Its a sick feeling when someone stealsyour stuff , as im sure a lot of the skyline guys here can relate to having thre rides broken into

not wanting to whore the thread, but not wanting to start a new thread,

i walked down to the garage about 10 minutes ago, light was on in my car, checked all doors, they were fine, checked the boot, it was open, some bastards have popped the lock :P

thankfully they didn't steal anything, my 2x15" subs are there, haven't look for damage yet (apart from the lock) as I ran back up to the apartment to call the cops, which i am still on hold to :D

cops use dna fingerprints as scaretactics only they actually far to slack to bother i know this having suffered many breakins ( me, mates an family) and they jus dont care unless you really push issue christ once i had bloody ( yes thier blood) fingerprints on my windscreen an they still did jack

time for some vigulantee s%$t

sory ta hear bout breakin ears to the ground me an the crew

uneekwahn: fark I hope my car is ok :P Is your car in an underground carpark or what? If so, how the fark did they get in? Reason I ask this is because most places where you and I live have pretty secure garages, carparks etc.

Les: Sorry to hear mate. Hope the coppers catch the scum that stole all of that stuff. Unfortunately there always seems to be a huge number of break in's over the xmas period :D

dan: yeah, underground car park, but theres been a spate of recent break ins in cars and storerooms at our complex, we think its a group of people who lived in one of the apartments, who were allegedly running a drug business and prostitution ring from it, who were evicted, but may still have keys/garage remotes :P

ok now this i got told from a cop friend ad he doesn't bullshit me with these things and its gonna make you never want to go to the hospital.

Police gather their DNA records from blood samples when you are in hospital for an operation.

Since you've signed a consent form to be operated on, all the 'bits and blood' the hospital takes out of you is their property and there is some clause somewhere that gives the police access to it. This is how they build their database plus also the samples they take from people who are arrested.

But the logistics and financial aspect of it all is that if it isn't an important case like a murder they don't use the resources to pay for it.

THey will take fingerprints and stuff and store it on file but they don't process analyse it unless the case is important.

very weird though they took no forensics from the crime scene,

they can only take forensic evidence if there is any.

dusting for prints usually only works on clean surfaces because the oil on your skin needs something to "bond" to. Plus, you have a busy workshop where there are probably dozens if not more finger prints.

they can only take blood if its there, and skin cells/hairs are a dime a dozen in most places.

lets be realistic guys, its not like csi on tv.

    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
    • The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.
    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
